VAAL (SAND TRACK) 9 SEPTEMBER 2010

 RACE 1:Maiden Plate 1000m Straight

SERMON is the form of the race. His last few have been very close and may get it right today. TSITSIKAMA STRIKE made a good debut until a moderate effort last time out. He will go well if he shows his debut. VICTORY SERENADE is a battling sort. He is honest enough to earn a cheque. EMERALD EMPEROR needs to show his debut run to have any chance. KHUSETI can sneak into minor money too.

SELECTION: 1st:- SERMON * (1); 2nd:- TSITSIKAMA STRIKE (15); 3rd:- VICTORY SERENADE (3)

RACE 2:Maiden Plate 1000m Straight

SAINT ENOUGH is hard to beat on form. He has run one weak race from four and should win this. DUBUSSEY ran very well last time out in weak company. This field is not the strongest and he can be involved. BAKER'S DOZEN ran well last time out and if he repeats that he should be in the shake up. DERBY PRINCE has each way claims on an improved last two runs. SOUL MASTER is a very well bred first timer. Watch the betting.

SELECTION: 1st:- SAINT ENOUGH *** (5); 2nd:- DUBUSSEY (2); 3rd:- BAKER'S DOZEN (3)

RACE 3:Maiden Plate (F&M) 1600m Bend

SPECIAL LANDING is another well bred first timer. This is a very weak field and she can make a winning start. MISS PAVV has her sand debut. She is battling but her form is decent enough. She can go close. AMARILLO is very inconsistent but at best she has to be involved. PECAN WHISTLE ran third last time out to a very smart sort. She should be in the money. STORMY SENSATION was close up last time. She has to repeat that run.

SELECTION: 1st:- SPECIAL LANDING * (10); 2nd:- MISS PAVV (1); 3rd:- AMARILLO (5)

RACE 4:MR 85 Hcp (F&M) 1800m Bend

WATCHFUL was very easily last time out. If she shows that run again she will be hard to beat. JAMAICAN EXPRESS was well beaten by WATCHFUL last time out. She has plenty to find to reverse that. FULL MOON RISING is battling to win again but she is always close up. She should earn. RAPID FLOW was a little outclassed last time out but in her first run on sand it can all change. MY CANDY GIRL can sneak into minor money here.

SELECTION: 1st:- WATCHFUL *** (1); 2nd:- JAMAICAN EXPRESS (6); 3rd:- FULL MOON RISING (3)

RACE 5:Graduation Plate (F&M) 1450m Bend

ARABIAN GLAMOUR really looks a smart sort. She is very well bred and after her easy win last time she may follow up. STRATISFACTION ran well last time in the Thekwini Fillies Stakes. She should run a big race. JUNE BUG could be anything. She wasn't disgraced to Happy Archer last time out and could be right there. STARTS IN MY EYES was close up last time out. She is honest and may be in the shake up. DANGERFIELD won last time out but has more to find here.

SELECTION: 1st:- ARABIAN GLAMOUR * (6); 2nd:- STRATISFACTION (5); 3rd:- JUNE BUG (10)

RACE 6:MR 82 Hcp (F&M) 1200m Bend

ENGAGEMENT hacked in last time on the sand. She can follow up. FANTASTIC LADY is more than capable. She has run with the best in the past and can run well here. POETRY PARTY has been below her maiden form since she won. She was close up last time suggesting she is back to best. SHIFT CYPHER and FROSTY FILLY are both decent sorts but may need it as they are off long rests.

SELECTION: 1st:- ENGAGEMENT ** (12); 2nd:- FANTASTIC LADY (4); 3rd:- POETRY PARTY (6)

RACE 7:MR 90 Hcp 1450m Bend

ROYAL EXPRESS was beaten a length by a top class sort last time. On that run he could be hard to beat. EASTERN COBBLER won very well last time out. He won a game race that day and can repeat. SEE THE LIGHT was beaten into second that day. They may follow each other home again. GLADIUS fought well last time out when he won too. He could follow up. FEARLESS GUN may run into minor money.

SELECTION: 1st:- ROYAL EXPRESS * (5); 2nd:- EASTERN COBBLER (3); 3rd:- SEE THE LIGHT (6)

RACE 8:MR 69 Hcp (F&M) 1200m Bend 

LOVELY SASH aims for the hat-trick. She looks the best in this rather weak field. LOOK FOR LIGHT has been improving in her last few and she should be involved again. ON MY WAY TO ROME may have been outclassed since her maiden win. Back in this she must be respected. GOLD ESSENCE may run a place as she never runs far back in this sort of race. ROMAN WORLD has a very small chance too.

SELECTION: 1st:- LOVELY SASH * (5); 2nd:- LOOK FOR LIGHT (1); 3rd:- ON MY WAY TO ROME (4)

Race 9: MR 73 Hcp 1450m Bend

MODERN DRIVE is always honest and should run another good race. SNOW SPECIAL has been racing well with stronger and should be in the shake up. CANNON 'N CORDITE may be rather inconsistent but on her last win he may show another big run. COMBERA BOY looks like one of Kimberley's best. Watch for a big run here.  ENZA PLAN looks to be the best of the rest.

SELECTION: 1st:- MODERN DRIVE * (1); 2nd:- SNOW SPECIAL (2); 3rd:- CANNON 'N CORDITE (10)
