Turffontein Race 2 - 4Racing App Maiden Plate
STORMACT (10) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Vaal. That was a much improved run and looks to have come back well. Strips fitter and can feature. TIGER'S CAPTAIN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at Vaal. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIFE IN COLOUR (8) stepped out on his debut over 1200m at Vaal three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. WILD AS THE WIND (4) is a first-starter by Rafeef from Snug As A Bug who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, second last in a small field at this track on March 14 over 1000m, 11 len behind Slender Silhouette with 60kg at $67. Second-up ran last of 7 at this track on April 4 over 1400m, 13 len behind One Of Those Days carrying 60kg at $126. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
