Vaal Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Juvenile Plate
MOLTEN ROCK (8) continued the encouraging form and wasn't far away last time when third over 1000m at this track. Will be hard to stop over the longer journey. ECHO OF THE WILD (2) is a two-year-old gelding by Malmoos out of Beataboutthebush stepping out on debut for the Corne Spies stable. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. VISION OF GOLD (11) is a well-related two-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Gold Standard from Supreme Vision who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at the elite level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Mike Mathew De Kock stable. THEODORE ROOSEVELD (5) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1200m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
