Vaal Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
BLOW MY TOP (2) Sean Tarry trained 3yo by Erupt having first start and has a positive draw. K De Melo rates highly. Watch betting. IMPRESSIVE (5) Came in 4th last time at Greyville. Capable of bouncing back and solid career start. In top form since resuming from a break. Must respect. EIRINI (3) James Crawford trained 3yo by Futura having first race start. Keep your eye on the market. TREX ON FIRE (12) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Turffontein but has to cope with a weight increase. Gavin Lerena and Robyn Klaasen are a promising combination. Serious player.

Jumped at $41.00 and ran 5th last time at this venue and rising in weight. Hard to see this being competitive today.

First time at the races 3yo by Erupt for Sean Tarry and drawn nicely. K De Melo is a pivotal booking. Respect the betting.

Started at $9.50 and ran 5th last time at Turffontein but was a debutant last start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has the ideal stall. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Odds of $26.00 and lacklustre showing when 14th last start at the track and going up in weight. Gets back and needs luck. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

At $17.00 subpar when 5th last start at this venue but having second career run. Might be ridden for luck. Hard to see it being good enough.

Ran well when 3rd last time at Turffontein but goes up in weight. Jockey Gavin Lerena and trainer Robyn Klaasen have enjoyed a lot of success together. Good chance and definitely has claims.
