Turffontein Race 3 - Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba Maiden Plate (F & M)
WAGRAM (3) showed good improvement fresh-up last start over 1400m on the Standside course. She received a check leaving the start that day and was reported to have a cut on her right fore. She will love the rise to 1600m and she should strip much fitter. Andrew Fortune rides and she may have more to come. AURORA GREEN (7) was disappointing in her last start over this distance in yielding going. Her penultimate run when second over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course was encouraging. She has scope and with luck in the running, she can feature. MATTIAZO (8) has finished fourth in both her efforts to date. The daughter of Silvano has scope and with Gavin Lerena back in the saddle, she can finish in the money. IZANAMI (1) returns from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. She should enjoy the rise to 1600m and if not in need of the run can finish in the placings.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 15 over 1600m, 8 len behind The Mightiest carrying 60kg at $26. The start before that second last of 8 at Vaal on January 30 over 1500m, 9 len behind Ghostbuster with 59kg at $3.30. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.

Last start 4th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on March 15 over 1600m, 10 len behind Apache Chief carrying 57kg at $51. The run before that ran last in a small field at Turffontein Standside on February 15 over 1800m, 38 len behind Spirit In The Wind carrying 60kg at $9. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
