Turffontein Race 9 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Novice Handicap

SPLITTHEEIGHTS (2) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and expected to measure up again. ANTONIO GAUDI (6) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1200m at Vaal. Sure to give a sight. QUIET WINTER (10) was a most impressive winner last time over 1160m at this track, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Strong claims on best figures. SPY STORY (11) was in the placings again last time when 1.2 lengths adrift in second over 1160m at this track. Long overdue and gets chance.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 10 at Vaal on November 4 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Secret Chord with 58.5kg at $8. Before that 2nd in a small field at Vaal on October 23 over 1200m, neck behind Mister Wilson carrying 55.5kg at $13.50. Overdue for a win and capable of going to the next level.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 45-day let-up. At the latest run won by 3.5 len at this track November 1 over 1160m defeating Wings Of Kildra carrying 59kg at $3.30. The start before that 2nd of 9 at Vaal on September 30 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Lost For Words carrying 58kg at $2.80. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
