Vaal Classic
Race 8 – 16:45
1800m – Next Vaal Race Meeting: Thursday, 21 May MR 78 Handicap (F & M)
7 – Kortvandraad
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Shira by Captain Al
Trainer: PP & JM Vermeulen
Jockey: *Mickaelle Michel -1.5kg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 3 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She jumps from Barrier Three with SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Mickaelle Michel taking the 1.5kgs off her back. Her work has been good, and she has been eating well. The daughter of Erupt tries the 1800m for the first time and if suited to the extra distance on offer, she should run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:71. Decent latest despite awkward start. Should enjoy the rise to 1800m.
