She followed up her debut victory with a third-place finish over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. She is 7kgs better off at the weights with Ringa Ringa Roses who beat her last time. The daughter of Erik The Red will enjoy the rise to 1600m, and we are hoping that she bounces back to winning ways.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Is 7kgs better off at the weights with number 3 on latest.
