Vaal
Race 6 – 15:25
1000m – Betway Spring Challenge 4 October MR 82 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Paradise Way

Trainer: Alec Laird
Jockey: *Girish Samo-Burthia -4.0kg
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She won a good race when shedding her maiden tag over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She carries a light mass of 50.5kgs thanks to the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Girish Samo-Burthia. The daughter of Canford Cliffs takes on stronger and we are hoping for an encouraging first run out of the maidens.
Winning Form Comment: Backed up odds-on status last time and Fish Hawk has given the form line a boost.
