Winning Form Vaal on Tuesday Punters Challenge preview  is available here

Unfortunately Tuesday's meeting at the Vaal has been abandoned (rain)

Winning Form Durbanville on Wednesday Punters Challenge preview  is available here

Not sure how it's drying up at the Vaal after Tuesday's meeting was abandoned but if they do race on Thursday  here is the Winning Form preview

There's a nice feature at Greyville on Friday night, will take a look at the card. Here are the Winning Form previews for Friday's double header

at Fairview  

and then Greyville

Later races at Greyville on Friday night, need to keep reminding myself its a mixed poly and turf meeting

R5 Probably stick with the fav Acacia's Blossom with Zackey up, hit the post in last 3 starts and the first 2 of those were on poly in races similar in strength to this. Sanbeenee is one I've followed before and might also run into the money

R6 Greyville experience a pointer to Quickstepgal but whilst Tina Lovelace looks to have gone off the boil she has put in a couple of very useful runs at Greyville over this trip and if back to best cold be a factor with just 54kg - places on the Tarry filly. 

R7 Wild Justice not much of a price at around 33/20 right now but looks the right one to me with draw 1, Murray riding and 54kg

Forgot R8 at Geyville on Friday night, form suggests she's a poly horse and this is a turf race but MrsGlitterSparkles has plenty of weight turnarounds in her favour and grass runs aren't too shabby

cheers chris.

first one i've spotted from quick glance at card - 

R2 BRIGHT BLUE @ 5/1. Left all at sea last time out on debut but finished strongly, expecting a better run today, decent enough draw and think can reverse formline of favourite.

 

one i think is well overpriced - R8 JAZZ CAFE @ 18/1 ew. there's been a jockey change, i assume murray has to dash for a flight, but will still have an ew nibble, horse loves this course.

Cheers South, been some rough results at Fairview by the look of it, lets see how we go tonight.

Saturday's meeting at Turffontein has been switched to the Vaal due to rain in Joburg, could well be quite a few scratchings, Winning Form Punters Challenge preview  is available here



 

got stakes back on bright blue with evens a place. was trying to find anything else to add for other races but will save for tomorrow.

 

Vaal Race 5, Lead the Charge looks weighted to go close, currently around 5/1, hard to believe 580 or so days since last win

Race 6 A Hail Mary on Pretty Analia, bottom weight, better form is over more than a mile, couple of wins in the wet and at 33/1 an each way play

Race 8, tempted to take a chance that Fiery Rose has more to show us after an impressive comeback win in softish going last time out

Race 9 Kia Kaha, another who has gone ages without a win. hasn't really been threatening but MR continues to sink and has been running in stronger races, 

Top win from Fiery Rose, hit the post with Lead The Charge and no show from the other 2 on Saturday. Not going to get chance to play Greyville on Sunday but the Winning form Punters Challenge preview  is available here

 

Nice one fiery rose Chris!

a few quick ones today -

G4  Cardinal Chief @ 16/1 ew.
yard starting to hit some form and l like stronger jockey change.

G8 Fair Advantage @ 9/1 ew.
old boy now but still racing well and jock is one of the good string of up and coming 4kg claim appies.

G9 Darlingbudsodmay 33/1 ew
 Throwing this one in on fact she has most scope to improve against some very average older horses. Jockey also an apple I rate massively. 

 

Cheers South, had a bit of time just before heading out,

Greyville R7 Imperial Power at 7/1, looking at weight turnarounds on Gallop with Gotta Go Eddie the fav from 12th October and must be a runner, that was turf and its poly today but IP also goes well on this surface.

R8 With South on Fair Advantage for all the same reasons plus has finally cracked a decent draw for the first time ages. 

another top call imperial power chris.

cruel blow for me on my 16/1 shot. finished like a stream train, thought he'd got up but beaten by a nostril.
