Vaal Race 3 - Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Maiden Plate (F & M)
DESTINY'S DREAM (1) finished second, beaten a head, when resuming from a spell last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Fitter and can go one better. BRIGITTE ANNE (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Nicely placed to take this out. RENDEVOUS IN RIO (3) is a five-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the last run before spelling. Expect she has come on over the break. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. ERIK'S GIRL (4) finished 5 lengths away in seventh at her last appearance over 1160m at Turffontein Standside on April 12. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.

Two-year-old filly who is first starter by Erupt out of Shira. Expected to have plenty of admirers.
