Races ARB Vaal - SAF

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Last start favourite; scored a big 7 len win at Vaal February 24 over 1450m defeating Highway Code carrying 60kg at $3.50. The start before that 3rd of 9 at this track on February 14 over 1160m, 3.5 len behind Prayersandpromises with 60kg at $11. Far too good latest scoring a huge win. Can go on with it.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, second last in a small field at this track on January 11 over 1000m, neck behind Spirit Of Gabz carrying 55kg at $4.30. Last start favourite; won by a neck at this track February 14 over 1160m defeating Sherlock Holmes carrying 60kg at $1.50. Promising colt who scored a determined win at second outing. Has upside. Sure to go well.

Second-up ran last of 8 at Vaal on March 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 16 len behind The Bronx Bull carrying 60kg at $67. Will not find this easy.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd of 8 at Vaal on February 24 over 1450m, 7 len behind Dear Doc with 60kg at $5. No match for the winner but should be much improved. Capable of a strong run again.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Rafeef out of Estelle. Key runner expected to measure up.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Turffontein Inside on March 12 over 1450m, 0.5 len behind Lone Horizon with 60kg at $9. The run before that 5th of 8 at Vaal on February 24 over 1450m, 9 len behind Dear Doc with 60kg at $13.50. Doesn’t need to improve much to play a big role.
