1160m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
2 – Amandla Ngawethu – SCRATCHED (Under Veterinary Advice)
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Cape Floral by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Piere Strydom
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He has been disappointing in his last two starts. Piere Strydom phoned for the ride and he is drawn on the outside of the track which is a big plus. We are hoping to see a form return from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Better than latest. Has claims on fair previous form.

Race 3 – 12:45
1160m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
3 – Old Fashioned
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Cuvee Brut by Count Dubois (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was disappointing in his last start over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. His three starts prior to that effort were good. The son of Canford Cliffs steps up to 1200m and if he doesn’t do too much in the early stages, he should have a say.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Better than moderate latest. Back on Highveld and can go close.

Race 10 – 16:55
1000m – Next Turffontein Race Meeting Saturday 17 May MR 76 Handicap (F & M)
9 – Happy Wives
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Three Blue Cranes by Captain Al
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 13 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She is much better than her post maiden effort over 1200m at the Vaal. The daughter of Canford Cliffs will be taken down to the start with a lead pony which should keep her calm. She drops to 1000m and we are hoping to see improvement under SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:74. Better than latest. Chance if reproducing her Cape form.
