GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)    

Pass The Baton, Ice Cap and Cartagena to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. WILLY MEET AGAIN (13) will find this a little easier than her second on debut over 1000m at Turffontein Inside last start. Sure to take a lot from that run so she should be in the finish again. CAT O'CLOCK (7) finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Scottsville. Won't find this as tough so she is likely to play a big role. GREEN LIGHTNING (9) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1000m. M K Katjedi has registered three minor placings when on board. Should be involved in the finish. SOMEDAY MAYBE (5) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 1000m at this track on May 28. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can finish in the money.
