PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1450m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 28)    

Plenty of pace established by Night Skizzle, Lookout Mountain and Willow Charm, with Nebraska close at hand. NIGHT SKIZZLE (10) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Has plenty of upside so a big run is anticipated. SHOREYBOMBA (2) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Turffontein Inside over 1450m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. WILLOW CHARM (4) finished 4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Turffontein Inside a week ago. Steps up in distance today. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. BEACH WALKER (1) finished second last time over 1000m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Should be about the money.
