Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Plate (F & M)
UP THE ANTE (8) showed very good improvement when fourth over 1160m at Turffontein last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She will strip much fitter and she should have more to come. MAVERICK QUEEN (7) has produced two decent efforts to date. She has plenty of scope and is one of the leading contenders. TIPPERARY (1) is better than her last start run over 1160m at Turffontein would suggest. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be involved in the fight to the finish. DUCHESS OF SEVILLE (3) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
