Turffontein Race 3 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
QUEEN LEILA (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Settled at the back and kept coming. Well placed to get off the mark this time.THE BACHELORETTE (8) is a filly by William Longsword from the stakes-winner For The Lads on debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. IRISH WILMA (2) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at Vaal four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. MOONFACE (6) is appearing for the first time. By Time Thief and hails from the Fanie Bronkhorst stable. Top-three chance.

At debut, 5th of 9 at Vaal on January 29 over 1000m, 8 len behind Secretary Bird with 60kg at $8.50. Safely held but kept trying on debut and has upside. Plenty to build upon following her debut.

First-starter by William Longsword out of For The Lads. From a good family. Market will go a long way to showcasing her chances.
