Vaal Race 10 - Next Vaal Racemeeting Tuesday 27 January Mr 74 Handicap

MY LUCKY CHARM (9) will find this easier than last run and looks suited by the extra ground now. Should be at top and gets chance. MOCHA FRAPPE (6) rates highly after a strong run last time. Overdue and looks a clear danger. PRINCE OF KILDARE (7) hasn't been far away since a win four back. Winning hope. EXPRESS YOURSELF (3) finished fourth over 1600m at Turffontein Standside when resuming last start as a well-back commodity, beaten only 2 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1600m, 2 len behind Merryweather with 54.5kg at $2.30. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Kenilworth on June 1 over 1950m, slow going 1.75 len behind Ahead Of The Facts carrying 55.5kg at $13.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Merryweather with 52.5kg at $7. Before that 2nd of 9 at this track on December 18 over 1700m, 2.25 len behind Drumnadrochit carrying 58.5kg at $21. Rates highly after a strong run last time. Overdue and looks a clear danger.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Mattiazo carrying 61.5kg at $6. The race before that won by a long-neck at this track December 11 over 1600m defeating Ringa Ringa Roses with 54kg at $7. This is well within her grasp.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 13th of 19 at this track on December 20 over 1475m, 8 len behind Wayne carrying 53kg at $26. Second run from a spell 6th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 1400m, 5 len behind Clever Trevor carrying 56kg at $21. This easier than last run and looks suited by the extra ground now. Should be at top and gets chance.
