Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Juvenile Plate
INDECENT OBSESSION (4) Nice effort when winning by 2L last time at Vaal and solid career start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will be in the finish. APPARITION (3) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 1/2L last start around here and having second race start. Jockey K De Melo rates highly and gets the perfect draw. Can go on with it. QUEEN LEILA (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this venue but will be dropping in distance. Should jump out and bowl along. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PROUD MARY (6) First up from a break of 16 weeks and was competitive when 2nd first up last preparation at Vaal. Coming back in distance. One of the hopes.

Started $41.00 and tailed off when 11th last start at Greyville but up against a less challenging field. Displays good tactical speed. Promising career start. Hard to recommend.

Ran well when 2nd last start here but down in distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Producing consistent results this campaign. Strong contender.

Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last start at this venue and was a debutant last start. K De Melo is a suitable booking. Has the ratings to win this.

Displayed potential when winning by 2L last time at Vaal and putting a tidy record together so far. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Will be fighting out the finish.

Paul Matchett trained 3yo by Rafeef having first race appearance and can find a nice position from the draw. Keep your eye on the market.
