Races ARB Vaal - SAF

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Not raced for 40 days. First-up favourite; scored a big 5.5 len win at Turffontein Inside August 17 over 1600m defeating Special Star carrying 60kg at $1.60. Second-up 4th of 8 at Turffontein Inside on October 11 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Dylan's Champ with 56.5kg at $1.90. First try this trip but back in grade. Expected to go very well.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 12 at this track on October 14 over 2400m, 13 len behind Arlington Action carrying 56kg at $15. Before that second last of 10 at Turffontein Inside on September 28 over 2000m, 10 len behind Kissing Machine with 55kg at $101. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Freshened for 37 days. Resuming 2nd of 10 at this track on September 18 over 1700m, 0.6 len behind Nkwenkwezi carrying 57kg at $3.30. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 2.25 len at this track October 14 over 1800m defeating Councillor with 57kg at $2.30. Off the mark with an effortless win latest and looks suited by the extra furlong this time.

Second-up. First-up after four months 8th of 10 at Turffontein Standside in the G3 Starling Stakes on November 1 over 1400m, 5 len behind Valentina Balducci with 59kg at $101. Previously second-up won by a neck at Turffontein Standside July 12 over 1160m defeating Iconic Winter with 57kg at $7. Resumed in stakes class and not disgraced. Fitter again, back in grade and up in trip. Looks a sharp improver.

Third-up today. Not raced for 42 days. First-up ran last of 8 at this track on September 25 over 1600m, slow going 22 len behind Oklahoma Twister with 58.5kg at $21. Second run from a spell second last of 9 at this track on October 9 over 1800m, 8 len behind Artic Silver with 54kg at $21. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Last start second last of 13 at this track on October 23 over 2000m, 10 len behind Chabal carrying 59kg at $13.50. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track on October 9 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Artic Silver carrying 52.5kg at $6.50. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 8 at Turffontein Standside on October 26 over 2000m, 32 len behind Hazy Dazy with 53.5kg at $11. Last start second last of 12 at this track on November 11 over 1700m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Lady Blunt with 54.5kg at $101. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.75 len at Greyville All Weather October 7 over 1800m defeating Fine Wine carrying 57kg at $4.50. Before that 5th of 13 at this track on August 28 over 1600m, 7 len behind Scarlett Heart with 57kg at $8. Honest filly who broke maiden status last time when leading throughout. Worthy of consideration.

Last start ran last of 13 at this track on October 23 over 2000m, 11 len behind Chabal with 57kg at $13.50. Before that 5th of 9 at this track on October 2 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Michael Faraday with 56kg at $8. Expect improvement on recent effort.

Last start ran last of 10 at Turffontein Inside on November 13 over 2600m, 25 len behind Damova with 50kg at $51. The start before that 11th of 13 at this track on October 23 over 2000m, 7 len behind Chabal carrying 53.5kg at $101. Needs to lift.
