The Vaal plays host to today’s local racemeeting with an eight-race programme carded on the Classic course.
The first is due off at 12h40, please remember to get your selections in for the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge at least 5 minutes before the first is off.
Ryan Munger takes the ride on Tana Maree in the first (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Trainer Sean Tarry sends out Tana Maree in Race 1 and she should give punters a good start to the day.
She stayed on after a slow start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. The daughter of Trippi is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe.
If getting away on terms, she should take a power of beating in this line-up. Jockey Ryan Munger takes the ride.
Beamonesque from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable may be the horse to close the meeting.
He stayed on at the finish over 1000m on this course last time.
The son of Rafeef takes a drop in class and should be cherry-ripe.
He jumps from a good draw of two and in this field, he can return to winning ways.
