SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

CHAMPION JOCKEY: GAVIN LERENA MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. FIERY ROSE (1) produced a promising debut effort over 1160m on this course. She showed good speed, but found one too good on the day. She would have gained from her debut experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to side with. QUEEN'S PACT (6) ran a fair race when fourth over this course and distance last time. She has scope and she is one of the leading contenders. ON THE RUN (5) is an unraced daughter of Trippi from the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not too green in running, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. WAR TALK (8) is a daughter of Act Of War from the Sean Tarry yard with Craig Zackey up. If not in need of this outing, she should give a good account of herself.
