Vaal Classic
Race 3 – 12:35
1800m – Charity Mile 1 November Maiden Plate (F & M)
2 – Nkwenkwezi
Breeding: Erupt (Ire) – Sainte Camille by Lateral (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Jason Gates
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
Her last four starts have been good. She steps up to 1800m and she is taking her racing well. Jason Gates was aboard when she started to show her best form. The daughter of Erupt jumps from barrier three and she has a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Keeps running into the money. Genuine chance.

Race 9 – 16:10
1000m – Summer Cup 29 November MR 80 Handicap
4 – Qhawe Lami
Breeding: Duke Of Marmalade (IRE) – Vice Versa by Var (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 7 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He got off to a slow start last time and is better than the run suggests. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib rides and the blinkers have been re-fitted. His work has been good, and we are hoping for an improved run.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:97. Finished behind number 6 in latest. Place chance.
