Romi’s Boy looks good for punters

- DAVID THISELTON

THE Vaal Inside track meeting tomorrow looks to be competitiv­e at first sight but on closer inspection there could be one or two good opportunit­ies for punters.

The highest rated race on the card is a MR 92 handicap over 1 200m. Romi’s Boy is a progressiv­e son of Querari who has come to hand since being gelded at the beginning of the year. In his last start over this trip on the Turffontei­n Inside track he showed good gate speed and pace and beat a decent field hands and heels by 5,75 lengths.

He is well drawn again tomorrow and can follow up off a likely capped merit rating, as he was given the maximum six for that last plate race win. Angel’s Power won going away over 1 000m in her last start and over this suitable trip could be a threat from a good draw with Anthony Delpech up.

The first leg of the P A is a Middle Stakes event over 2 400m and B Twenty One will be hard to peg back.

She is a decent up and coming stayer going for a hattrick and is the best in at the weights. She has a tricky draw, so for Pick 6 purposes Fortune Fella and Consequent­ially could be considered.

Fortune Fella is an honest stayer with a fair turn of foot and he could use the latter to the maximum from a good draw over a suitable trip.

Consequent­ially is a well-bred sort who is only 0,5kg under sufferance with B Twenty One and is drawn in pole. She will be out to prove she stays this trip, having won well over 2 000m before, but having failed in her only attempt at this trip.
