Turffontein Race 5 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
INCLUSION (7) showed good improvement fresh-up from a spell when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Craig Zackey is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and he may be hard to peg back. ART NOUVEAU (10) raced from a handy position over 1400m last time but found one too good on the day. She finished second in her only attempt over this distance. Has each-way claims. NKWENKWEZI (11) raced from a handy position last time and fought on well to finish second of nine over 1600m. She should have no issues with the rise to 1800m and should have a say in the outcome of this contest. FUTURE KING (6) is a two-start maiden who returned from a spell last time and finished fifth of seven at this track over 1400m. Definite top - three claims. Include in exotic bets.
