Racing is at the Vaal for an eight-race programme this afternoon and it looks to be competitive.
The first race is off at 12h40.
Jimmy The Rich writes that Shadow Creek ran a very good race when taking on winners over the mile on the Turffontein Inside course last time.

He moved up like a winner that day, but was caught in the latter stages.
The son of Captain Al drops back to maiden company this afternoon under Luke Ferraris and should be too good for this field.
Lass Going West has fair form to her credit. She stayed on well at the finish in her last start over a mile at Turffontein.
She gets the cheek pieces fitted for the first time today, which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She doesn’t meet the strongest field and carries a handy galloping mass of just 52kgs.
The daughter of Captain Of All will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the wire.
The false rail is set at zero on the back straight and bend, with a 2m spur at the 800m mark. False rails will be zero from the 1600m outside rails to the pull-up area
