Tuesday 2 November 2021
Vaal
Race 2 – 14:10
1400m – www.highveldracing.co.za Maiden Handicap
7 – Groomedtowin
Breeding: Pomodoro – For The Lads by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 3 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is having his first run for the Clinton Binda stable. He may still be in need of this outing, but he carries a nice weight of 55kgs and it isn’t a strong field. He gets the services of Raymond Danielson and has a first four chance.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Tarry S G-2021.09.30. 2nd run after rest. Gelded 2021.07.29. Best MR:73. Good first run as a gelding. Big chance.

Race 3 – 14:50
2000m – Betontab.co.za MR 79 Handicap (F & M)
2 – Mrs Hotline
Breeding: Irish Flame – Galingale by National Emblem
Trainer: Candice Dawson
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 10 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She has come on since her first run for the Candice Dawson stable. She will enjoy the step up to 2000m, but has a wide draw of ten to overcome. She will enjoy the long Vaal straight and can finish in the quartets.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt P B-2021.06.16. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:80. Down in class and should improve over this distance.

Race 8 – 17:20
1200m – Next Vaal Racemeeting Thursday 4 November Classified Stakes
1 – Moya Wa LaLiga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Mrs Everest (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Barend Botes/Yolandie Vosloo
Jockey: Ryan Munger
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 12 (18 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He has come on since winning his last start. He does take on stronger company, but his trainer feels that he is the best horse in the race. Ryan Munger retains the ride and he has a strong each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Well-supported in both runs and has shown ability. Should be one of the leading contenders.
