Vaal Race 8

Next Vaal Racemeeting Tuesday 31 March Fm 79 Divided Handicap (F & M)

Prize Money: $8,846

AZALEAS FOR ALL (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 35 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Back in grade. Goes well course and distance and this is well within her grasp. FALCONFLY (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 1800m at Turffontein Inside. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from five runs. Sure to go well again. SPECIAL STAR (3) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 2000m at Turffontein Standside, finishing 9 lengths back in seventh. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. PEARL IN HER CROWN (5) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1600m at Greyville All Weather, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.

At the latest run 7th of 14 at Turffontein Inside on March 12 over 1450m, slow going 3.5 len behind Sunset Warrior carrying 61kg at $26. The run before that 9th of 12 at this track on February 10 over 1450m, 8 len behind Pearl In Her Crown with 61kg at $11. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
