Turffontein Race 6 - Sa Derby 4 April Mr 70 Handicap

GOLDEN ASPEN (7) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in third last start over 1450m at Vaal. Veteran mare racing well and has a solid record here. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside gate. VAVA VEGAS (12) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 7 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at Turffontein Standside a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey today. Craig Zackey has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Well placed and should be in the finish. MATTIAZO (4) is backing up five days after finishing third over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Strong run last time and must go in the numbers. ZOOMBOMBER (13) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten only a neck. Nicely placed to take this out.

The race before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Turffontein Standside February 1 over 1400m defeating Vava Vegas with 57.5kg at $7. Veteran mare racing well and has a solid record here. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside gate.
