We know turf racing is ideal and a synthetic surface is a great addition to avoid abandonments ..........but to have a poor inconsistent surface for mainly poor horses that is more sensitive to weather than turf is pointless.
Is it just stubborn defensiveness that prevents them ditching the sand?(and the money they spent on more equipment)..........surely it is inevitable eventually!

R1 4 RED SCIMITAR
R2 1 RAFA
R3 1 TRIP TEASE
R4 8 BREATHLESS
R5 7 EXCALIVAR
R6 6 BROOKS-CLUB
R7 9 BE MINE TONIGHT
R8 10 BUDDY'S FALCON

R1 RED SCIMITAR x Big Shot x Colonel Rockjaw (small e/w)
R2 Ballerini (tentative) x Valiance Samaritan x Rafa
R3 Trip Tease (but very short imo) x Tiger Territory x Anger (possible e/w value but I guess best to see how he is behaving if you can)
R4 RIDE OF HONOUR x Bags Of Boodle x S'Way (small e/w on Coral Key)
R5 Wild Thing (tentative) x Rockingandrolling x Where's My Chop (bit of a nagger, Cosmic Tom)
R6 All The Bids (but very open) x Kiss Me Hardy x Taptap Makhatini (small e/w Half Moon Hotel)
R7 JADE VINE x Be Mine Tonight x Julie Doolittle (bit of a nagger, Bang Sue)
R8 Attract The Crowd (at the 50th time of asking!) x Buddy's Falcon x Sweet On You (small e/w)

Those in capitals form my patent but I have no strong likes today, probably Red Scimitar the one I think most likely.

Be(s)t of luck to all

Saftote shows VAAL TURF on their betting page .......................I can't find any other announcement !
Has it been switched or is that just normal incompetence?

(OK just spoke to Tab-online .................still SAND ............just a cock-up!!!!!)

Mr H, will wait for Anger to go down before putting anything on him.

I was on course his last start- I was sitting with Gunter Wrogermann who said said@ no race @but there was a great deal of rain and lighting about and Anger became his dilly self (I anticipated this) _ If he is calm today he'll run a blinder but if you hear there is bad weather around he will more likely go Sterkfontein on us again so be cautious.

Have always liked Anger, if he goes to the start quietly I will be backing him too.

yes pleas.

IF TT is short of a gallop the Tiger will pounce, would imagine ( just guessing ) Trip Tease has bigger races in mind

My only concern with TT is how he recovered from CT trip............long trip both ways!
If doesn't need it ,home and hosed IMO!..........the doubt makes the price no value though ..........will bank in a P6.
