RED MAPLE (5) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 2000m at Vaal. Likely to be there at the finish again.

The start before that 4th of 10 at Turffontein Inside on November 12 over 1450m, 3.5 len behind Savannah Storm carrying 58kg at $34. Better off avoiding.
