Seventh Rule primed for victory
THE Vaal Outside track meeting tomorrow is low key but there could be one or two good opportunities for punters. In race 5 over 1400m Pachanga looks set to get off the mark. She cracked bad draws in her first four starts on the Highveld but has gone close in her last three starts over this sort of trip.
She took well to blinkers last time and was a touch unlucky as she had to take evasive action when a horse went amiss.
She is no great shakes but faces an uninspiring field here and it is down the straight so she shouldn’t be inconvenienced by her middle draw.
The two first-timers, Bel Canto Chorus by Philanthropist and Oona by Duke Of Marmalade were both relatively cheap purchases but the betting should be monitored as there is not much to beat in this field.
Our Biscuit has run some fair races but would probably prefer a bit further.
Elangeni has run two fair races in her last two over 1500m and 1400m respectively but has made breathing noises in the past.
In the first leg if the Pick 6 over 1400m Seventh Rule could run them off their feet in the expected fast conditions.
He has never raced beyond 1160m so there is a stamina doubt but he stands out in terms of ability.
Camel Walk has been disappointing in his last two starts but on debut over 1600m got going late so he should enjoy this trip and he has the ability to upset.
Money Matters is improving and has Strydom up over a trip he should enjoy as he has not been finding a lot from handy positions over 1600m.
A fillies and mare MR 84 handicap is the highest rated race and Braxton should relish the step up in trip. She is in good form, having gone close over 1400m last time.
Noceur has always struck as one with ability and she was not at all disgraced last time against the useful Emily Jay.
She has a low draw which used to be unfavourable on this track but these days it is difficult to predict where the going will be.
Teenage Dream has shown tremendous improvement this season and ran in features in her last two starts.
Before that she finished just two lengths behind Al Danza over 1500m and the latter went on to finish a close second in the Grade 1 Empress Club Stakes.
Make Me Happy looked at one stage to be on her way to better things but her last start was most disappointing. If bouncing back to her best she will be a big runner.
Zulu Dawn improved with blinkers last time and comfortabnly reversed previous form with Make Me Happy. She was unlucky in her only start over this trip and has claims.
Hafla disappointed in that same race but was found to be coughing. She is capable of running on well and could earn.
Comme-Ci-Comme-Ca’s last two wins have been when held up over 1400m and running on strongly and she might be ready to step up to this trip.
