Vaal Race 3 - Tab 4racing App Mdn Juvenile Plate
RAPTOR KING (10) Placed 3rd last start at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts. K De Melo is a suitable booking. Will be around the mark at odds. TROJAN HORSE (13) 3yo runner on debut by Malmoos for Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock. Gavin Lerena is a key booking. Watch the betting. DUKE OF LORRAINE (3) Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock 3yo first starter by Rafeef. Watch the market moves. HIGH FIDELITY (6) Did well when 3rd last time at Turffontein and was a debutant last start. Should be going forward early. Will try to take advantage of the stall. Stays under notice.

Was $15.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last time at Turffontein and will have to carry extra weight. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Place claims.

Back from a break. Jumped at $41.00 and disappointing run when 8th last run here but having second race start. Will struggle to compete in this race.

At $34.00 below par when 11th last run at Turffontein but having second career run. Hard to entertain.

Odds of $41.00 and finished 4th last start at Turffontein. Will be positive in the run early. The large claim from Anaas Mosaheb should help. Not in this.

Honest race when 3rd last start at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. More confidence with jockey K De Melo guiding the horse. Solid chance.
