Turffontein Race 3 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Mr 86 Hcp

MRS STORMIATRIX (1) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at Turffontein Inside. Has a strong record at this journey with three wins and a placing from six starts and is a leading contender. PIVOTAL ROLE (2) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at Vaal. Expect him to play a major role. LONELY AS A CLOUD (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Vaal, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run. BANYAN (5) resumes and did win fresh-up last time in. Have to include.
