Turffontein Race 2 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
GREAT NOTION (6) has consistent form lines to her credit, having placed in all of her last five starts. She received a check leaving the start over 1160m last time but stayed on well to finish third of nine. She steps back up to 1400m and she may be rewarded for consistency. GIMME A STORM (5) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fourth of eight in the same race as the top selection. Should improve on that last start run and has each-way claims. DYLAN'S CHAMP (2) has finished second in his last four starts. He tried hard over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course last time and was only a neck away from the winner at the line. Well overdue a winning turn. GREEN STREET (8) is better than her last start run would suggest. If finding the form of her debut effort when finishing second of 14 over 1200m at Vaal can figure in the finish.
