Vaal Race 3 - Equus Champion Broadcast Media: Chad Karstens Mdn Plate
ROYALE JACKET (1) Finished 2nd last start at Turffontein. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey K De Melo adds value. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. ECHO OF THE WILD (3) On a quick back up. In the money when 3rd last start here and has drawn to do little work. Has the ability to take this out. MIDNIGHT SHOW (4) Unsatisfactory performance when 6th last start at Turffontein. Strong chance. DREAMING OF YOUTH (8) On a short back up. Honest race when 3rd last run at the track. Open to improvement and has a show in this field.

Tidy run when 2nd last start at Turffontein. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. K De Melo is a key booking. Gets a solid chance here.

Backing up quickly for this race. At $29.00 lacklustre showing when 5th last run here. Yet to break through after 27 starts. Lines up against a competitive field.

Started at $6.00 and ordinary performance when 6th last start at Turffontein. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Average effort when 6th last run at Turffontein but can find a nice position from the draw. Might have to make up considerable ground. One for the place and exotics betting.

Backs up quickly. Was $13.00 and mediocre performance when 6th last time at this venue. Tough ask.
