Vaal Race 4 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
MIDNIGHT SHOW (2) Ran 4th last time at this track. Should improve from the last run and has the ideal draw. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Looks a worthwhile investment today. IMYOURHUCKLEBERRY (1) Looked good when 3rd last time at this venue. Does take a while to get into stride. Won't be far away. WARTRAX BLAZE (3) Average at best when 7th last run at this venue. Should bounce back. Can win. ONE EYE ON DUBAI (5) Underwhelming when 4th last start at Turffontein but was a debutant last start. Gavin Lerena and Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock are a proven combination. Rising in trip. Genuine winning chance.

At $7.50 below par when 7th last run at the track. Should bounce back. Value selection.

Ran well when 3rd last start at Turffontein and returns to a longer distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Simply cannot have in this.

Started at $4.00 and lacked competitiveness when 4th last start at Turffontein but was on debut last time. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Looks a nice proposition.

At $15.00 uncompetitive when 6th last run at this track. Should come to hand quickly. This won't be easy.
