Turffontein Race 4 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate (F & M)
NICOLSON LANDING (1) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 1600m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. MISS RIVER DANCER (5) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1200m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. TAKEACHANCEONME (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MADE TO MEASURE (2) finished 6 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1600m at Turffontein Standside on March 21. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 3rd of 8 at Turffontein Standside on February 14 over 1160m, 3 len behind Traditional Belief carrying 60kg at $9. Second-up 6th of 12 at Vaal on March 5 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Southampton carrying 60kg at $6. Doesn't look good enough to threaten.

Having third race start. At debut, 5th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 7 over 1160m, 4 len behind Detailed Forecast with 60kg at $13.50. Last start 5th of 11 at this track on March 19 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Trip Of Faith carrying 60kg at $4.50. Looks an improver and has the inside and leading rider goes aboard. Big chance.
