BEST BETS
RACE 1 Far Reaching
J J Van Vuuren / G Lerena
Was well supported on debut and ran well, only finding one too good. Additionally, two runners who finished behind her that day have come out to win in their next run. Expect her to be tough to beat this time around.
RACE 3 Just The Two Of Us
M Azzie / M Yeni
Fly-jumped and lost the irons when heavily backed to make a winning debut, yet still managed to finish in the money, just 6 lengths behind. Can go close if she knows her job better today.
RACE 5 Donna Mo
B Crawford / K Matsunyane
Has been running well, including last time when only finding today’s rival, I AM REGAL, too good. With a 2kg weight turnaround, the balance should shift back in the selection’s favour.
RACE 8 Viva De Janeiro
F Bronkhorst / G Lerena
Has been running well, and if everything goes smoothly, he should be involved in the finish again in what appears to be a tricky race. Both of his wins have been at the Vaal, including one over this distance.
