Vaal Outside Thursday

Discuss the card below

Just Africa ran a cracker on Saturday in a strong field. Has 4kgs off his back with a quality appy aboard. If allowed to get away could be very hard to peg back. Just hope the race hasn't come to soon. Looks a good bet for the day.

Shrek, I was about to suggest the same horse, Just Africa, 15/10 is a big price in this field, especially when one looks back to it's last three runs. Best bet on the card for me.

To cut a long story short, in the Feature run on the 16/04, Just Africa was the lowest rated horse in that field and ran a very creditable second. A repeat of that run should see Just Africa in the winners enclosure.

Actually think the trainer/jockey combination can pull off the double with Urgent Fury in the 7th. Not as bullish as Just Africa, but worth a go. Did a Dutching double with Man's Inn.

Bayern managed to grab some 22/10 on WSB.

I still think it is. The 4kgs off the back makes a massive difference.

Not only that, I don't believe the immediate market rival, Duke Nukem, is running to it's rating of 86. If I am correct, then it is already carrying more weight than necessary? Maybe Robbie, Frodo, etc, the guys who do their own ratings, will be kind enough and let us have their rating of Duke Nukem.

With my own dippy system, I am embarrassed to tell you what I make it, so I'm hoping someone will put forward their rating, thanks in advance guys,

I can't see Just Africa in front of Rafa

Just Africa ran about 2,8 lengths ahead of Delighted
Rafa thrashed Delighted by at least 10 !

You are correct I'm In, I will put that run down to the second run after the rest syndrome and dragging an anchor of 62.0kgs. To finish 2.6 lengths off was a fair effort considering he conceded weight all round. Just Africa actually started 13/10 that day (the Delighted race).

As a matter of interest, see what Just Africa did to Gun Fighter on Saturday (16/04), and then see what Gun Fighter did to Rafa. I don't buy into those arguments, but seeing that you brought it up, it's only fair we apply the same reasoning. I'm not sure Rafa can concede that weight to Just Africa, and dish out a beating. We'll know tomorrow at about 13H00.

I don't like comparing Turffontein runs when they running at the vaal

You can't just wish something away when it suits. Your fancy is 2 from 9 course and distance, my fancy is 2 from 3.

Let's see what result the race produces.

I hardly play win and less seldom without seeing them first but if im betting today I would rather be with Rafa to place at 12/10 then a win chance at 15/10
