Tarry holds strong hand

QUANTITY: THERE ARE 13 RUNNERS CARDED TO REPRESENT THE STABLE AT THE VAAL

- Jack Milner

Trainer Sean Tarry has a full string of runners in action at the Vaal tomorrow where he has 13 runners carded.

He has a three-pronged attack in both the opening and closing events on the eight-race card but his best could come up in Race 7 where he sends out Trajanus.

This three-year-old son of Danon Platina has only raced four times, finishing second in his first three starts before shedding his maiden last time with an emphatic three-length victory over Seed Seeker. That came despite having been bumped at the start.

After his first two races the decision was taken to geld him and his two runs since that operation have rested in a 0.80-length defeat by Miami Mountain over 1200m before that facile victory.
