Vaal Race 3 - Betway Summer Cup 28 November Mdn Plate
DREADNOUGHT (2) Missed by a narrow margin last time at Greyville and promising career start. Has not missed the money this preparation in 3 attempts. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Will be in the finish. GIDDY UP GRACE (7) Was agonizingly close last run here and drawn nicely. Should jump out and bowl along. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a break. Rates a winning chance. LANCE ATTACK (3) Placed 3rd last run at this track and gets the perfect draw. Expect to go close. GUS ON THE BUS (4) Came in 3rd last run at this venue. First start for a new trainer. Looks a great place bet.

Finished last at this track over 2000m last start, beaten a long way by One Eye On Dubai after being unwanted in the market. His third at Turffontein Inside two runs back was sounder, but he was still beaten just over six lengths at long odds. The apprentice claim and class drop help, yet a 10-start maiden record and poor good-track stats leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a five-week freshening after going within a long neck of Danny Atlas at Greyville over 1600m, where he started a firming favourite in a 14-runner field. He had also been beaten just over half a length at Scottsville, so the consistency is clear. The first look at 1800m is the query, but three placings from three starts gives him a strong winning profile.

Improved sharply when third at this track over 1600m last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Be The One after attracting some support despite long odds. That was a clear step forward from his seventh here over 1400m. Drawn to use his early speed from barrier one and gets weight relief, though 1800m is new ground, so he appeals most as a place chance.

Placed at this track last start, but the margin tells the story: third over 2000m and beaten over 11 lengths by One Eye On Dubai as one of the outsiders. His previous sixth at Turffontein Inside was also safely held. The class drop and race fitness keep him in minor calculations, but a 12-start maiden record makes the winning case difficult.

Has had two runs and is still learning the trade, finishing fifth at this track over 1600m last start when beaten seven and a half lengths by Be The One at generous odds. His debut sixth at Turffontein Inside was no stronger. Weight relief and a third-up profile are positives, but the first attempt at 1800m comes before he has shown enough race-day polish.

Beaten over 20 lengths on debut at Turffontein Inside, finishing second last behind Rafe's Oracle after starting unwanted in the market. He is entitled to improve with that first race experience, and the class drop with weight relief is some help. Even so, barrier nine and a first try at 1800m make this a demanding second-up assignment.

Put up the best recent form in the race when second at this track over 1600m last start, beaten a long neck by Be The One after sitting near the top of betting. She had also run second here five days earlier, so her form is holding together. Her 1800m record has not produced a placing, but she drops from 60kg to 56.5kg and looks ready to convert.

Back from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth at Turffontein Inside, but she was beaten over 15 lengths by Nicci's Law and started at long odds. Her third at this track two runs back was better, albeit in a small field and still beaten just over six lengths. The apprentice claim and class drop assist, though her record at this track and distance remains a concern.

Comes off two heavy defeats at this track, finishing seventh over 1200m last start and eighth over 1400m the run prior, beaten over 15 lengths and over 14 lengths respectively at big odds. She does get weight relief and remains early in her career, but four unplaced starts at this venue and a first look at 1800m make others far more appealing.
