Vaal Race 4 - Classic Day 7 March Maiden Plate
KING REDOUTE (7) s a gelding by Rafeef from the stakes-winner She's A Pippa on debut. Profiles strongly fly this line-up and can open account at first outing. TREASURE STATE (9) will find this a little easier than her third on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 5 lengths at the end of 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Promising type with improvement to come so she can feature again. ROCK MUSIC (3) is course and distance placed and overdue for a win. Genuine hope on best form. SCORPIO (1) has shown ability and should be much improved. Go well fresh.

Gelding by Rafeef on debut. Profiles well for this being a son of the stakes winning mare She's A Pippa. Profiles strongly fly this line-up and can open account at first outing.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 3 over 1160m, 5 len behind Gulf Of America with 60kg at $5. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
