Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Work Riders Maiden Plate
PERIODIC TABLE (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1160m at Turffontein Standside in a tougher race. On speed and fought on well on debut. That has already proven a strong form race. Will go close. HAMMER BLOW (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SPIRIT OF THE SEA (5) is facing the starter for the first time. By Querari and hails from the Weiho Marwing stable. Expected to feature. VELVET VALOUR (3) showed some ability last season and gets chance to show it.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 8 at this track on May 4 over 1000m, 2 len behind Gunboat with 60kg at $8. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track on March 28 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Geostorm carrying 60kg at $4.30. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
