Vaal Race 1

GO FOR BROKE (2) sets the standard through exposed form, having placed at two of three and gone within just over half a length at Turffontein Inside before a Vaal third as very short odds-on favourite, with an awkward action noted late. VISION OF GOLD (13) has the sharper upside off a debut third here over 1200m, beaten just over a length after firming in betting, and her family profile adds substance. MULHOLLAND DRIVE (3) has not finished as close lately, but she has been kept safe in open markets and draws to get every chance from barrier two. RESOLUTE BAY (9) is the key debutante, backed by Sean Tarry and Keagan De Melo, with G3-placed Finding Camelot in the family to give her an each-way profile.

Comments

Third-up after two Vaal runs where she was beaten five and a half lengths each time. Last start she finished seventh behind Treasure State after being unwanted in the market, while the debut fifth had a slow start attached. The class drop helps her case, but 60kg and barrier 11 leave her more likely to fight for a minor placing than threaten the main chances.

Comments

Placed at two of three starts and brings the strongest exposed maiden form. She was beaten just over half a length by Elusive Dragon at Turffontein Inside two back, then ran third behind Northern European at Vaal when heavily supported into very short odds-on territory, with an awkward action noted late. Already placed at 1200m and with Craig Zackey aboard, she is the one they have to beat.

Has been respected in the market at her past two starts without quite finishing the job, most recently fifth behind Willow Charm in a MPLTE at Vaal, beaten just over six lengths. The run prior at Scottsville was in 2yo F MPLTE company and she again started near the top of an open market. From barrier two and with a class drop in play, she gets a genuine chance to improve sharply.

Debuts for Sean Tarry as a Declarationofpeace filly from Royal Aspen, with the stable's first-starter record showing 11 wins and 33 placings from 69 runners. The family has depth through Copper Mountain, a G1 runner-up and multiple Group performer. She still begins in the lower confidence bracket, but the pedigree gives her some foundation if she is ready to compete first time out.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing ninth on debut in a 2yo MPLTE over 1000m at Kenilworth, beaten seven lengths by Shezaripper at long odds. She has since moved to Paul Matchett and does have a useful family pointer through Miraculous Moment, a debut placegetter who later won at Turffontein Inside. Barrier 12 and the rise to 1200m temper the view, but she can lift into the placings.

Makes her debut from barrier 13 for Brett Webber, with Jason Gates taking the ride. The Royal Mo filly has some winners in the family, including Seattle Force with six wins and Diana The Huntress with two, but the stable's first-starter record in the supplied figures is yet to produce a placing from seven runners. She looks one likely to benefit from the race-day experience.

Debuts from the inside barrier for Mike and Mathew De Kock, a stable with 12 wins and 28 placings from 65 first-starters in the supplied profile. The Master Of My Fate combination also reads well enough, with nine wins and 20 placings from 43 runners. She has no race form to lean on, but the draw and stable pattern make her a realistic place player first time out.

Steps out for Sean Tarry with Keagan De Melo booked, and that pairing gives this debutante immediate respect. By Danon Platina from Saldanha Bay, she is related to Finding Camelot, who placed in the G3 Langerman over 1500m, and Many Waters, a city winner over 1800m. She may be one for improvement with racing, but her profile is sound enough to be considered among the better newcomers.

Begins for Fabian Habib as an Erik The Red filly from Little Doe. The stable's first-starter figures are respectable at three wins and eight placings from 23, while the trainer-sire combination has placed eight times from 11 runners. Those numbers provide some interest, but from barrier nine she still has to transfer that profile into race performance against runners with stronger claims.

Debuts from barrier three for Tony Peter after making 100000 at the 2025 National Yearling Sale. The stable has placed 17 of 41 first-starters in the supplied figures, which gives her some grounding, and Princess Moey in the family was fifth on debut over 1200m. She is drawn to get every chance, but still shapes as a filly with more to prove than the leading hopes.

Starts out as a Fire Away filly from Natural Tan and the family gives her a genuine point of interest through Sun Blushed, a G2 runner-up over 1200m and multiple city winner. The stable's first-starter record in the supplied data is quiet, with one placing from 15 runners, so the pedigree appeal has to be balanced against a cautious debut profile. She is more a watch-and-assess runner here.

Returns from a four-month break after an encouraging debut third over 1200m at Vaal, beaten just over a length by Summerfest. She firmed near the top of an open market that day, which adds weight to the performance, and she has already placed at both the track and distance. As a half-sister to G1 winner See It Again from a strong De Kock yard, she profiles as a major winning threat fresh.
