SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   30 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Taking A Risk to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ROCK MUSIC (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at Vaal, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Close to a win and gets chance this time. TAKING A RISK (8) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when second over 1160m at this track. Overdue and should be ninth finish again. EDELSTEEN (4) debuted a week-and-a-half ago when he finished sixth over 1000m at Vaal, beaten 12 lengths. Worth following up. STONEYWOOD (7) has not raced since his debut on October 9 over 1200m at Vaal when he finished ninth, beaten 12 lengths. Gave a sight then weakened on debut. Leading rider aboard. Has solid claims.
