He is having his first run for the Mike de Kock stable. The son of Futura is in a good space heading into this race. He may be in need of this outing, but is expected to run well. Place chance.

Race 7 – 15:55
1500m – TAB Telebet 0861 000 822 MR 70 Handicap
1 – Tirpitz
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Exotic (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Brett Crawford
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is doing very well at home and the stable are happy with him heading into the race. The obvious concern is his big mass of 62kgs, but he has cracked a good draw of three. He will enjoy the drop back to 1500m and has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2022.01.26. Best MR:74. Decent latest. Is held by number 3 on penultimate run.

Race 7 – 15:55
1500m – TAB Telebet 0861 000 822 MR 70 Handicap
4 – Asiye Phambili
Breeding: What A Winter – Cast A Spell by Rambo Dancer (CAN)
Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Piere Strydom
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She ran a very good race when second over 1450m, last week. She comes into this race well weighted and gets the services of top jockey Piere Strydom. If this run has not come too soon, she should run a big race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Beaten a neck one-week ago. Should give the males a good run for their money.

Race 8 – 16:30
1450m – Next Vaal Racemeeting Thursday 1 December MR 69 Handicap (F & M)
1 – Queen Of Smoke
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Kwinta by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Stuart Pettigrew
Jockey: Randall Simons
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/10
She followed up her maiden win with an equally impressive victory over 1200m on this course. She is doing very well at home and will love the step up to 1450m. Randall Simons retains the ride and she is expected to have a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Won handicap debut in style. Performs well for Simons and hat-trick is on the cards.
