Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate
RUBY WHISPER (8) sets the standard after a close 2nd at Turffontein over 1000m last start, beaten 0.91L, and has multiple 1000m placings this prep. CRIMSON CLOVER (1) drops back to 1000m and was 5th here over 1160m two back, 6.05L off the winner. The debutants DROGAN (2), HAUTE COUTURE (3), KWAITO (4), PROWLER (5), TIME TO FIRE (6) and RAFEEF'S QUEEN (7) add early speed interest, but race fitness and proven 1000m form give Ruby Whisper the edge.
