Vaal Race 2 - Www.tab4racing.com Maiden Plate

BAD MEDICINE (6) was reported to be fatigued after his last outing over this distance at Turffontein. He is coming along the right way and in this field, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. CASUS BELLI (7) is better than his last start run over 1450m on this course would suggest. Is up in journey today and is expected to go close. THE MERCIFUL (2) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2000m at Turffontein Standside, finishing 9 lengths back in seventh. Likely improver with top-three prospects. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (5) was reported to be not striding out last time and is better than the run suggests. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and if this run has not come too soon, he should feature.
