Vaal Race 3 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
Moderate race. SHERLOCK HOLMES (9) looks the one to beat on the back of a debut placing here then a near miss at Turffontein Standside last time. Close to getting off the mark. Gets chance. ARIZONA MAGIC (3) is another close to a win. Not far away latest when second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. This looks a nice assignment. PURPLE RAIN (6) turned in a moderate debut over 1160m at Turffontein Standside on February 14 when she was safely held in seventh, 6 lengths from the winner. Will take a lot from that experience. One of the hopes. GUNBOAT (1) was poor fresh just a couple of days ago and on the quick back-up. Has claims on best form.

Was well in the market at debut, second last of 8 at Turffontein Standside on February 14 over 1160m, 6 len behind Traditional Belief with 60kg at $4.50. Sure to kick on with that run under the belt.
