Vaal Race 3 - SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate
HAMMER BLOW (1) Placed 3rd last time at Turffontein. Has plenty of early speed. Cannot underestimate. SOSORU (7) In the money when 2nd last run at Turffontein. Likely to be well placed early. Expect to go close. SCORPIO (2) Below par when 6th last time at Turffontein. Shows good early pace. Each way prospects. ELEGANT EDGE (8) Average effort when 5th last run at this venue. Large claim helps. Good prospect for the exotics at least.

Was $7.00 and underperformed when 6th last time at Turffontein. Should come to hand quickly. Value selection.

Jumped at $41.00 and unimpressive effort when 8th last start at Turffontein but gets the perfect stall. Dropping back to a shorter trip. This one has a big task.

Started $81.00 and tailed off when 10th last time at Turffontein. A 8 start maiden. Others make far more appeal.

Below standard effort when 4th last run at Turffontein but has a positive stall. Gets back and needs luck. Rises in weight. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

At $9.50 just average when 9th last start at Turffontein. Jockey K De Melo and trainer Sean Tarry are usually competitive when they team up. Slim hope.
