Vaal Race 2 - 4Racing App Work Riders Maiden Plate
BUFFALO KING CODY (7) brings the most consistent recent form, having finished 2nd at Scottsville over 1000m and also runner-up at Vaal two starts back. SECOND TO NUNN (3) was 3rd at Vaal last start over this trip, beaten 4.5L, and looks a key chance. HAMMER BLOW (1) has placed at this distance and was 3rd at Turffontein two runs ago. GUNBOAT (2) was 3rd at Vaal last start but in a small field. MFULATHELA (8) has been around the mark in recent runs without placing. Buffalo King Cody (7), Second To Nunn (3), and Hammer Blow (1) appeal most on recent efforts.

Last start finished 8th of 10 at Turffontein over 1399m on 19 Apr, beaten 90.06L with 60kg at $251 behind Best Candidate. Drops back sharply in trip after a string of unplaced runs, including 10th at Greyville two back. Yet to place from six starts. Needs to lift but draws barrier 1 and can improve with the distance drop.

Two-year-old colt by Futura out of Jackie O makes his debut for Brett Webber. Draws barrier 2 with Tshepiso Matsoele aboard. Monitor for any market support on debut. Not without hope.
