Vaal Race 5 - Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Mr 74 Hcp

TAKING A RISK (4) has the most reliable recent profile, coming off a Benchmark 72 second at Turffontein Inside where she was beaten just over a length after being near the top of betting. Her previous Benchmark 74 second at Vaal adds depth to the case, and she has repeatedly placed at this track and distance. TIME TO FIRE (3) is the danger after winning an MPLTE here by just over half a length, though the market missed him completely and his run prior was plain. ECHOES OF WAR (8) ties into TAKING A RISK through the same Sergeant Soqrat race and has enough track form to hold place claims if sharper. USHOULDBEDANCING (6) has been below her best at 1200m, but the class drop and return to a more suitable setup give her a realistic minor-money profile.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth in an FM Benchmark 76 over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, beaten eight and a half lengths at generous odds. She had also been second last in an FM Benchmark 82 at Greyville, so the recent form reads plainly. The drop back in trip and her three placings from four track-and-distance runs offer some help, but a much sharper first-up effort is required.

Comments

Has been safely held in stronger benchmark company, finishing sixth behind Fierceness at Turffontein Inside last start when beaten eight lengths at big odds. He was last over 10 lengths away behind Caladrius the run prior, again unwanted in betting. A previous Vaal record gives him some background merit, but current form leaves him with a fair bit to turn around.

Returns off a five-week let-up after breaking through in an MPLTE at Vaal, beating Two Tigers by just over half a length despite being unwanted in the market. That was a sharp rebound from his last placing behind Echoes Of War here two back, beaten over 17 lengths. Proven at the track and distance and reunited with the winning rider, he has a genuine winning platform if that latest improvement holds.

Second-up after a strong return in a Benchmark 72 at Turffontein Inside, where she finished second to Sergeant Soqrat and was beaten just over a length on soft ground. She had earlier filled the same placing in a Benchmark 74 at Vaal behind Catfish, so the form has a consistent shape. While she has won only once from 17 starts, her 80% place strike at this track and distance makes her the clear horse to beat.

Was well held in a Benchmark 80 over 1200m at Turffontein Inside last start, finishing seventh behind Blindfire when beaten just over five lengths at big odds. His previous third at Vaal was more encouraging, beaten just under three lengths in a small field after being well supported. First-time blinkers, the claim and a return in trip give him each-way angles, but he profiles as a rougher chance.

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing last in an FM Benchmark 80 over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, beaten six and a half lengths. Her previous sixth in an FM Benchmark 74 was sounder without being compelling, and she now draws barrier one with the winning rider back aboard. The class drop and return from 1200m give her a better platform to run into a placing.

Finished fourth in an FM Benchmark 85 at Vaal last start, but the margin was just over nine lengths and she started at generous odds. She did win here two back in an FM MPLTE, beating Astrophile by a long neck, so there is some track-and-distance substance in the profile. The class drop helps, but she has to reproduce the win rather than the latest performance to threaten.

Ran fourth in the same Benchmark 72 won by Sergeant Soqrat last start, finishing three and a half lengths away after starting well fancied. He must turn around that line with Taking A Risk, but his Vaal record is respectable and he has already beaten Time To Fire at this track. The previous eighth at 1200m was below par, yet back at this setup he has enough to be a place player.
