LISTED RIVERSIDE HANDICAP (R150 000) - 1450m - Sean Tarry notches another feature: TAPTAP MAKHATINI to the fore

The six-year-old gelding, TAPTAP MAKHATINI, returning from a six month break got it spot on this afternoon when he won the first of two listed events on today's Vaal race meeting.

The field broke well with TAPTAP MAKHATINI was the first to show from ALL THE BIDS and HAWKSWORTH. After 100m the lead had changed hands. ALL THE BIDS had take over the lead from TAPTAP MAKHATINI and CHESTNUT'S ROCKET. HAWKSWORTH decided to take the scenic route home and duly raced wide. HALF MOON HOTEL raced handily along with the tote favourite, SAMOGAN.

As they hit the top of the straight, TAPTAP MAKHATINI moved up in to contention and struck the front with about 500m to go. SAMOGAN could not find a way through and only got going late.

TAPTAP MAKHATINI found a good finish under Piere Strydom to win, but was put under some pressure late on from FORM UP and SAMOGAN. HALF MOON HOTEL stayed on well for fourth and his efforts were good throughout the race.

The winner, and son of ALBERT HALL has now won more than R450 000. All six of his wins have been at this track.
