Vaal Race 3

Charity Mile 1 November Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Stake: $8,189

MATCHA MINT (5) In the money when 2nd last time at Turffontein and going over more ground. Has plenty of early speed. Placed at every start this campaign. Finds a winnable race. OPERA FAN (6) Came in 5th last run at Turffontein. Likely to bounce back and stepping up in trip. Won't be far away during the run. Must respect in this event. WITCHING HOUR (9) Looked good when 3rd last run at Turffontein and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Has to carry more weight this time. Won't be far away. LITTLEMISSMILLION (4) Career debut 3yo by Elusive Fort for trainer Tyrone Zackey. Watch for a sign in the market.
