Vaal Race 2 - Www.tab.co.za Mdn Juvenile Plate
TENAREEF (9) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Greyville. Will be positive in the run early. K De Melo is an advantage. Deserves consideration. CAPTAIN COOPER (1) Below par performance when 12th last run at the track and back in trip. Gavin Lerena and Phillip Labuschagne are a strong team. Genuine winning chance. MOCHA MAGIC (5) 3yo by Rafeef having first race start for trainer Paul Matchett. Watch the betting. REACHINGFORTHEMOON (7) Robyn Klaasen trained 3yo by Horizon on debut and drawn beautifully. Watch early betting.

Was $5.00 and moderate showing when 12th last run around here and dropping back to a shorter trip. Jockey Gavin Lerena is in top form for this stable. Definite claims for punters.

Fresh today after a break. Odds of $67.00 and not up to scratch when 11th last run here but gets a favourable draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Not interested.

In the money when 3rd last start at Greyville. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey K De Melo is a bonus. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.
