Vaal Race 2

Youcanbetonus! Mdn Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Prize Money: $9,021

BE THE ONE (1) has taken on winners in both career starts and showed improvement when fifth over 1200m here last time. That form has been franked since, and she looks well placed dropping into maiden company. IMPRESSIVE (5) has been competitive in her recent outings and returns to the Highveld with claims in a race of this nature. TREX ON FIRE (12) has shown ability in two starts, leading over 1600m last time before being run down late. With further improvement expected and Gavin Lerena aboard, she can give a bold sight. GO FOR BROKE (4) is an unraced daughter of Querari from the Lucky Houdalakis stable. Well related and with Craig Zackey engaged, she warrants close market attention on debut.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, 6th of 10 at Turffontein Standside on May 10 over 1160m, 8 len behind Flower Island carrying 60kg at $67. Second-up 5th of 8 at this track on May 28 over 1200m, 4 len behind Arrogance with 55kg at $34. Cannot be taken lightly.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 12 at Greyville on May 30 over 1400m, 3 len behind Coast Of The Sun carrying 57kg at $3.80. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Turffontein Standside on May 16 over 1160m, 2.25 len behind Perfect Sky with 60kg at $4.50. Not far from winner at her last appearance and rates highly.
