Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
WITHIN REACH (1) Displayed potential when winning by 3/4L last run at Turffontein and having second race start. Jockey K De Melo and trainer Sean Tarry must be respected as a team. Expect a bold showing. PROUD MARY (6) Nice run when 2nd last start at the track and was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Has a positive alley. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. MOANA (4) Finished 2nd last time at Turffontein and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Capable of getting into the money. VERSATILITY (7) Subpar when 6th last run here but facing a rise in trip. Has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Looks a good chance of finishing in the money.

Jumped at $23.00 and only fair when 6th last start at Turffontein but having second race start. Likely to get back in the run. Rising in trip. Better to look elsewhere.

Odds of $26.00 and disappointing outing when 7th last start at Turffontein but racing over extra ground. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Was competitive when 2nd last start at the track and was on debut last time. Expecting to settle positively. Can find a nice position from the draw. Should go well.

Jumped at $9.50 and was nothing special when 6th last run at the track but has drawn the rails. Stepping up in distance. Respect the betting.
