Re: VAAL CLASSIC THURSDAY 15 DECEMBER 2022

Having a go today amid all the doom and gloom - seeing that Gauteng racing takes a back seat (again) over the weekend :dry:
R2: Tre Amici is overdue and does look hard to beat again; Full Go to follow him home while the first-timer Mother of Pearl could be anything
R3: This looks open - I think Tree Fairy is the value at current odds; again the first-timer Turnthebeataround is the unknown quantity
R4: Archimedes put up a good debut and the form has been franked - got to be slightly worried though as he started at 100/1 :ohmy: Fog Bank also made a good debut (beaten 1,75 lengths by East Coast who ran 2nd in the Victory Moon and 3rd in the Dingaans) - obvious chance even if needing the run a bit; Magic Prince tries a little further after a fair run last time, so could also improve more here; those 3 stand out imo
R5: Competitive handicap; all bar maybe La Luvia need consideration - so the value imo lies with the longer shots like Duke of Rain and Kill Shot, but if pushed for winner, I'd go for Meridius - two runners from the DIngaans formline came out to win impressively since, but he may be hard pushed to give weight away to some fair sorts
R6: Trust the Fire looks the part in a weak field; Looking Hot, Quick Run and Bridge of Spies the main dangers imo
R7: Very competitive F&M Handicap; not a lot between many of these at the weights, so I'm loading up - Blue Waters could be the surprise package
R8: Melech won a decent race last time and is finding a lot of market support; obvious chance, but I think he may be hard pressed to give 3kgs to Mescal
R9: Another tough race; if one looks at the 'best weighed' column, all the females feature, and some of them at very long odds, so I think value to be found with the likes of Ideal Future; safest options for the PA probably Raratonga Rose, but even The Inkosana does not seem out of it
Enjoy
