Vaal Race 6 - Racing240 Graduation Plate
GOLDEN OPERATOR (2) Won by 2 1/4L last time around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Jockey K De Melo and trainer Sean Tarry link well together. Could prove hard to beat. ECHO CHECK (4) Underperformed when 13th last start here. Should improve from the last run and drawn nicely. Has early speed and positions nicely. Blaine Marx Jacobson consistently performs well for this stable. Warrants a bet. KING HARALD (1) Finished 4th last start at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely to get back. Dropping in distance. Has scope so do not ignore. STORM BRASCO (5) Below expectations when 7th last time here and down in distance. Likely to get back in the field. One for the exotics punters.

Nice effort when winning by 2 1/4L last time here and getting better in recent performances. K De Melo and Sean Tarry must be respected together. Expect a bold effort.

Fresh after a break. At $81.00 came in 6th last start at Turffontein and back to a shorter trip. Likely to get back in the run. Hard to have.

Jumped at $4.50 and disappointing display when 13th last start here. Should improve from the last run and gets a favourable stall. Will have to carry extra weight. Very tidy performer.

Average performance when 7th last time here and back in trip. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Has to have a lot go its way.

At $9.00 close to a win last start around here and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Does take a while to get into stride. This one has a big task.
