Oct 28 South Africa (Vaal) preview

RACE 1 (1,200M)

(13) MME HUNTRESS has run well in both her starts and could take out this opening event.

(2) UNDERDOG has shown some improvement lately when he finished in the placings at his last two starts. He should fight out the finish once again.

(12) WINTER WEDDING is improving and can get involved with the finish yet again.

(7) ECHOES OF WAR showed improvement in his second start and could have more to follow.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

(4) VAMANOS has improved with each start and could go one better over this course and distance.

(18) RED SECRET did not appear to like the soft track last time, but she ran well in debut and is not out of it.

(5) DONDOYAKI has not been reliable but does have a winning chance.

(14) GIRL IN VERDITE was not beaten far on her debut and should be a threat to these rivals.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

A quality field and an interesting race. Most of these runners will be using this race as a preparation run for the feature races in November.
