Vaal Race 5 - Youcanbetonus! Mr 86 Handicap

DAMOVA (3) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Turffontein Inside then improved and scored over 2400m at Turffontein Standside a month ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. More weight but won this class and trip last time. Fitter again and expected to measure up. ONE MORE STAR (2) meets winner slightly worse at weights but racing well and close to another win. Can turn the tables. BATTLEGROUND (1) tackled a stakes race last time when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 2400m in Listed grade at Turffontein Standside. This easier and open to plenty of improvement. FUTUREWOLFF (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths last time at this course and distance and plummets in the weights. This harder but well placed again.

Comes off a 38 day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 13 at Turffontein Standside in LR on March 14 over 2400m, 8 len behind Daimyo with 54kg at $13.50. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on February 19 over 2600m, nose behind Bellerophon with 61.5kg at $3. This easier. Can do a lot better than that last run.
