Vaal Race 3 - Racing Today Maiden Plate
KING REDOUTE (4) was heavily bet on debut and was green but boxed on okay for fourth. Looks to have plenty of upside and worth following up at second outing. POWER OF TIGER (6) was disappointing as favourite here last time but best form stacks up and change of rider. Can atone. KAMBATI (1) is better than that recent plain performance suggests. Placed only try this trip and worth another chance. MRS STORMIATRIX (5) is on the quick back-up after a solid run fresh. Has pace and looks an improver with definite claims.

Was well-supported at debut, in a small field at this track on January 29 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Rock Music carrying 60kg at $2.30. Was heavily bet on debut and was green but boxed on okay for fourth. Looks to have plenty of upside and worth following up at second outing.
