Vaal Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate
SHERLOCK HOLMES (12) Right up there last run at Turffontein. Won't be far away during the run. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Rates well in this race.

Started $23.00 and subpar when 9th last run at Turffontein but fitter for debut run. This won't be easy.

Was $41.00 and mediocre display when 9th last start at Turffontein but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the run. Long shot.

Jumped at $67.00 and disappointing outing when 5th last start at Turffontein but having second career run. Unlikely to go close.

3yo debutant by Malmoos for Corne Spies and has a nice advantage with a good stall. Watch for a sign in the market.

Resumes after a break. Jumped at $26.00 and was nothing special when 6th last time at Turffontein but having second race start. Displays good tactical speed. Questions at this level.

Just short of the win last run at Turffontein. Likely to be well placed early. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Will be fighting out the finish.
