Vaal Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Plate
EPIDAURUS (1) Backs up quickly. Tidy effort when 2nd last time here. Should come to hand quickly. Expect a strong showing. COMIC ARTIST (5) On a short turnaround. Ran 4th last run at this venue. Looking past the last run. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (4) Not up to standard when 4th last run at the track but going over more ground. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. CAPTAIN'S EXPRESS (3) First up after a break. Lacklustre showing when 5th last time at the track but going over extra ground. Will be positive in the run early. Can't be left out of trifectas.

On a quick turnaround. Was competitive when 2nd last time at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. No surprise to see this winning.

Back after a break. Was $13.00 and well beaten when 5th last time at the track but stepping up in distance. Has plenty of early speed. Gets a favourable draw. Place claims.

Odds of $4.33 and tailed off when 4th last run here but racing over extra ground. Strong competitor.

On a short back up. Odds of $17.00 and came in 4th last run here. Looking past the last run. Expected to be competitive.

Odds of $41.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last start at Turffontein but rising in distance. Might be ridden for luck. Can find a nice position from the draw. Very unlikely to cause an upset.
