There are nine races on the Turffontein inside track today with the first race off at 13h00.
The Bipot starts in the second race at 13h35.
The false rail is set at 5m on the back straight to 8.5m on the bend with an 8.5m spur at the 500m mark.
Tabnews reports that Green Plains makes her return to racing following 100-day layoff and Sean Tarry’s charge looks set to make a winning comeback in Race 7 at Turffontein on Saturday, a Pinnacle Stakes for fillies and mares over 1200m on the Inside track.
This four-year-old daughter of Gimmethegreenlight has a record of five wins and five places from 14 starts.
Those wins include a victory in the Grade 3 Pretty Polly Stakes as well as the Grade 2 SA Fillies Nursery and Camellia Stakes.
Green Plains
She finished a 1.25-length second behind Brave Mary in the Grade 1 Allan Robertson Championship in 2017 and with those performances to her credit, looks way better than her opposition in this event.
Green Plains has only raced once on the Inside track and that was in a Pinnacle Stakes over 1000m, which she won far more easily than the 0.90-length margin suggests.
The false rail is set at 5m on the back straight to 8.5m on the bend with an 8.5m spur at the 500m mark.
