Turffontein Race 2 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
WINDS OF CHANGE (1) is the highest-rated maiden in South Africa. He was not disgraced when fifth in the Grade 2 Durban Golden Horseshoe last time. He returns from a spell and has Gavin Lerena in the saddle. On top in this company. PAUL REVERE (4) has been thereabouts in 2 runs this prep. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. He should figure in the top 3 this time. KWAGGA BLITZ (3) finished 1 length behind the second choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them at the finish. RING A LING (10) has run two fair races to date. She would have come on from her last outing and should strip much fitter. Muzi Yeni takes the ride and the pair merit healthy respect.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th in a small field at this track on December 12 2023 over 800m, 4.5 len behind Famous Lady carrying 60kg at $3.30. Returned from break 5th of 10 at this track on December 28 over 1160m, 3.5 len behind Green Sapphire with 60kg at $15. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
