Vaal Race 3

Racing Today Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Prize Money: $8,846

STAGGERWING (9) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1000m in Listed grade at Turffontein Standside. Was close to a win before a break. Expected to run well. RUBY WHISPER (7) is a nine-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and is sure to play a big role. MOLTEN ROCK (4) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 1.75 lengths. Worth including. MINERVA FAE (3) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Candice Tammy Dawson. By What A Winter from Minona. Worth watching for a betting push.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 7th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 14 over 1000m, 6 len behind Love Not War carrying 60kg at $7.50. Second-up 4th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on April 12 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Ushouldbedancing carrying 60kg at $9. Much improved race at second outing. Should be right in the finish.

At the latest run 5th of 11 at Greyville All Weather on May 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind Wedding Vow with 57.5kg at $13.50. The race before that ran last in a small field at this track on March 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Moana carrying 57kg at $26. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Turffontein Standside on May 10 over 1000m, 10 len behind Haute Couture carrying 57.5kg at $7.50. Before that 2nd of 7 at this track on April 23 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Western Mirage carrying 60kg at $3. Long overdue. Has the ability to be in the finish.
