Vaal Race 3 - Summer Cup 29 November Mr 74 Handicap
WAR REPORTER (2) moved up well over 1800m last time before getting outrun late. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. Calvin Habib retains the ride and he can go one better. LAUGHING WILLIAM (3) showed improvement when second of nine over 1400m at Turffontein last time. He set the pace and tried hard all the way to the line. Gavin Lerena rides and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. UNSOLVED RIDDLE (1) ran a fair race over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course two runs back, then scored as the favourite last start over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Racing well and jumping from the inside draw can go back-to-back. COPPER EAGLE (7) won a good race on debut over 1400m at Turffontein last start. He takes on stronger rivals but he could be anything and should be up to the task at hand.
