Vaal Race 1 - Equus Champion Apprentice: Blaine Marx-Jacobson Mdn Plate
PERIODIC TABLE (1) First up after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. K De Melo is a strong choice aboard. Go well. AUTOGRAPH (3) Backing up quickly for this race. Looked good when 3rd last run in a chase at Vaal. Should be going forward early. Open to improvement and is a strong chance again. TREASURE STATE (7) Fresh after a break of 31 weeks. Was competitive when 3rd last time at this venue. Key player. ELEGANT EDGE (6) Ran 4th last start at Turffontein. May see an upturn in form and gets a favourable draw. Shows good early pace. Good prospects.

On a short turnaround. Jumped at $81.00 and finished 5th last time in a chase at Vaal but drawn the rails. Yet to place in 11 starts. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Backing up quickly. In the money when 3rd last run in a chase at Vaal. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Must respect.

Fresh from a 27 week break. Odds of $7.00 and disappointing outing when 6th last run at Turffontein but fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Others are better.

Odds of $11.00 and came in 4th last start at Turffontein. May see an upturn in form and drawn nicely. Has plenty of early speed. Represents value in this race.
