Noble Secret is a good bet

THE Sansui Summer Cup meeting is, hopefully, a good memory for those tackling the low key eight race card at the Vaal tomorrow.

The highest rated race is a MR 82 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1 200m and just about the whole of the seven horse field will have to be included because a number of them are returning from layoffs.

Only To Win almost beat Neptune’s Rain as a youngster when setting the pace over this trip.

She looks likely to appreciate the step back to this trip.

Movie Show caused a shock two runs ago in a Progress Plate over 1 000m when beating the like of Wrecking Ball, despite being way under sufferance.

She was plugging on in that run and in her third run after a layoff will be one of the fittest horses, so could possibly see it out.

Frederico’s Dream had fine form over this trip as a two-year-old.

This isn her seasonal reappearance and she could certainly get away with it over a sprint.

Top weight Magicality makes her seasonal reappearance and can earn on best form.

Fish River has a comfortable win over subsequent Gr2 1 400m winner Desert Rhythm over 1 000m to her name so she can make her presence felt if bouncing back from her SA Fillies Nursery run, where she had an unfavourable low draw.

This is her first run for 206 days.

Star Profile was five lengths ahead of Fish River in the SA Fillies Nursery, albeit from a favourable high draw.

She had a busy juvenile campaign and returns from a long layoff.

Melinda’s Garden, meanwhile, is a nice sort but has made respiratory noises and has poor form since her maiden win.

The best bet of the day comes in the seventh, a MR 79 Handicap over 1 600m.

Noble Secret has his second run of the season and on pedigree this Dynasty colt, out of an Al Mufti mare whose two wins were over 1 450m and 1 600m, will very much appreciate the step up to this trip.

His maiden win showed him to be possible classic class and he will be out to prove it here.

Raydaveric is starting to fulfil his potential since gelding and could be the chief threat.

Copper Pot has his third run after gelding over a suitable trip and has shown a fine turn of foot before so can go close off a reduced merit rating.
