RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: VAAL CLASSIC@2026.10.29
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1700m, Turf, R75.000, 12:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Anything is possible in the first. KWAITO has some fair form and could win a race like this. OVER SENSIBLE had shown very little before running on late at TAB Turffontein last week and can go one better but that was a very weak race. CAMPO FORMIO has been unreliable so far but on his best form he can be a threat. ALL TIME LEGEND is probably best judged on his penultimate start but that was on a soft track. Watch the betting on the newcomers FIRE TO THE STARS and VIRGINGALACTIC but it will not be easy to score over this course and distance first time out.
Selections: #2 Kwaito, #6 Over Sensible, #1 Campo Formio, #3 All Time Legend
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R115.000, 12:35GMT+2
Race Summary: The word was out with CELERITAS before making her debut. She will have learnt from experience and should take a power of beating. COUNT OF CAPRI showed some improvement last week and can earn some more money. AU CONTRAIRE and CYRUS THE GREAT are making their debut but could be the best of the newcomers. CHIMICHURI’S DREAM and KINGFORADAY also make their debut and could make the frame.
Selections: #10 Celeritas, #3 Au Contraire, #4 Cyrus The Great, #11 Chimichuri’s Dream
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R110.000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: BEAUTIFUL ROSIE is improving and does look the right one for this. The Australian bred filly can go one better. ELEGANT EDGE is battling to win a race but can get involved with the finish yet again. FASCINATOR has only been modest of late but might play a minor role. SEACHTU REALTA put up an improved performance last time out and could have more to offer. DESERT DIAMOND was not disgraced on debut and could be a threat with improvement likely. SUN SEEKER did not show much on debut but is capable of improvement.
Selections: #7 Beautiful Rosie, #8 Desert Diamond, #1 Elegant Edge, #4 Fascinator
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1700m, Turf, R110.000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: THUNDERING HOOVES was slow away on her debut. She is likely to have learnt from that experience and could show vast improvement under Craig Zackey. LIFE AND LETTERS is threatening to win and may do it at this level. LEANNE’S LOVE has some fair form and could make the frame. LEVITATOR and TREX ON FIRE have only been moderate of late but are not out of it. So too, for that matter is KNOCKIN’ BOOTS who has tended to lack a strong finishing kick.
Selections: #12 Thundering Hooves, #1 Life And Letters, #2 Leanne’s Love, #3 Levitator
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R110.000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE has only had the four runs so far. She is capable of improvement and stepping up in distance looks the right way to go with her. HAT’S QUEEN has only been modest of late but is capable of better and could earn some money. Her stable companion ART NOUVEAU remains in very good shape and would not be a surprise winner. TOP SHELF TEDDY seems better than some moderate recent runs and could earn. FLYING WORLD is clearly better than her last run and is a threat. BOOM BOOM has a place chance if in the right mood.
Selections: #3 Onetwobucklemyshoe, #2 Art Nouveau, #6 Flying World, #7 Boom Boom
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100.000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: A tricky race and it might be worth going very wide in all the exotics, especially the Pick 6. Trainer Dianne Stenger holds a decent hand. BE MY FATE is in good form and could score. CHARIKLO is just as capable of winning a race like this but needs to show more resolve. PLAY WITH FIRE is unreliable but is capable of a surprise when she feels like it. LITTLEMISSSPLENDID might play a role in this class. NICCI’S LAW seems better than her last run and could earn some minor money. BRIGHT COMET, RED SPARROW, and UP AND UP have also done enough of late to be considered possible winners.
Selections: #7 Be My Fate, #5 Chariklo, #8 Bright Comet, #10 Red Sparrow
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: SECRET FATE returns from a break. She impressed on debut and receiving weight from all her rivals could be what swings it in her favour. AMERICAN BEAUTY is very consistent but does give weight to some rivals. A BIT OF CLASS hinted at a form return last time out and could have more to offer. FIRE IN HER SOUL tends to lack a strong finishing kick but might earn minor money. AZALEAS FOR ALL is in good form and should fight out the finish. ALTA CAPITANA showed a form return last time out and could go one place better.
Selections: #7 Secret Fate, #5 Alta Capitana, #4 Azaleas For All, #1 American Beauty
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: The biggest field of the day and a handicap, so tread lightly. DUKE OF LORRAINE is improving and has won his last two starts so can complete the hat-trick. EIFFEL TOWER is knocking very hard and his trainer has his runners at the top of their game. ZIP CODE has won two of his last three and cannot be ruled out. ONE STATE is well drawn and does look better than his last run would suggest. GIMMETHESPOTLIGHT is not well drawn but might run on late. AINT NO DOUBT, ROCK MY BOAT and recent maiden winner SKITT SMILING all have scope for improvement and must be respected.
Selections: #6 Duke Of Lorraine, #9 Eiffel Tower, #10 Rock My Boat, #3 One State
Vaal Classic, 29.10.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: A competitive last race. SERGEANT SOQRAT fought on gamely for a solid win last time out and is capable of doubling up. VAR PARK is capable of doing better and might surprise one of these days. MASTER’S LADY and ECHOES OF WAR both arrive for this after improved performances and must be respected. TIME WILL TELL has been consistent of late and should be right there at the finish yet again.
Selections: #3 Sergeant Soqrat, #5 Time Will Tell, #2 Master’s Lady, #4 Echoes Of War
Best Win: #10 CELERITAS
Best Value Bet: #3 ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE

Race 4 – 1 SERAPH GABRIEL
From the widest draw last start, he was pushed forward early to stalk the leader and fought on gamely to finish second, beaten only a neck over 1800m at Happy Valley. Prior to that, he also produced a strong on-pace effort to finish third first-up.
The rise to 2000m should suit, having finished a creditable fifth in the Hong Kong Derby over the trip five starts ago, and he looks set to play a key role.
Race 8 – 8 ROAD TO GLORY
After finishing a slashing second on debut, he produced a seemingly modest effort last start when running on only fairly to finish eighth over 1200m. However, recording the fastest final sectional suggests the run was better than it appears on paper, while the form has also since been franked.
Having won a recent trial with more positive tactics, he is expected to settle closer to the speed and could prove a value option.
Sectional Stars
Race 3 – 14 SMART FAT CAT
He resumed with an encouraging sixth over this track and distance two weeks ago, closing off strongly with the third fastest final sectional in 22.61 seconds. After placing five times from 15 starts, he looks capable of finally breaking through with added fitness second-up.
Race 5 – 12 NOBLE PATCH
An awkward start left him on the back foot early last time out, but he still finished off strongly to take sixth in a slowly run 1400m contest, clocking a sharp final sectional of 22.07 seconds. Facing a more manageable this week, he looks capable of making his presence felt and could represent some value.
O’Brien’s Futurity trio look to seal trainers’ title
Aidan O’Brien will saddle three of the seven runners in his pursuit of a 13th victory in the William Hill Futurity Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday.
Success in the final Group One of the season will go a long way to ensuring the master of Ballydoyle is crowned British champion trainer for a ninth time and he holds a strong hand, with hot favourite Noble Exhibit joined by stable companions Giant Sequoia and Sergei Diaghilev.
Noble Exhibit finished a promising third on his Curragh debut in August and has since impressed in winning at Punchestown and in the Group Two Beresford Stakes back at the Curragh four weeks ago.
Giant Sequoia won the Futurity Stakes in Ireland, but needs to bounce back from a disappointing run when only sixth in the National Stakes, with Sergei Diaghilev sent back into battle a fortnight after finishing a neck second to Rock Montreal in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket.
Andrew Balding relies on the once-raced Salisbury novice winner Gran Dia as he looks to keep his championship hopes alive.
Despite enjoying a Group One winner with Mount Atlas on British Champions Day at Ascot last weekend, the Kingsclere handler conceded the advantage in the title race to O’Brien.
However, Balding has also tasted notable success in Town Moor’s £275,000 contest thanks to Elm Park (2014) and Kameko (2019), and connections of Gran Dia are keen test their colt’s capabilities at the highest level before the season draws to a close.
Sean Graham, racing manager for Tony Bloom who owns the 380,000 guineas buy alongside Ian McAleavy, said: “After he won at Salisbury we discussed the options and in reality there is a shortage of races he could run in. They’ve been very happy with him at Andrew’s since Salisbury and the plan is to run.
“He’s a horse who has won a maiden going straight into a Group One and we’re under no illusions how difficult that will be, but we want to give him a second run before the end of the year and we’re short of options unless you wanted to travel with him.
“We’re going to be taking on battle-hardened two-year-olds who have runs under their belt and our fellow has only had one, so it will be very much a learning curve for him. But we hope he goes there and shows enough to think we can be dreaming with him over the winter.”
The pick of the home team appears to be Karl Burke’s dual Haydock winner and Royal Lodge runner-up Burning Up, while joint-trainer William Muir has made no secret of the regard in which he holds Breacher, who promises to be suited by the step up to a mile having finished third behind Desert Castle and Sergei Diaghilev in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster’s St Leger meeting.
The small but select field is completed by Al Hudaiba, who claimed his fourth win from six career starts in a Grade One at Woodbine last month.

Ka Ying To Continue His Attack on Sunday
In-form five-year-old gelding KA YING ATTACK looks capable of securing a fourth straight win despite meeting a strong field in the Group 2 Lukfook Jewellery Premier Bowl over 1200m at Sha Tin this Sunday.
KA YING ATTACK has shown marked improvement since scoring an emphatic Class 3 victory three starts ago, defying the rise in grade and overcoming wide draws to complete a hat-trick last time out. Drawn awkwardly in each of his last two outings, the son of Too Darn Hot showcased his tactical versatility by leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths before flashing home from near last to overhaul his rivals in fine style last start.
Although KA YING ATTACK rises to Group 2 company for the first time, he appears to be on an upward trajectory and must be considered a leading contender. Other runners with winning claims include RAGING BLIZZARD, COLOURFUL KING, COPARTNER PRANCE and AERIS NOVA.
After a narrow defeat last time out, promising five-year-old CIRCUIT CHAMPION looks primed to go one better in the Class 3 Handicap over 1400m at Sha Tin this Sunday.
Lightly raced for a five-year-old, CIRCUIT CHAMPION is already a two-time winner from just seven starts. The consistent gelding has missed the frame only once and his encouraging last-start effort suggests another win is not far away. Despite a slow tempo that favoured the leader, who was also the eventual winner, he charged home strongly to be beaten by only a head over this distance.
Standing out as the form choice in this week’s field, CIRCUIT CHAMPION looks a strong winning chance and is one to follow closely.
October 25 Selangor Preview By Mark Lydeamore
The two combatants which quinellaed the Selangor Mile in July are set for a return clash in the 1400m Supreme A contest (Race 5) at the Selangor Turb Club meeting on Sunday.
AQUITAINE was able to hold off FORTUNE TREE in the one-million-ringgit feature with a head separating the pair. However, FORTUNE TREE levelled the ledger at their next encounter when taking out the 1600m G1 Selangor Gold Cup on September 26 with AQUITAINE finishing an unlucky 4th, beaten 1.25L after a slow beginning. Both gallopers will meet on similar terms so far as the weights are concerned so another enthralling clash is expected from these talented individuals who both possess a stunning burst of acceleration. Both gallopers will more than likely clash in the 2000m G1 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor to be contested in December where FORTUNE TREE will be targeting a clean sweep of the Triple Crown Series this year. COME ON BANKER’S has done little wrong in four local appearances and the recent Class 2 winner is expected to be competitive. TRIDENT RISING remains unbeaten locally following successive Class 3 wins and looks well weighted with 54kg on the upgrade.
Australian-bred colt, LOYALTY BANKER’S looks the one to beat on exposed form in the 1250m Restricted Maiden (Race 6). Heavily backed into second favorite on debut, the Johnny Lim-trained three-year-old was far from disgraced finishing runner up to Navarre Crown here three weeks ago and should go one better come Sunday. MEGA UNIVERSE ran 5th in the same race but has shown ability in his two runs so far to suggest he will improve with race experience. PACIFIC SPLASH has been trialing well in recent weeks and is one to watch on debut for the Jason Ong camp.
Four-year-old mare ALL THE WAY NORTH justified her impressive trial form when breaking her maiden tag against Class 4 company over 1020m on September 27. Cruising to an effortless 3.5L victory, the Ooi Chin Chin-trained performer never seemed to change from second gear in what turned out to be a dominant display. She will face stiffer opposition this Sunday in the 1100m Class 3 (Race 7) and goes down 2kg in the weights with Jimmy Wong retaining the mount. NIMBUS STAR and DEFEATER are both honest campaigners and will be partnered by Y Aify and Randy Tan respectively for the first time. Like ALL THE WAY NORTH, both gallopers are looking to break through in this grade.
Three-year-old gelding STRATEGISE looks a promising type judging by his two recent victories and wil prove hard to beat again in the 1300m Max Two Stakes (Race 8). STRATEGISE was completely unwanted in the market when defeating subsequent winner Navarre Crown in a 1200m Restricted Maiden on debut and showed that win was no fluke by accounting for a Class 4 lineup over 1275m two weeks later. Oddly enough this will be Jimmy Wong’s first ride for successful owner KK Yee and it could be a winning one of STRATEGISE can achieve the winning hat trick. CONGRATULATEBANKER, placed four times from five runs in the country is overdue for a win and is coming off a last start 2nd behind SECTION EIGHTEEN, which scored from the seven-day backup at huge odds.
Zackey, Peter hold the aces at TAB Turffontein
Saturday’s nine-race TAB Turffontein Standside card looks finely poised, with several competitive contests on the programme.
But two of the meeting’s leading figures appear to hold the aces, with reigning Equus Champion Jockey Craig Zackey and trainer Tony Peter both boasting strong hands and realistic chances of landing three winners apiece.
Zackey should get the ball rolling in Race 1 aboard Sean Tarry-trained Storm Cyclone, a three-year-old Pathfork gelding who showed plenty of improvement from his first to his second outing when finishing an unlucky third over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on 21 September.
Storm Cyclone stumbled leaving the starting stalls that day and was subsequently found to have been cut into on his left fore. Despite those setbacks, he clocked the fastest 400m-to-finish sectional and was beaten by just 1.75 lengths.
Back over 1600m and making his Highveld debut, Tarry’s charge should not need to improve much to open his account.
Peter’s The Ultimate King could then make it two for the champion jockey in Race 3 over 2000m. The five-year-old son of Vercingetorix returns from a well-deserved 168-day break after enjoying a highly productive 2025-26 campaign.
He won the Grade 3 Victory Moon Handicap over 1800m on the Standside track before going on to place at Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 level during a productive four-year-old season.
The Ultimate King returns as a five-year-old, and the booking of Zackey bodes well for his chances. A Summer Cup entry, he will be one to follow closely as preparations begin to ramp up with just five weeks to go before the 2026 Betway Grade 1 Summer Cup.
If The Ultimate King is ready to fire first time out, the champion jockey could be back in the winner’s enclosure.
Zackey, who dominates the early part of the card, could strike for the third time in Race 4 when he reunites with Tarry-trained Perfect Sky over 1000m.
Smart sprinters Trejanus and Alpine Jet are obvious dangers, but both have been rested for lengthy periods, whereas Perfect Sky has already had a comeback run. That outing should have tightened her up, although she was found to be coughing post-race.
The fact that Zackey retains the ride is encouraging, and with the benefit of a season pipe-opener under her belt, Perfect Sky should strip fitter and be capable of significant improvement.
Peter’s chances of completing a treble resume in Race 5 over 2400m, where Wings Of Desire stayer Euphrates looks the one to beat under Kabelo Matsunyane. The five-year-old has maintained his form and consistency at this level recently and should be involved in the finish.
Peter then saddles a competitive coupling in Race 6, although preference is for top-weight Captain Selvie, a four-year-old daughter of Captain Of All with a solid record over the 1160m course and distance.
She returns from a 16-week absence after an unsuccessful trip to KZN, where she finished unplaced on the Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack. That effort is easy enough to forgive, however, and she returns to familiar surroundings over a track and trip that suits.
With regular rider Calvin Habib back aboard, everything points towards Captain Selvie bouncing back to form.

Alan Greeff has a way with the fillies
Trainer Alan Greeff, who enjoyed success in Sunday’s Algoa Cup at TAB Fairview, can continue his good form at the course this Friday.
It may pay to follow him with fillies Say A Prayer in Race 5, Fantine in Race 7 and Rock Me Mama in Race 8. All three arrive on the back of victories last time out.
Say A Prayer contests a MR 67 Handicap over 1000m. The three-year-old daughter of Real Gone Kid was last seen in May, when she narrowly beat the decent Carnival. That rival has won three times since and remains a sprinter to follow.
Say A Prayer had finished third on debut, behind stable companion and two-time winner This Or That. Her victory over Carnival was hard-fought, but it was significant that current rider Richard Fourie was aboard for the first time. He will have learnt plenty from that ride.
It was also Say A Prayer ‘s first taste of the Polytrack, and from a favourable draw, she can follow up.
Stable companion Fantine took eight starts to break her maiden, but she is improving and fought on gamely to win on Sunday. The four-year-old daughter of Hawwaam has incurred a two-point penalty, but she could follow up in this MR 90 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m.
It is worth noting that Fourie was aboard when she finished eighth over an inadequate 1200m on his first ride, and he has won on her in each of his next two starts.
Rafeef filly Rock Me Mama was a bitter disappointment when unplaced at a very short price in May, but she has strengthened up since then and has won two of her last three starts. Those victories include a MR 66 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m on the TAB Fairview Polytrack.
She can double up over the same course and distance, but Fourie will need to overcome a wide draw.
