Vaal

Race 1

Interesting race with Kelloholm Lad looking the choice especially on that penultimate behind the decent Ganesh Talai. Should enjoy a front running passage on the outside of the track which is the speed lane. Tycoon was decent first time out and ha sroom for improvement. Place chance. Tudor Manor has gone close but hasn't made it over the line.

Race 2
The first ever assessment plate with take place in this race. Open to most horse horses but compulsory for winners of their first five starts. It allows the handicapper to better judge the horses. Sally Called is highly rated and this race allows that assessment. She is favoured to run to her rating and win. Nautic Spirit didn't enjoy enjoy the wide trip at Greyville. Will be better for that run now. La Lucia could prove that the first run was no fluke and could place here.

Race 3
Hard to get away from the lightly raced Elusive Coral who ran Nawaasi close last time. More to come. Mrs Wils was a fair few lengths off a subsequent winner and could place in this company. Pachanga will run another solid race bur could be out run late.

Race 4
Operatta goes of thebhattricm after a solid win in the handicaps last time out. 7 point jimo but could defy that. Rock Pigeon gets the four kg claim and drops on the MR, definite dark horse. Watch. Colombina is in decent form, a tad disappointed last time but more expected now.

Race 5
An Air Of Success ran another creditable race last time and is close to the win now for a form stable. Celestina is the stabke elect and could follow that win with another solid performance. La Bastide is expected to need the run but is class on her day and could place.

Race 6
Form return last time for Donny G and this could be his race after a decent close up 4th last time. Copper Jay could defy the penulty and run a decent place here after that win and second in two latest efforts. Brigtnumberten was again close last time and has been running to excellent form of late. Big runner.

Race 7
Lute Society is back in trip and big runner on penultimate over the shorter 1400m trip. Needs to jump on terms to compete though. Dropped in the MR and in distance will suit this runner. Pacy type. Sovereign Ruler is in prime form and could place here.

Race 8
Norland has been knocking the door down on his last few efforts and is ripe for the win. Sleepinseattle is off the same formline and could be right there again. Camel Walk has more to offer after that maiden win and could place here.

Race 9
Skiminac has been close in his last three efforts and the first win is not far off. Festive Linngari was improved into second last time and must be a contender now. Improvement is expected from Trumps Triumph who improved from first to second run.
