Vaal Race 7 - Next Vaal Racemeeting Thursday 30 July Work Riders Mdn Plate

BEACH WALKER (1) Ran 5th last run here. Expecting improvement here but coming back in distance. Rates well in this race. GLASTONBURY FIRE (5) Came in 5th last run at Turffontein. Looking for an improved run and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Rates a winning chance. A ROMAN TWIST (6) Lacked competitiveness when 6th last run at Turffontein but was a debutant last start. Jockey Phenisile Mongqawa and trainer A P Peter have shared plenty of success together. Could work into the placings. STEEL SPRING (9) Underperformed when 12th last run at Turffontein. Jockey S Mosia is a plus. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Exotics and place chance.

Odds of $11.00 and came in 4th last start at Turffontein. Likely to be well placed early. First start for a new trainer. Has struggled so far this preparation. Knockout chance.

Jumped at $10.00 and ran 5th last run at Turffontein. Looking for an improved run and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Expected to be competitive.

Started at $19.00 and not competitive when 6th last run at Turffontein but was on debut last time. Phenisile Mongqawa and A P Peter are a proven combination. Small possibility.

At $41.00 disappointing run when 4th last time at Turffontein but will appreciate a good barrier. Watch betting.

Resuming after a break. Started $29.00 and disappointing outing when 15th last start at the track but fitter for debut run. Drawn nicely. Not hopeless.

Subpar when 12th last run at Turffontein. S Mosia is a key booking. Does take a while to get into stride. Keep safe for trifectas.
