Turffontein Race 3 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Juvenile Plate
COVER CHARGE (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1450m at Vaal when third, beaten 8 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he should pay to follow. GREAT RIFT VALLEY (3) is a son of Malmoos from the Group 3 winner Chitengo who makes his debut. Profiles nicely for this and bold showing expected. EHHFIFTEENKJOE (2) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1450m at Vaal last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fourth at Turffontein Standside the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PARACHUTE ADAMS (5) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1450m at Vaal. Ready to make his presence felt.
