Vaal Race 3

Guineas Day 7 February Maiden Plate (F & M)

Stake: $10,261

ANAHITA (2) started favourite last time over 1600m at Turffontein Standside but found a couple better, making it three minor placings from four career starts. Back in journey and will be strong late. Gets her chance to break through. GIMMESUMLUV (9) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Gimmethegreenlight from Passionate Kiss. Leading rider aboard and expected to measure up. EMERALD COUNTESS (5) was no threat last start but is capable of better. Fitter again and can sneak into the finish. SAVARA'S PRINCESS (3) went close last time and doesn't have to improve much to feature again.
