Vaal Race 4 - Equus Champion Owner: Hollywood Racing Mdn Plate (F & M)
GO FOR BROKE (9) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing, finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Wound up nicely last time and has upside. Hard to hold out. KNOCKIN' BOOTS (2) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the corner at Turffontein Inside, finishing eighth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $4.50. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORTHERN EUROPEAN (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. ALITTLEBITOFLOVE (7) raced once in the maiden preparation when tenth at this track over 1200m back on March 31. Open to improvement and can feature.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 12 at this track on June 18 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Impressive with 60kg at $4.50. Second-up 2nd of 8 at Turffontein Inside on August 16 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Elusive Dragon with 60kg at $3.30. Wound up strongly last time. Definite winning chance.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Turffontein Standside on August 8 over 1000m, 17 len behind Master's Lady carrying 58kg at $67. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
