GOING:

NEXT VAAL RACEMEETING TUESDAY 2 SEPTEMBER FM 76 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Expecting a slick tempo with Cartagena, Lapis Lazuli and Wagram leading the way. ANNEWITHAN E (3) is better than her last start run over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside course looks on paper. She won her penultimate outing over this course and distance. She has a good draw of three and can notch up her fourth-career victory. BOOM BOOM (4) ran a fair race over 1600m on the Classic course last time. She finished third in her only attempt over this distance. She takes a slight drop in class and should be fighting out the finish. CARTAGENA (7) is better than her last start run over 2400m. She has won over this course and distance previously. On best form shown, she would not be a shock winner. PRETTY ANALIA (5) had excuses in her last two starts. She is having her first start from the Fanie Bronkhorst stable and she steps up to 1800m. Serino Moodley is in the saddle and if settled into her new surroundings, she should be fighting out the finish.
