Vaal Race 1

4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate

Stake: $12,478

IDEAL SUMMER (3) made natural improvement when second over 1600m at Turffontein last time. He stayed on well at the finish, but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and with luck in running can go one better. ETHICAL (5) was in need of her debut effort run over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. She would have come on from the run and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may pose a threat. BOLD ACTION (4) ran a fair race over 1200m on the Classic course last time. She is bred to enjoy the rise to 1700m. S'manga Khumalo is booked to ride and she should have improvement to come. LADY NOIR (8) ran an improved race when finishing midfield last start at Turffontein Standside when sent out at long odds. Looks suited and is worth including.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 29 over 1600m, 39 len behind Whispering Death with 57kg at $101. Can do better. Strong chance in this line-up.

Resuming after a four months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Turffontein Standside December 16 over 800m, 19 len behind Caroline Island carrying 60kg at $41. On debut tenth of 13 at Turffontein Standside November 30 over 800m, 12 len behind Glastonbury carrying 57.5kg at $51. Capable of a big run.

The run before that ran last of 8 at Turffontein Standside on March 8 over 1160m, 20 len behind King Harald with 57kg at $151. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
