Turffontein Race 4 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Novice Handicap
HEMISPHERE (3) stayed on well when second over this course and distance last time. He should have finished closer to the winner as he hung inwards over the final 200m. Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. CONSTELLATION (4) won his maiden race last start over this distance at the Vaal, easier than the official margin suggests. He takes on stronger rivals but has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. IT'S PERSONA (2) has won once and finished third once from four starts over this distance. The cheekpieces have been fitted which may do the trick. Rates well as an each-way chance. SEA WOLF (1) resumes from a spell after finishing last of 10 over 1000m at Turffontein Inside last time out. Fresh-up and jumping from an inside draw can place. Something for the Multiples: IT'S PERSONAL (2)
