Outofthedarkness will have to run a big race in Saturday’s Grade 3 Victory Moon Stakes to ensure a place in the Gauteng Summer Cup.Being drawn wide has not helped his cause.
However, he comes from the in form Johan Janse van Vuuren yard and will also relish the lonhg straight of the Turffontein Standside track.
He has simply been too far back in his last two starts on the Turffontein Inside track.
However, he was staying on well in both races over 1600m and 1500m respectively.
On pedigree he should relish the 1800m of the Victory Moon, being by Gimmethegreenlight out of the smart Fort Wood mare Negroamara, who was runner up in both the Grade 1 SA Fillies Classic and Grade 1 Woolavington 2000, among other big race places.
He has the perfect jockey for him aboard, Chase Maujean, who is does well on hold up horse.
He has won in soft going before and the 25/2 about him for the Victory Moon carrying just 51kg could represent fair value.
His Summer Cup odds are around 67/1.
