Vaal Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mr 90 Hcp

Looks a match race again. CORRUPT (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 2600m at Turffontein Inside, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Winning rider Keagan De Melo retains the mount. Up in weight but expected to go close again. GREEN MACHINE (5) was runner-up behind him last time. Meets the winner 2kg better and well placed to turn the tables. BELLEROPHON (1) is experiencing varying luck of late. In the money, beaten half a length, two runs back over 2400m at Turffontein Standside. Things fell apart when he failed to complete the course last time out at Turffontein Standside. Tends to go best here and deserves another chance. TAXHAVEN (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 15 lengths from the winner in tenth over 3000m at Greyville. No surprise to see him in the mix.
