Vaal Race 9 - Tab 4Racing App Mr 74 Handicap

PIVOTAL ROLE (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1000m at this track at his latest appearance. Has won over this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. BLINDFIRE (2) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1000m at this track nine days ago, getting home by 1.4 lengths. Blaine Marx-Jacobson scored on her last time and retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. INAFIX (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth over 1000m at this track four weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TIGER STORM (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Turffontein Inside over 1000m. In the right race and should be competitive.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 8 at this track on February 10 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind His Lordship carrying 55.5kg at $9. Previously second-up won by 3 len at this track October 2 over 1000m defeating Old Fashioned carrying 59kg at $3. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Last start 5th of 12 at this track on February 24 over 1000m, 5 len behind Blindfire with 53.5kg at $15. Before that won by a neck at Turffontein Inside February 12 over 1000m defeating Zoombomber with 53.5kg at $26. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
