Vaal Race 4 - Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Mdn Plate
BE THE ONE (7) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Turffontein Inside over 1450m. Long overdue for a win and expected to go close this time. GIDDY UP GRACE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MADRID (6) didn't do a lot on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. Will take a lot from that experience. Comes through a fairly strong race on debut and is worth following up. LANCE ATTACK (2) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at this track at a huge quote. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
