Vaal Race 3 - Betway Maiden Plate
ALONE TIME (2) has run two fair races to date. The son of Willow Magic is a progressive type and in this field, he has place claims. MIZZEN SWORD (10) showed good improvement in his last start over 1100m on this course when resuming from a spell. He lost a length leaving the start and stayed on well to finish fourth of seven. If getting away to a clean start, he should be figuring in the finish. ANTONIO GAUDI (5) is yet to break through after five starts but looks not far off a win. Placed two back then finished fifth of nine last time out over 1100m at this track. Best figures stack up well and looks well placed to get off the mark. BAD MEDICINE (7) resumes from a spell. Closed the last prep with a seventh over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Leading player on best figures and a bold showing expected.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start 5th of 9 at this track on July 23 over 1100m, 5 len behind Blaze A Way with 60kg at $9. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on July 11 over 1000m, 5 len behind Watchman with 60kg at $7.50. Capable of more – worth another chance.
