Turffontein Race 3 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
DESERT CLOUD (10) finished second of eight at long odds when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Racing in a fitter state looks tough to roll. ESPINOZA (1) resumes from a spell after having placed third of 10 over 1000m at Turffontein Standside last start. From his inside draw rates well as a leading chance. AMANATTO (9) returns from a spell and having placed third fresh-up last prep is expected to be finishing in the money. RING A LING (8) is better than her last start run for ninth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside would suggest. Having her third run this prep and in a fitter state can place.
