Vaal Race 2 - 6F Stakes
LITTLE BALLERINA (1) won a game race in her last start over 1160m. She is the class horse in this race and she should prove hard to beat. IT'S HER WAY (3) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in a tougher race over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Likely to push forward and race up on the pace. Has each-way claims. KINDRED HEART (4) won a game race in her last start over 1000m on the Classic course when well supported. She takes on a competitive field but is a progressive type and should give a good account of herself. GREEN SAPPHIRE (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Gimmethegreenlight from Sapphire Gem who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Well worth a second look.

Group 2 winner. Form hard to fault. Resumes off a 33 day let-up. Last start won by 0.8 len at Turffontein Standside G2 The Fillies Nursery April 6 over 1160m defeating Just Reckless carrying 60kg at $8. The start before that 3rd of 12 at Kenilworth in G3 on February 24 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind One Stripe carrying 57.5kg at $21. Great chance to win again.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on April 9 over 1000m, 4 len behind Peace Of Mind carrying 58kg at $5.50. The race before that in a small field at Turffontein Standside on March 2 over 1000m, 24 len behind Almond Sea with 58kg at $26. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Useful type. Resumes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at Turffontein Standside in the G2 The Fillies Nursery on April 6 over 1160m, 10 len behind Little Ballerina carrying 60kg at $126. The start before that 3rd of 7 at Turffontein Inside on March 14 over 1200m, 4 len behind Miss Scaletta carrying 60kg at $3.50. No threat last start but is capable of better.
