Vaal Race 2 - 4Racing App Work Riders Maiden Plate

BUFFALO KING CODY (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 12 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1000m at Scottsville. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. HAMMER BLOW (1) is yet to break through after eight starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1200m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Shapes as one of the top chances. AUTOGRAPH (6) is a well bred two-year-old colt on debut. By Futura from Jackie O who has been a successful producer. SECOND TO NUNN (3) turned in a better run last time at the second run back to finish third over 1000m at this track. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
