Vaal Race 5 - Wsb New And Improved Classified Stakes

CHABAL (1) Backing up quickly. Was ordinary when 5th last time at Turffontein and rising in weight. Definite claims. CARTAGENA (4) Only fair when 9th last time at the track and hoping that the added weight won't hurt. No shock to see a win. FLAG BEARER (6) Below standard effort when 9th last run here but stepping back up in distance. Likely to be well placed early. Gets the perfect draw. Should go close. ROMEO'S MAGIC (2) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Turffontein. Jockey Gavin Lerena usually performs well for this stable. Can't be left out of trifectas.
