BOOK FOR MOTHER'S DAY LUNCHEON 12 MAY JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 26)    

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners but expect plenty of early pressure. LITTLE BALLERINA (1) won a game race in her last start over 1160m. She is the class horse in this race and she should prove hard to beat. IT'S HER WAY (3) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in a tougher race over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Likely to push forward and race up on the pace. Has each-way claims. KINDRED HEART (4) won a game race in her last start over 1000m on the Classic course when well supported. She takes on a competitive field but is a progressive type and should give a good account of herself. GREEN SAPPHIRE (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Gimmethegreenlight from Sapphire Gem who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Well worth a second look.
