Vaal Race 7 - Racing240 Mr 96 Handicap

SOSORU (11) scored in dominant fashion over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time. Winning rider Callan Murray retains the mount. Easy course and distance winner two back at only try. In top form and can make it three straight. IT'S PERSONAL (10) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.6 lengths over today's trip at Turffontein Standside. Has a good record at this trip with two wins and two minor placings. Among the leading chances. LEAD THE CHARGE (7) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 1100m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Turffontein Standside the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. TRAJANUS (5) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fourth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside nine weeks ago. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. I
