Vaal Race 4 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate

Lots of these with upside and won't be maidens long. CAPTAIN COOPER (8) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1200m at this track. Raced on pace and fought on well but found one better. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he is worth following up. SANDS OF VALHALLA (11) also made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Big chance based on that effort. PERIODIC TABLE (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has ability and is among the chances. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a long neck away in second over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
