Turffontein Race 3 - SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate
MAJOR ARCANA (2) Did well when 2nd last run at this track and promising career start. Does take a while to get into stride. Top prospects against this opposition. BRIGITTE ANNE (7) Back after spell. Narrowly denied victory last time at Vaal and gets a favourable draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will go well. WISPINTHEWILLOW (9) Looked flat when 5th last start at Vaal. Jockey Blaine Marx Jacobson and trainer Tony Peter are a combination worth following. Large claim helps. One for the each way players. VELVET VALOUR (6) Back from a 52 week break. Finished 6th last run at Fairview. Should be going forward early. First race for a new trainer. Must respect in this event.

Was $11.00 and looked flat when 4th last run at Vaal and back to a shorter trip. Could be in the mix.

Competitive effort when 2nd last run at the track and good career start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Has drawn the rails. Gets a solid chance here.

Odds of $51.00 and not up to scratch when 12th last start at Vaal. Might be ridden for luck. Cannot have in this race.

First up after a 52 week break. Started $11.00 and ran 6th last run at Fairview. Change in trainer. Has early speed and positions nicely. Strong contender.

Was $5.50 and basic showing when 5th last start at Vaal. Blaine Marx Jacobson is in good form for this stable. The large claim from Blaine Marx Jacobson should help. One of the punters top hopes.
