White Fang

J: S Khumalo

Never landed a blow when third of seven (this distance Vaal Classic, stakes race) over Christmas with two of these rivals behind; admirable career strike-rate; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; needs to be respected

Quite a competitive heat but WHITE FANG can land this. He is taken to confirm placings with Out Of Your League and Captain Chorus and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip.
