Vaal Race 3 - 1M 1/2F Stakes
SERRANO (6) is progressing nicely this time in work, last time out finishing half a length from the winner in third over 1450m at Turffontein Inside at the third run back from a spell. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Likely to feature. I BELONG (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Turffontein Standside after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOWERS OF GOLD (7) fought on well for third last start over 1100m at Turffontein Standside, making it two minor placings in a row. Another big run is expected. RED LEGEND (4) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race when finishing fourth last time out over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
