Vaal Race 2 - Www.tab.co.za Mdn Juvenile Plate

TENAREEF (9) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 0.9 lengths away in third over 1200m at Greyville. Has good early speed. Looks well placed to open his account. MOCHA MAGIC (5) is a well-related two-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Rafeef from Varachino who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. CAPTAIN COOPER (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 13 lengths starting at $6.50. Steps up a level but he is worth another chance. REACHINGFORTHEMOON (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Horizon and is out of the Robyn Klaasen stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at this track May 21 over 1400m, 26 len behind Life In Colour with 60kg at $126. On debut second last of 8 at Turffontein Standside April 12 over 1160m, 17 len behind Arizona Magic carrying 57kg at $101. Others have firmer winning claims.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 13 at this track on May 26 over 1000m, 4 len behind Fierceness carrying 60kg at $4.30. Second-up 3rd of 9 at Greyville on June 13 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Kid From The South with 60kg at $2.80. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
