GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 31)    

The speedy trio Spirit In The Wind, Pass The Baton and Shes Everything can establish a strong tempo despite the small field. SHES EVERYTHING (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1800m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. INSTANT ATTRACTION (4) turned in a strong run last time when third at this track just nine days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Nice run last time and is a definite winning chance. LUNAR RAINBOW (5) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 2000m at Turffontein Standside. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SPIRIT IN THE WIND (1) is a four-year-old filly yet to find the frame after 11 runs. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1600m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Don't underestimate.
