Vaal Race 2 - Racing Today Mdn Plate

CAMPO FORMIO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HANDSOME BADGER (6) is a three-year-old gelding by Rafeef out of Pretty Wendy set to debut for the Mike & Mathew De Kock stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. STEEL PIER (3) was well fancied last start over 1500m at this track when sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Can bounce back. MIRUM (7) debuted a week-and-a-half ago when he finished sixth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3.5 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on August 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind From The Get Go with 60kg at $7. The race before that 2nd of 14 at Turffontein Inside on July 9 over 1450m, 1.4 len behind Magic Declaration carrying 60kg at $9. Genuine contender under these conditions.
