Vaal Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate
SHERLOCK HOLMES (12) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Led and just out bobbed on the line last time. Will take running down again. LIFE IN COLOUR (9) is a two-year-old gelding who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Malmoos from the stakes winner Mina Salaam. CAPTAIN COOPER (3) is a two-year-old colt by Erik The Red out of Holly's Vision set to debut for the Phillip Labuschagne stable. Can measure up. Betting crucial. CAT'S FUTURE (4) is appearing for the first time. By Futura and hails from the Heather E Adamson stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
