SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   28 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

TAB PRETTY POLLY STAKES 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Expecting a strong tempo from the youngsters. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE (1) is a boom two-year-old filly yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by a long neck over 1160m in the G2 The Fillies Nursery at this track. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. GET UP (3) was less than a length away in third behind her in the Fillies Nursery. Low draw and could well turn the tables with the right run. LANZAROTE (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1000m at Vaal last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Keagan De Melo stays aboard and she is definitely worth including. LOVE NOT WAR (5) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1000m contest at this track last time out by 1.2 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.
