Vaal Race 5 - Sa Derby 4 April Mr 84 Handicap

PALACE ATTACK (7) is yet to miss the frame here including his maiden win and ready to win after two runs back. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat. BELLEROPHON (11) has started here every run so far including a win. Well weighted with the claim and looks one of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest. TITANS OF WAR (8) is suited at this journey. Freshened for this and among the chances on best figures. LITTLEMISSSPLENDID (12) is building to a win and put the writing on the wall last time. One of the main contenders.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on December 7 over 1600m, 6 len behind Open Highway with 58.5kg at $4.30. Second run from a spell 3rd of 9 at this track on December 18 over 1700m, 2.75 len behind Drumnadrochit carrying 60kg at $5.50. Yet to miss the frame here including his maiden win and ready to win after two runs back. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 2400m, 5.5 len behind Douglas Dragon with 53.5kg at $13.50. The race before that second last in a small field at this track on December 4 over 2000m, 8 len behind Royal Edition with 56kg at $4.30. Trip suits. Freshened for this and among the chances on best figures.

The run before that 4th of 9 at this track on November 11 over 1800m, slow going 2.25 len behind Artic Silver carrying 59kg at $3. All his form is here. Well weighted with the claim and looks one of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
