Vaal Race 3 - SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate (F & M)

THE REASON (1) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Can break through this time. ONCEINABLUEMOON (2) finished second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside two back then missed the frame last time out over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Overdue and expected to go very well. LANTERI (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1600m at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SAVARA'S PRINCESS (4) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1450m at Turffontein Inside at her latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 7 over 1160m, 2.25 len behind Detailed Forecast carrying 60kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on February 21 over 1160m, 1.1 len behind Shivering Light carrying 60kg at $5. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
