NEXT VAAL RACEMEETING TUESDAY 23 JULY MR 73 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)    

Certain to be a strong tempo with Prince Of Kildare, Written In Stone and Thymetoshine leading the charge. PUTINS PROMISE (2) is close to a win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Best figures measure up and jumping from the inside gate is sure to run well. GRAND CRESCENDO (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish. SNEAK PREVIEW (4) finished third last time over 1450m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Worth noting Craig Zackey goes aboard. Ready to go a couple of places better. WALLED GARDEN (7) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1200m at this track last time out. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Well worth including in exotic bets.
