4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
CHANCELLOR (4) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track when fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Went down as a hot favourite here last week but fitter and worth another chance. SECRET SANTA (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut by Erik The Red from the former top race mare Secret Of Victoria. From a huge family of winners including three-time Grade 1 winner All Is Secret. Expected to have plenty of ability. BLUNDERBORE (3) is on debut for the Mike & Mathew De Kock stable. Three-year-old colt by Malmoos from Fee Fi Foe Fum. Can measure up. Betting crucial. STILO NOVO (7) is on debut. By Master Of My Fate and is out of the Tony Peter stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. |

RACING240 MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
PITERAQ (1) held on well to finish second last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths when resuming. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. TREASURE STATE (4) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1000m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. SATISFIED (7) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at Scottsville last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RANK AND FILE (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Fire Away and hails from the Candice Tammy Dawson stable. Worth watching for a betting push. |

WWW.TAB.CO.ZA FM 89 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1400m
WINTER RAINFALL (2) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, an improvement on her first-up fifth at this track the run before. Back in grade and extra trip a plus. Go close. FIRE IN HER SOUL (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fifth in a 1700m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BEAUTIFUL RANIA (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1450m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WINDS OF GRACE (6) was thereabouts last time and can sneak into the finish with the light weight. |

TAB TELEBET 011 074 0300 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m
BE THE ONE (7) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Turffontein Inside over 1450m. Long overdue for a win and expected to go close this time. GIDDY UP GRACE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MADRID (6) didn't do a lot on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. Will take a lot from that experience. Comes through a fairly strong race on debut and is worth following up. LANCE ATTACK (2) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at this track at a huge quote. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight. |

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 2000m
ONE EYE ON DUBAI (6) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten a neck. Gave a sight and just missed latest. Take catching over the extra ground. CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (1) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 1800m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 4 lengths. Overdue for a win. Leading chance again. COMIC ARTIST (3) is a 17-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1800m at Turffontein Inside after she was well back on straightening. Nice weight drop. Has placed 3/4 course and distance so watch for sharp improvement. SIVAJI (2) made progress last start to finish third over 1800m at Turffontein Inside. Suitably placed so he can feature again. |

BETWAY PINNACLE STAKES 2400m
BELLEROPHON (2) scored at this track last time out with 2.75 lengths in reserve at the end of 2800m. Has three wins here. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. DEEPONE (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 21, finishing seventh and beaten 18 lengths over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Former Irish galloper who was well off best only run for new yard but is a Grade 2 winner in Ireland. First try this trip but has the ability and does go well fresh. SAMUEL SHARPE (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 2400m. Won maiden here and is course and distance placed a few starts back. Can make amends for a modest effort last time. FUTUREWOLFF (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 15 lengths away in eighth over 2400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. |

#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 83 HANDICAP 1600m
SHERIFF BILL BROWN (4) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins. Dominant course and distance winner before a spell and expected to go close fresh. PALACE ATTACK (3) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at Scottsville two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out after being prominent at the corner over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Back in form and goes well this circuit too. BOUNDLESS LOVE (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1800m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Chase Maujean who has two wins when partnering stays on. One of the contenders. AINT NO DOUBT (8) was close to breaking through after two consecutive placings. Has since started favourite on the weekend and was well held. On the quick back-up and may be worth another chance. |

THE LAST DUKE (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third when he worked home well at the end of 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Goes very well course and distance and will be hard to hold out. VIBE SA (4) turned in a decent effort last start when he made late ground to finish third over 1400m at this track. Gavin Lerena gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Loves this course and distance and will be steaming home out wide. ANTONIO GAUDI (7) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 0.7 lengths. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again. Take catching. COLD SHINE (12) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1450m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

NEXT VAAL RACEMEETING THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER FM 69 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1400m
ME AND YOU (1) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last ten weeks ago when she scored over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Promising filly suited this trip fresh and looks hard to beat. EIGHT HATS (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SECRET LIFE (8) was in the money over this distance two back then stepped out over more ground last time and struggled when fourth at Turffontein Standside. Yet to score here but hasn't been far away. Watch for sharp improvement. CONCORDIA (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 17 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form. |
