Vaal Race 4 - Www.tab.co.za Work Riders Mdn Plate (F & M)
LOLLY WILLOWES (1) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time. Close to a win and won't get a better chance. LIFE AND LETTERS (2) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1600m at Turffontein Inside last start after being in contention on the corner, a less impressive effort than her first-up fifth at Turffontein Standside the run before. Nicely placed to take this out. GLOBAL ROYALTY (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. LAZER LIGHT (4) was safely held when ninth on debut last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Tackles a longer journey this time. Could sneak into the finish with some natural improvement likely.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on June 14 over 1400m, 6 len behind Heavenly Lace with 60kg at $21. The run before that 6th of 8 at Turffontein Inside on June 4 over 1600m, 3 len behind Late Bloomer with 60kg at $34. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Was at very long odds at debut, 9th of 12 at Turffontein Standside on June 27 over 1160m, 8 len behind Hoc Est Vita with 60kg at $67. Can do better. Strong chance in this line-up.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation tenth of 15 at this track May 21 over 1200m, 6 len behind Miss Fantastic with 57kg at $51. On debut fourth of 8 at this track May 4 over 1000m, 6 len behind Empress Wu carrying 57kg at $4. Doesn't appeal.

She is resuming after a 11 weeks break. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at this track May 4 over 1450m, 14 len behind Fashion News with 56kg at $21. On debut ran last in a small field at Turffontein Inside March 12 over 1450m, 15 len behind Within Reach carrying 60kg at $8. May need the run.

Second-up. First-up after five months 9th of 12 at this track on July 2 over 1000m, 21 len behind Indecent Obsession with 60kg at $101. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at this track on January 29 over 1000m, 9 len behind Secretary Bird with 60kg at $9. Unlikely to threaten.
