Vaal Race 8

Next Vaal Racemeeting Thursday 25 September Fm 78 Divided Handicap (F & M)

Prize Money: $8,425

VERSACE ONTHETRACK (1) is a talented filly who has been in the money in all three starts. Is at the races for the first time since she was successful over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last start. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. MALIBU (2) resumes after a break of five months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Solid each-way chance. RED AMBER (6) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1450m at this track. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. MAVERICK QUEEN (7) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expecting a big run this time.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation fourth in a small field at Turffontein Standside in the G3 April 26 over 1100m, 5 len behind One Fine Winter carrying 58kg at $5. On debut to post a big 6 len win. Turffontein Inside March 27 over 1000m defeating Red Caramel carrying 60kg at $2.30. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Returns from a 49-day let-up. Last start 6th of 9 at this track on July 31 over 1450m, 7 len behind Saigon Suzie carrying 57.5kg at $6. Before that 5th of 12 at Greyville All Weather on July 5 over 1200m, 2 len behind Rugger Lover with 59.5kg at $4.50. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 11 at this track on July 24 over 1450m, 2 len behind Northern Kitten carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Turffontein Standside on July 6 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Chieftain's Shield carrying 56kg at $4.50. Everything points towards a big run.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by a head at Turffontein Inside September 6 over 1200m defeating Time For Charity with 59.5kg at $7. The start before that 4th of 8 at this track on August 28 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind In The Ether with 54.5kg at $21. Should go well in this line up.

At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on August 28 over 1000m, neck behind In The Ether carrying 54.5kg at $3.80. The run before that 5th of 10 at this track on August 7 over 1000m, 6 len behind Sea Wolf carrying 52.0kg at $13.50. Worth plenty of thought.
