Turffontein Race 4 - Racing240 Maiden Plate
GREEN STREET (6) set the pace over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. She returns from a 10-week spell which may have done her the world of good. If not in need of the outing, she should give the males a decent run for their money. ICHACHA (1) has been costly to follow. He is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be fatigued. Returns from a spell. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. SHAMOON (7) stayed on well when coming from last at the turn to finish third of nine over 1200m on the Inside course last time. She has scope and may have more to come. GLOBAL ZEE (2) is lightly raced with moderate form lines to his credit. He steps up to 1400m and if not in need of the run, he can improve to finish in the placings.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 9 at Turffontein Inside on March 13 over 1200m, 18 len behind Espinoza with 60kg at $81. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
