After Saturday Results don't think too many will be running to take 4/10 on Buffalo Storm Cody in the 1st , Cymric run to Mount Pinatubo looks very decent and this is Def the value in the race

Vaal 9/4/23

Racing today has been moved from the Vaal main track , to the Vaal Classic Track.

This moves takes place after gallops this morning , and it was unanimously agreed , the Classic Track is raceable while the Vaal Main Track was inconsistent.

Unfortunately , it’s currently overcast and there is a possibility of further rainfall which could jeopardise the move, but we are giving the meeting the best possible chance to go ahead and according to our weather app , it should start to clear up from 11am.

Distance Changes as follows :
Races 6,7,8 will now be run over 1450m:
All other distances remain as is.

Voluntary scratchings close at 8:30.

Race times remain as is.

It will be soft (or even heavy) for sure - depending on more rain I don't think the meeting will go ahead; interesting though that some runners have been scratched due to a 'change of track' - would have thought that 1000m on the óld track is the same (down the straight) as 1000m on the Classic track

Probably more about the going than the track.
