Future Gamble

J: C Murray

T: J Crawford

Had two of these rivals behind her at Turffontein last month when going down narrowly in a maiden plate; has shown some recent improvement and seems to be going the right way; if she is able to build on her most recent effort then hard to dismiss.

This is not a race for maximum stakes but it can pay to side with LANTERI. Future Gamble and Villarrica could go close, and Miraculous Moment is capable of better.
