Vaal Race 3 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate
DEAR DOC (4) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Turffontein Standside over 1160m. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. NIGHTSHINE (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 7 lengths into second over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. COVER CHARGE (2) is a superbly bred two-year-old colt on debut. By Erik The Red from Congestion Charge who has produced some fine gallopers, including two-time Grade 1 winner Yulong Prince. Key runner likely to measure up. EHHFIFTEENKJOE (5) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.

Two-year-old colt (Erik The Red - Congestion Charge) making his debut. From a huge family of winners including two time Grade 1 winner Yulong Prince. Key runner likely to measure up.

Second-up. First-up after two months 4th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 14 over 1160m, 5 len behind Prayersandpromises carrying 60kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Turffontein Standside on December 7 over 800m, 3.5 len behind Status Symbol with 60kg at $34. Improver with winning prospects.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 7 over 1000m, 19 len behind World Attraction carrying 60kg at $67. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 2nd of 8 at this track on January 24 over 1200m, 2 len behind Gimme A Vodka with 57.5kg at $51. Second-up 2nd of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 7 over 1000m, 7 len behind World Attraction carrying 58.6kg at $5. Found one better last time and is overdue for a win. Should be right in the finish.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 6th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 7 over 1000m, 12 len behind World Attraction with 60kg at $101. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.
