Vaal Race 4 - Classic Day 7 March Classified Stakes

Looks a good match between the top two again. CARTAGENA (4) goes well here. Far too good this course and distance last time in a dominant win. Big chance to go back-to-back. CHABAL (3) beat CARTAGENA two back then was well off best latest. Goes very well here and can make amends. LAVA LAMP (1) has been given a let-up since racing over much further last time. Won only try course and distance. Claim helps and expected to run well. ARLINGTON ACTION (2) is much better than last start. Has a strong record course and distance. Winning chance.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start 5th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 2400m, 8 len behind Douglas Dragon carrying 51kg at $6. The start before that won by a 0.3 len at this track November 4 over 2400m defeating Cartagena carrying 57kg at $5. Beat Cartagena two back then was well off best latest. Goes very well here and can make amends.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 10 at this track on December 11 over 1600m, 8 len behind Johnny Drama with 58kg at $67. Last start ran last of 12 at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1800m, 18 len behind Crepuscolo with 60kg at $81. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Most recently 6th of 10 at this track on December 20 over 2400m, 16 len behind Cartagena carrying 56kg at $21. The race before that 9th of 14 at Turffontein Inside on December 2 over 2000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Arlington Action with 57kg at $41. Happy enough to avoid.
