Vaal Race 3

Striker & Jj The Jet Plane Take On Hong Kong In 2010 Maiden Plate

Stake: $9,554

XENOPHON (1) has run three good races to date. He showed speed over this distance at Scottsville last time, but did not go on with the effort in the latter stages. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. SILVER LONGSWORD (2) stayed on when third over 1160m at Turffontein last time. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Has each-way claims. POWER OF PEARLS (11) produced an encouraging debut effort over 1000m at Turffontein last start. She returns from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. She should give the males a decent run for their money. CAPTAIN FRANK (8) ran a fair race over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He is a progressive type and has place prospects.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, second last of 11 at Turffontein Standside on June 15 over 1400m, 29 len behind Chieftain's Shield with 57.5kg at $101. Second-up 5th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on June 28 over 1160m, 13 len behind Titan Of The Turf carrying 60kg at $101. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
