Vaal Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
LANZAROTE (4) was in the money again last time out over 1000m at Listed level at Turffontein Standside, finishing third against better opposition than this. Should camp just off the leaders. The one to beat. LADY HARLEQUIN (3) is on debut for the Candice Tammy Dawson stable. Two-year-old filly by What A Winter from Submergence. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. VERDANDI (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Erik The Red and hails from the Paul Matchett stable. Any push in betting should be respected. HOC EST VITA (1) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, an improvement on her eighth on debut at Turffontein Standside the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, 7th of 9 at this track on January 29 over 1000m, 10 len behind Secretary Bird with 57.5kg at $51. Second-up ran last of 8 at Turffontein Inside on February 26 over 1000m, 6 len behind Queen Leila with 60kg at $26. Needs to find a few lengths to test these.
