Vaal Race 1 - Betway Work Riders Maiden Plate
TIGER STORM (8) has produced two fair runs to date. He lost a length leaving the start last time and stayed on well to finish fourth of 12 as the favourite. He has been gelded since that outing which may have done the trick. He meets the right field and if getting away to a clean start, he should prove hard to beat. REMAINS OF THE DAY (1) resumed from a spell and ran a good race when second over this course and distance last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. If confirming his recent improvement he should be finishing in the money. JOHNNY APPLESEED (7) resumes from a spell after having finished fifth of nine when on debut over 1160m at Turffontein Standside when sent out as the favourite. Improver who fresh-up can feature in the finish. SUMMER SHADE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when finishing third over 1000m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is expected.
