Vaal Race 6

6F Stakes

Prize Money: AUD $6,922

MIA MOO (7) stayed on well when finishing second of eight last time. She will love the drop to 1200m and she can go one better. MOUNT PILATUS (2) ran a good race when fourth of seven last time. He won his only attempt over this course and distance and should be returning to form. CHASING HAPPINESS (8) stayed on well when finishing fourth over 1160m at Turffontein last time when resuming from a spell. She will strip a much fitter horse today and must be included in all bets. BEAMONESQUE (3) was super-impressive when winning his maiden at the second time of asking. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. Fresh-up and jumping from a good draw of three rates highly.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Freshened for 40 days. First-up 10th of 12 at Turffontein Standside on March 16 over 1400m, 17 len behind Texas Red with 50kg at $76. Last start second last of 8 at Turffontein Inside on March 30 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Zinovi carrying 54.0kg at $41. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since winning to post a big 7 len win. Turffontein Inside October 14 over 1200m defeating Justcantgetenough with 60kg at $1.50. On debut third of 11 at Scottsville August 13 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Sovereign State carrying 58kg at $13.50. Look for a bold run.
