Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
RIVERA (8) Tidy run when 2nd last time around here and was on debut last time. Should jump out and bowl along. K De Melo is an advantage. Must be considered. LIGHTINTHEWOODS (5) First up and amongst the placegetters when 2nd first up last preparation around here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Expect to go close. AMADIOO (1) First start at the races 3yo by The United States for trainer Mano Pandaram. Watch the market. ARABELLA FIGG (2) Placed 3rd last run at this track and having second career run. Won't be far away during the run. Can save some energy from the draw. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

Mano Pandaram trained 3yo by The United States on debut. Betting is the best guide.

Did well when 3rd last run here and was a debutant last start. Has plenty of early speed. Will appreciate a good draw. Has to cope with a weight increase. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

Started at $51.00 and finished 7th last time at the track. Does take a while to get into stride. Making up the numbers.

Was $81.00 and not up to scratch when 7th last run at Vaal but will try to take advantage of the draw. Others are more appealing.

First up and was competitive when 2nd first up last preparation here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Should put in a decent effort.

Was $21.00 and subpar when 6th last time at this track but fitter for debut run. Prefer a race with softer competition.

At $81.00 came in 5th last time at Vaal. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
