Vaal Race 6 - Youcanbetonus! Work Riders Maiden Plate

MASTER BUDDY (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. WINDING POWER (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ROYALE JACKET (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5 lengths into fifth at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. CRONUS (4) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Nicely placed to turn things around.

Last start 6th of 10 at Turffontein Standside on April 19 over 1400m, 6 len behind Best Candidate with 60kg at $17. Before that 4th of 9 at this track on March 26 over 1450m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Shoreybomba carrying 60kg at $34. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

At debut, ran last in a small field at Turffontein Inside on April 9 over 1600m, 6 len behind Parachute Adams carrying 60kg at $8. Capable of plenty of improvement.
