Randjesfontein trainer Sean Tarry continued his feature winning form from Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday when he saddled 1-2 in the R150 000 Highveld Winter Fillies Juvenile Stakes at Turffontein on Sunday.
In a field of only six starters, it was Kabelo Matsunyane who produced the goods when he unleashed the 66-1 shot Princess Keira late in the race to beat stablemate Alta Capitana (9-2) by 0,30 lengths in a time of 87,07 secs for the 1400m.

Impressive debut winner Rachel Wall (11-10), who races in the same silks as the winner out of the Peter stable, was prominent for a long way, but had no answers and was beaten a further length back in third.
Princess Keira paid R38-40 a win, and R9-70 a place.
A R600 000 National Yearling Sale purchase, Princess Keira was bred by Big Sky Ranch and is a daughter of SA champion freshman sire One World (Captain Al) out of the one-time winning Kahal mare, Princess Stephanie.
Now a one-time winner from her 5 starts with a place included, she took her stakes to R105 313, and also banked a R100 000 BSA Juvenile winner bonus for her owners.
