Vaal Race 3 - SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate

SOSORU (7) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 0.9 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAMMER BLOW (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ELEGANT EDGE (8) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1000m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. SCORPIO (2) finished 12 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1000m at Turffontein Standside on March 14. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
