Habib, De Kock to strike on Vaal Classic course
Tuesday’s nine-race Vaal Classic meeting may lack feature-race status, but it presents punters with a competitive card packed with betting opportunities. Strong representation from the Fabian Habib and Mike and Mathew de Kock yards could prove key, while Marco van Rensburg and Callan Murray hold several notable rides.
Fabian Habib could strike early with Samuel Sharpe in the opening 1800m maiden. The Flower Alley gelding has steadily improved and was not entirely comfortable over 2000m last time when chasing home a useful rival. First-time blinkers are applied, often a significant move from this stable, and only slight improvement may be needed for him to break through.
The De Kock team counters strongly in Race 2 with Staggerwing, who brings solid juvenile form into the 1000m contest. The daughter of Rafeef returns from an 80-day break after contesting Listed company and now drops into much calmer waters. Her early form suggests she has above-average speed, and Callan Murray, who has partnered her in all three starts, retains the ride.
Marco van Rensburg’s first leading chance comes in Race 4 aboard Cartagena. Heather Adamson’s mare caught the eye when finishing strongly into third over 2000m in her comeback run and now steps up to 2400m, a move likely to suit the five-year-old perfectly. She should strip fitter and meets a modest staying field, making her a lively each-way contender.
Race 6 looks more competitive, but Rock My Boat has claims despite a difficult draw. The Chris Jonker-trained gelding finally shed his maiden tag at the 15th attempt, though his consistency suggested the win had been overdue. He now enters handicap company carrying top weight over 1800m, but this field lacks depth and further improvement is possible.
The De Kock-Murray combination reappears in Race 7 with Sosoru, one of the strongest contenders on the card. The son of Vercingetorix has won his last two starts in front-running fashion and now chases a hat-trick despite dropping back to 1000m and rising in grade. An eight-point penalty makes life tougher, but in-form speedsters are always dangerous around the Vaal.
Habib could have the final word in Race 8 with Catfish, who may offer excellent value. The Danon Platina gelding did too much too early in a sales race last time before fading late, but the return to 1000m is ideal. His sprint form prior to that effort was solid, and apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson’s claim further strengthens his chances.

Snaith to predict the future
Cape Town’s winter feature season often uncovers progressive three-year-olds, and Future Free looks poised to continue his rise in Sunday’s Listed Pocket Power Stakes over 1950m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
A half-brother to reigning Horse of the Year Eight On Eighteen, Future Free may not yet possess the same class, but he is clearly improving. The Justin Snaith-trained colt finished an encouraging third in the Listed Legal Eagle Stakes over 1800m, just over two lengths behind La Pulga, and shapes as though this longer trip will suit perfectly. Still lightly raced and only three years old, he appears to have plenty of improvement to come. Andrew Fortune takes the ride.
Snaith also saddles Prairie Dawn, an intriguing contender with significant upside. The lightly raced gelding showed courage to squeeze through a narrow gap and score at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. This is a sharp rise in class, but his trainer clearly holds him in high regard and a bold showing would not surprise.
Otto Luyken, another Hollywoodbets Durban July nominee, was not far behind Future Free in the Legal Eagle Stakes and should appreciate the extra distance. On his best form, he remains a serious threat.
The supporting card offers several promising betting opportunities.
In Race 1, Aquae Calidae should improve on his eye-catching debut second behind Kalahari King, despite a wide draw.
Race 2 features the well-related Spinnaker, who caught the eye finishing strongly on debut behind The Cullinan. The step up to 1400m looks ideal.
Signor Dante drops sharply in class in Race 3 after taking on stronger rivals such as Note To Self, Prairie Dawn and Future Free. The shorter trip is the main concern.
Lava Strike appeals in Race 4 after a much-improved second and has Richard Fourie in the saddle.
Moody Blue has solid recent form and may prove the one to beat in Race 5 if effective over 1200m.
Eric Liddell is on the upgrade and looks a leading contender in Race 6 after an authoritative latest victory.
Charlie Bucket remains a maiden, but three consecutive runner-up finishes suggest his turn is near. The step up to 1600m in Race 8 could finally see him break through.

Change of fortune for Asiye Phambili
Hollywoodbets Scottsville stages its renowned Festival of Speed on Saturday, featuring four elite 1200m contests that rank among the highlights of the South African racing season. Although the Allan Robertson Championship and Golden Horse Sprint are now Grade 2 events, the quality remains exceptional.
The Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint appears the headline act, with star mares Double Grand Slam and Asiye Phambili renewing their rivalry. Both have unfinished business in this race. Double Grand Slam endured traffic issues when beaten just over a length into sixth last year, while Asiye Phambili was narrowly denied after appearing to hit the front too late.
Justin Snaith’s champion mare returns after consecutive Gr1 victories over 1600m and drops back to sprinting, while Asiye Phambili arrives off a dominant course-and-distance win that could give her the edge. Sean Tarry’s Mia Moo, last year’s winner, also commands respect after finishing third against males in the Gr1 Computaform Sprint. These three dominate the betting in what promises to be a thrilling renewal.
The Gr1 Gold Medallion has attracted a select field of nine, headed by Vaughan Marshall’s unbeaten colt Rich Man’s World. The son of Rafeef has won all three starts in emphatic style, including an impressive Gr3 Godolphin Barb Stakes victory over this course. He sets a high standard.
Two unbeaten rivals add intrigue: Mike and Mathew de Kock’s Haute Couture, a runaway debut winner at Turffontein, and Sean Tarry’s Egremont, who impressed on debut at the Vaal. Both are open to significant improvement.
The Gr2 Golden Horse Sprint is a fiercely competitive handicap, but Jeremusalema Rain appeals after defeating Buffalo Storm Cody last time and carrying just 53.5kg. Stablemate Cosmic Speed is closely matched and meets him on slightly better terms. Defending champion Tenango is worth considering, while Taxi To The Moon steps up in class after a solid Greyville win.
The Gr2 Allan Robertson Championship is equally competitive. Querari Dancer impressed in the Strelitzia Stakes on her KwaZulu-Natal debut and has the advantage of proven Scottsville form. Flower Island, unbeaten in two starts for the de Kock yard, rates a major threat.
Sean Tarry’s quartet all merit respect, while Ferrari Flair, Palace Of Arvernia and Eastern Cape raider Ventura Boulevard add further depth to a superb juvenile contest.

Zackey, Van Rensburg hold Vaal Aces
Thursday’s nine-race meeting at Vaal Racecourse offers several attractive betting opportunities, with the jockey bookings of championship leader Craig Zackey and Marco van Rensburg standing out.
Zackey, closing in on his first National Jockeys’ Championship, looks well placed to strike early aboard Snap Your Fingers in the opener. The Sean Tarry-trained daughter of Futura was a well-supported favourite when taking on winners over 1600m after a promising debut second. Dropping back to 1400m and returning to maiden company should suit, and she appears the day’s first banker.
Van Rensburg has a strong chance to get on the board in Race 4 with Highwayman Harry. The Dianne Stenger-trained son of Hawwaam has produced two runner-up finishes in his last three starts, including a solid effort over this course and distance. With experience and a favourable draw on his side, he looks ready to break through.
Race 5 could provide Zackey with another winner aboard Damova. Joe Soma’s tough seven-year-old mare has an excellent record over the Vaal’s 2400m, with two wins from three starts at the trip. She reunites with Zackey, with whom she has already won three times, and meets Futurewolff on 1kg better terms after finishing behind that rival last time.
One of Zackey’s strongest rides may come in Race 6 on Ringa Ringa Roses. The Lucky Houdalakis-trained filly has been admirably consistent and now steps up to 1600m, a move that looks likely to bring out further improvement. This is her peak run after a rest and she should be hard to beat if seeing out the extra distance.
Van Rensburg’s later rides also warrant respect. In Race 7, Falconfly returns from a 10-week break after an impressive front-running victory over 1800m. Despite a seven-point penalty, the lightly raced filly still appears progressive and can continue her rise.
The final race sees Van Rensburg partner Golden Aspen, a mare he knows exceptionally well. The pair have combined for eight wins and numerous placings. Dropping in class off a slightly lower mark, the Corne Spies-trained mare looks capable of finishing the meeting on a winning note.
With Zackey and Van Rensburg holding powerful books, Thursday’s Vaal card should provide punters with plenty of opportunities.
Clive RobinsonChasing Gold makes a bold bid
Boogie with de Melo
A rain-affected card at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Tuesday should provide competitive racing and several strong betting opportunities, with soft underfoot conditions likely to play a key role.
The standout selection is Boogiefied in Race 5 over 1400m. The Andre Nel-trained gelding has an excellent record on soft and yielding ground, with two wins and six placings from eight starts in such conditions. He was a solid second to Major Master over 1600m last time and is ideally suited by this drop back in trip. With Keagan de Melo aboard, Boogiefied looks the one to beat.
Main dangers include Soho Heartthrob, who continues to improve for Dean Kannemeyer, and Pay The Palace, whose form against stronger opposition makes him a major contender. Please Be True should strip fitter after a promising comeback run.
Race 8 over 1000m features several speedsters, but preference is for Demanding Dave, who reunites with Andrew Fortune. The pair are unbeaten in three starts together, and the Mike Stewart-trained sprinter was unlucky when meeting traffic problems in the Easter Sprint. He looks capable of returning to winning ways.
Earlier on the card, Snowbird and In Hot Water appear the standout contenders in Race 1, while Rubee King is expected to improve sharply in Race 2 after a promising but green debut. Redford is the obvious danger.
Rabdan gets the nod in Race 3, having contested stronger juvenile company, while Redlight Lane is selected to finally break through in Race 4 after an unlucky defeat last time.
Trainer Piet Botha’s yard has returned to form and could strike with Baton Rouge in Race 6 after a strong recent second over 1800m. Stablemate Shifting Path looks well placed to follow up in Race 7, particularly if the track remains testing.
The closing event is wide open, but veteran Fort Red would be a popular winner. The eight-year-old has amassed eight victories from 83 starts and remains competitive in this grade.
With several runners well suited to wet conditions, Tuesday’s Kenilworth card promises close finishes and attractive betting opportunities for punters.

Unraced Master Of My Fate filly TRICKLE CHARGE represents the Alan Greeff-Richard Fourie team and could score on debut. MISS HONEY BEE made some late progress on her debut and could improve on that.

Race Summary: A tricky race as a lot of them are open to improvement after changing trainers and there are some nicely bred newcomers. TURBULENT has been backed to win both his local starts and could make amends for those losses going back to the grass this time. HERE COMES JOHNNY returns from a short break but is consistent. EUGENIUS, RIP WHEELER, SCENTED PATH and SOUNDSOFSYMPHONIES are all capable of improvement on local debut. PRETTY BOY finished strongly last time out and would not be a surprise winner.

Race Summary: GREEN POINT did not show his best on the Polytrack last time out. He did a lot better on his local debut on the grass and could bounce back to score. MAKAJIMA has been unreliable but is capable of getting involved with the finish. The same could also be said of SIXTYZERO. INDESTRUCTABLE is improving and should be right there at the finish. BUGLE and STRAIGHT RED are battling to get out the maiden ranks but are capable of making the frame. RED FRED is capable of improvement.

Race Summary: ALAKAZAM has run some improved races on the Polytrack of late and could score back on the turf. CHAMPAGNE BLAZE is not well drawn but would not be a surprise winner this course and distance. BLUE DAME struggled on local debut but did not enjoy the Polytrack and will do a lot better back on the grass. ONE SUMMER and WITCHING HOUR are better than their recent performances and could get into the frame. OH MANDY is a long time struggling maiden but is often competitive and has a place chance.
Selections: #7 Alakazam, #1 Champagne Blaze, #2 Blue Dame, #8 Oh Mandy
Fairview, 29.05.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R88.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A tricky race. ONE DANCE was unlucky last week on the Polytrack. She is capable of winning a race like this but does give weight away to most of her rivals. HAZE AND SMOKE is consistent but also gives weight away to a lot of runners. TOO LATE MY MATE and CAPTAIN’S JET both make their local debuts and it would not be a surprise were either to score. Stable companions DUPONT EMERALD and ARABIAN RED. DUPONT EMERALD has the better form of late but ARABIAN RED has Richard Fourie up. UMZOLOZOLO and FARAWAY GIRL are both arriving after good recent performances and could earn some money.

Race Summary: BAD MEDICINE has won all four of his starts for trainer Kelly Mitchley and jockey Muzi Yeni and there is no reason why he should lose this either. BOURNEMOUTH seems to run for jockey Richard Fourie so will improve on a poor last performance. JUAN CARLOS, ANATOLIAN SILVER and HOME REEF were all beaten by BAD MEDICINE last time out and could earn some more money. KEY WORKER has a few lengths to find on official ratings but might like this longer distance.
Selections: #2 Bad Medicine, #1 Bournemouth, #3 Juan Carlos, #4 Home Reef

DETAILED FORECAST has improved for trainer Alan Greeff and should fight out the finish. ONE TOO MANY has a place chance. RHYTHM is in good shape and has claims in this line-up. DAS GUTE and STRANGER MAGIC are capable of upsets over this course and distance. BURNING MAN and VILA VICOSA are others to consider for large Pick 6 permutations.

ABOVE THE HORIZON returns to a handicap and could make the frame. JOHNNY DRAMA has shown some promise in two local starts but is badly drawn. STOKESY did not shape on local debut but that was the East Cape Derby so he can improve. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is unreliable but does have a place chance. WILD FIG and ACTION AMERICA are both capable of getting involved with the finish.
