Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
VIKING LASS (11) was well in the market and wound up strongly to just miss on debut in a good form race, Has upside and can get off the mark. ELUSIVE DRAGON (3) turned in a much better run last time despite the big odds. Will give a sight again. STAR MAGNOLIA (10) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Turffontein Standside over 1000m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Sure to be competitive. PLATINUM SHAY (7) was 12 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Can do better. Solid top-three hope.
