SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   15 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 15)    

Global Zee, Greenlight Racer and Silver Longsword can set the pace. RADIO STAR (10) was touched off on debut over this course and distance. He was slowly into stride, rallied late but was outrun late. He would have gained from the experience. He is drawn widest of all but gets the services of Gavin Lerena who will give him all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. GREENLIGHT RACER (6) finished sixth of 13 last start when resuming from a spell. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. From pole position, he should have more improvement to come. CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD (2) has good recent form lines to his credit. He moved up well last time, before getting outrun late. From his good draw of two, he should be competitive. SILVER LONGSWORD (7) had excuses on debut over 1000m on the Inside course. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie is booked to ride and if not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself.
