Last season’s SA Fillies Nursery winner Basadi Faith carries top weight in today’s Turffontein feature, the Sophomore 1000.
The dual stakes winning daughter of Master Of My Fate has not run for 29 weeks since suffering an epistaxis in the Gr1 Allan Robertson Championship at Scottsville. Basadi Faith was unbeaten in four starts at that time.
