Vaal Race 3 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
PERIODIC TABLE (2) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Runner-up all three including a near miss here at only try two back. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HIGHWAY CODE (8) was close to a maiden win before a 11 weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Re-unites with Kabelo Matsunyane. Has ability and is a solid chance. TWELFTH OF NEVER (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a nine weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Expect she has come on over the break. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. MISSION TO MARS (5) is a five-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Stuart Pettigrew. By Sea The Stars from Baino Hope. Watch the market closely.

Resumes after a break of nine weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at this track April 21 over 1800m, a neck behind Pompeii Shield carrying 56.5kg at $3.50. Previously first up; third of 12 at this track March 5 over 1600m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Southampton carrying 60kg at $11. Should be right in the finish.
