Race 1: VIVA DE JANEIRO (9)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: J A Janse van Vuuren
Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren holds a strong hand in this contest and can saddle the first two past the post. VIVA DE JANEIRO produced a promising debut effort over 1000m at Turffontein, five weeks ago. He was slow into stride, but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Oratorio would have gained from the experience and will love the rise to 1450m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
