Vaal Race 4 - Betway Maiden Plate
HAT TRICK OR TREAT (3) set the pace over 1600m on this course last time but found one too good on the day. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and in this field, he should prove hard to roll. ARCTIC OWL (7) is an unraced son of Querari from the Tony Peter stable with Calvin Habib in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, he should give a good account of himself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. EXCEEDINGLY GLAM (10) was in need of her debut effort over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She returns from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. If not in need of this outing, she can finish in the placings. PROLIFIC STAR (9) debuted a month ago when he finished seventh over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
