Vaal Race 2 - Classic Day 7 March Maiden Plate (F & M)
UTSAAH (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1600m, beaten half a length. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to her name. Should be hard to stop. GREENSIDE GIRL (7) did her best work late and finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on her fifth on debut at this track the run before. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MADE TO MEASURE (2) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1600m at this track on December 23. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. WINTER WEDDING (4) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Was at a huge quote at debut, second last of 10 at this track on January 8 over 1450m, 19 len behind Falconfly carrying 59kg at $67. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 5th of 8 at this track on December 20 over 1200m, 9 len behind Pleiades Star carrying 60kg at $4.30. Second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at this track on January 22 over 1600m, 7 len behind Reece's Wish carrying 59kg at $41. Key chance likely to give a big sight.
