Vaal Race 5 - Youcanbetonus! Pinnacle Stakes

Good race but sticking with the class of DYCE (1). Already a Grade 1 winner who goes very well here and has won 2/4 when fresh. Big weight but leading rider aboard and should go close if anywhere near best. MOUNT PINATUBO (5) is a progressive type with four wins and four minors from just 10 tries. Has a good record fresh and loves the trip. Expected to feature. TRUTH (2) is also resuming. Started last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Grade 3 winner over 1100m. Goes well fresh and over this trip will give a start but rattle home. KARATE KID (12) is going well with four minor placings from four starts this time in work. Deserves a win and can feature in the finish again.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 47-day let-up. At the latest run won by a neck at Turffontein Inside August 23 over 1000m defeating Karate Kid with 62kg at $7. Before that 2nd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on August 2 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Quantum Theory carrying 52kg at $67. This tougher but is a six time winner at the trip and drops hugely in the weights for this.
