Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
WITHIN REACH (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1450m at Turffontein Inside two-and-a-half weeks ago, beating a few of these in the process. Has plenty of upside and can win again. DOESYOURMOTHERKNOW (2) could only manage fourth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1450m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 0.9 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. MOANA (4) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1450m at Turffontein Inside when second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so another top-three finish is on the cards. PROUD MARY (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Vaal. Has ability and worth including.

Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; won by 0.8 len at Turffontein Inside March 12 over 1450m defeating Moana carrying 60kg at $2. Too good on the inside track as favourite on debut and has good upside. Another win is on the cards.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on March 12 over 1450m, 0.8 len behind Within Reach carrying 60kg at $11. Not far away from the winner on the inside course on debut. Encouraging effort and another big run is on the cards.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Vaal on March 5 over 1200m, 3 len behind Grande Hawaii carrying 60kg at $4.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.
