The Vaal Tuesday

Discuss Tuesdays racing below

I think Midnight Serenade should be too good for those even though the Drier horse may be the dark horse.

Pylon should win

I think Red Jet in Race 1 should have at least a place chance in that weak field.

Happy punting!!

Quite like Rebel Queen in the last, her run behind Eagle High was above her rating and if she reproduces that run should be a runner.

Does anyone know why Pretorious is riding the 2 Spies horses on the day and Naude seems to be on the 2nd choice in the 8th?

Thanks, according to Computaform Naude is 52kg but that would make sence.

Could be weight, but also Pocket Magic has the better draw and Rebel Queen is under sufferance ? Of the two, I prefer PM.

O well scrap that - Pocket Magic has been scratched

Frodo could be the case but Rebel Queen was 17 pounds under sufference with Eagle High and only lost by 2 lenghts so on that run probably ran to an 83 or 84. Looking at Variety Show she is 5kg's better off and beat VS by 3,25 lenghts. If she could have been penalised for that run I am sure she wouldn't be off a 71 anymore so the sufference doesn't worry me, just the favorite getting over from the draw.

Well spotted - but the Eagle High form line is confusing imo - if both Lusikisiki and Twilight Elba ran to their ratings, RQ ran to a 74 imo, so that would mean that she would not be under sufferance today - I'm also worried about the favorite drawn wide at 14 - but not much else in the race imo - maybe Arabian Storm from a good draw ?
