Vaal Race 4 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
ONE EYE ON DUBAI (5) stepped out on his debut over 1200m at Turffontein Inside three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. IMYOURHUCKLEBERRY (1) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid third over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MIDNIGHT SHOW (2) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at Turffontein Inside the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. FIELD OF DREAMS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.

Was well in the market at debut, 4th in a small field at Turffontein Inside on August 16 over 1200m, 3 len behind Camillo Cavour carrying 58kg at $4.50. Plenty to build upon following his debut. Kept coming and looks suited by the extra ground.
