Vaal Race 3

Racing Today Maiden Plate

Prize Money: $10,110

KING REDOUTE (4) was heavily bet on debut and was green but boxed on okay for fourth. Looks to have plenty of upside and worth following up at second outing. POWER OF TIGER (6) was disappointing as favourite here last time but best form stacks up and change of rider. Can atone. KAMBATI (1) is better than that recent plain performance suggests. Placed only try this trip and worth another chance. MRS STORMIATRIX (5) is on the quick back-up after a solid run fresh. Has pace and looks an improver with definite claims.

Was well-supported at debut, in a small field at this track on January 29 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Rock Music carrying 60kg at $2.30. Was heavily bet on debut and was green but boxed on okay for fourth. Looks to have plenty of upside and worth following up at second outing.

Second-up today. Last outing 5th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 1 over 1160m, 4 len behind Trail Runner carrying 60kg at $7.50. At only start last preparation second last of 9 at Greyville All Weather on October 22 over 1400m, 11 len behind Bella Valentina with 58kg at $5.50. On the quick back-up after a solid run fresh. Has pace and looks an improver with definite claims.

Most recently 5th of 9 at this track on January 29 over 1000m, 6 len behind Varachino's Champ carrying 60kg at $2.50. The race before that 2nd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on January 11 over 1000m, 4 len behind Precocious with 60kg at $11. Disappointing as favourite here last time but best form stacks up and change of rider. Can atone.
