Durbanville Race 7 - Rcs Two Year Old Sale 25 Oct Class 4

VIVA'S LIBERTE (4) is a promising colt who was strongly fancied on debut and proved far too good with a two length win. Looks suited by the extra ground and has good upside. Worth following in. BLIND DATE (3) was a maiden winner two back then fifth over 1400m last time here and not beaten far. Came from well back and wasn't far from the winner. Better draw this time and winning rider goes back aboard. Can atone. YAMAZAKI (8) had been building to a win and deservedly got off the mark with the maiden win last time. Freshened and can measure up again. CARRIACOU (5) ran a much better race second-up and is fitter again. Among the chances.
