How about Scoop e/w at 25/1?

The trainer would smell of perfume if he fell in the Vaal River

What's happening to the BP today - nothing offered on WSB ... :huh:

WHORLY WHORLY stable cold but consistent drop in ratings this year - 4pts since last run where only 2.5L behind - ew in tough field.
BEFORE THE DAWN 100% earnings from4 this C/d- Ew in this class
GREEN PLAINS hesitantly as the track running fast and she runs late but has a good record this class.
WHIPPING BOY drop in rating and 4kg off - appeals ew and as a 4 fixed place bet.
FORTUNA DORO hope he goes handy - respect SEVENTH OF JUNE down 7 points for 2 runs this year
ARRAN 4 fixed places
THUMBS UP gives a line on Eric The Red and Cape Juvs - nice form

VAAL SELECTIONS, FORMGUIDES AND PERMUTATIONS

David Thiselton

The Vaal Classic track stages a competitive nine race meeting today with the highlight being a Mr 102 handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m.

Paul Peter is still on cloud nine after Summer Pudding landed the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara on Saturday and another three-year-old filly, Fly Away, can put him back in the winner's enclosure in the aforementioned race. This filly has speed and a good action and loves it when the ground is on top, which was not the case in her last start after some seasonal rain. She will get the fast ground she is looking for today and can beat Green Plains, who has recently bounced back to something close to the classy speedster she once was. Mademoiselle is in good form and has a sustained finish so should be in the shake up too. Those three have been chosen to get punters through the Pick 6 and Jackpot and Fly Away has been made a Place Accumulator banker. However, the risk averse could also consider including three others who are capable of winning on their day in both the Pick 6 and Jackpot. They are All Of Me, Nawaasi and Winter Watch.

FORMGUIDES

Preview: SINGLE RED ROSE (3) has plenty of pace and has been knocking on the door. INCOGNITO (1) improved to finish a narrow second to a fair sort last time over 1200m and showed pace. TIME HAS COME ( was not disgraced last time over this trip and can improve again. (David Thiselton 3-1-

Preview: THUMBS UP (12) finished just 2,40 lengths behind the classy Erik The Red in the last of three good runs in Cape Town. ACCOMPLISHED (1) showed speed in both starts over 800m late last year. VALYRIAN KING (10) was disappointing last time but went too fast and with a more conservative ride will be right there. (David Thiselton 12-1-10)

R5

Preview: THEREVADA (7) showed promise early in his career and now off a merit rating which has dropped to competitive 69 he has Lerena up from pole position over a suitable trip. WAQAAS (6) is ideally distance suited but has a tricky draw to overcome. STRADA STATALE ( will be dangerous if able to get to the front from a wide draw under a 1,5kg claimer. (David Thiselton 7-6-

R6

Preview: KAPAMA (9) has come into her own and can make it two wins from her last three starts over this suitable trip. TYRUS EXPRESS (4) has been in good form and will run well fresh over this trip. WHIPPING BOY (2) is distance suited and well drawn with a 4kg claimer up off a merit rating which has dropped to a competitive level. (David Thiselton 9-4-2)

R7

Preview: FLY AWAY (1) will relish the fast ground after having to contend with ground that was not on top last time. GREEN PLAINS (2) has bounced back to form and should be right there. MADEMOISELLE ( is also in good form and this speedster should be staying on strongly. (David Thiselton 1-2-

R8

Preview: RAINBOW HAZE (3) has struck as one with plenty of scope and could have benefited from the layoff. OCEAN CITY (4) has plenty of pace and will be a threat on the expected fast ground. HERSTEL ( ran well in his only start after his debut win and can improve again. (David Thiselton 3-4-

R9

Preview: GALACTIC WARRIOR (9) is speedy and consistent. BATTLEOFTRAFALGAR ( has the ability to go close. ICE EATER (11) also has a form chance. (David Thiselton 9-8-11)
