Confederate looks to be talented and can win the WSB Heritage Consolation (JC Photos)
Vaal Saturday Formguides And Selections (Gold Circle)
Del 1 CRONUS (8) caught the eye on debut when a close-up 3rd behind Can You Danse and with natural improvement, can prove very hard to oppose. VIBE SA (2) travels well, moves up and simply just does not go on with his effort. He has run five seconds in a row. He is the obvious exacta selection and will get it all right one of these days. PAGE BOY (10) finished 4th on debut albeit well beaten, but can improve this time to get a lot closer. KWAGGA BLITZ (1) has a first four chance. (Devonne Govender 8-2-10-1)
Del 2 GIMME A STORM (12) ran a good race on debut and has tons of scope to progress on that. A competitive race, but he has a bright winning chance. FLIGHT OF A CONDOR (9) nearly won first time out and clearly has some ability. A big runner with strong each way claims. PRETTY PRECIOUS (3) is ultra-consistent and can be given a huge place chance and ON A JET PLANE (1) is the value for the minor positions. Respect and include in trifectas and quartets. (Devonne Govender 12-9-3-1)
Del 3 GARLANDSOFGREENERY (3) is lightly raced and clearly talented. She is the firm first choice, looks hard to beat and is the suggested banker on the card. SIGRID SWING (1) is taking time for the next win but in saying that, is never far off and can serve up a big run in this. BOSUM BUDDY (4) and VALIEVA (5) have strong place chances. (Devonne Govender 3-1-4-5)
Del 4 (3) THE MERCIFUL is holding consistent form and has a big winning chance. (4) MISHRAH ran a much improved race in the last start and should be included. (5) SANTIAGO’S PRIDE was disappointing in the last start, he is capable of better and will be there. (2) MO MENT wasn’t far in the last start and can get into the quartets. ( Devonne Govender 3-4-5-2)
Del 5 (2) GOOD COUNCIL won a gutsy race in the last start and can follow up with the light mass. (3) THUNEE PLAYA is holding form and based on that will have a shout. (1) SON OF RAJ on ratings is the horse to beat however he may need the run and another factor is his form on paper which isn’t the greatest respectfully, if he brings his ‘A` game he will smash them here. (5) RED MAPLE wasn’t far in the last start and can pop up here, include in all bets. ( Devonne Govender 2-3-1-5)
Del 6 (2) SWING UPON A STAR ran a cracker in the last start and another big run can be expected. (5) KING OF VENUS is in excellent form and a huge performance is expected. (4) PASSAGE OF POWER was a gutsy winner in the last start and will be a factor. (3) ONE FELL SWOOP needed the last run and better is expected. ( Devonne Govender 2-5-4-3)
Del 7 Very competitive race , many have winning chances. It’s also advisable to watch on which side of the track horses seem to be winning from. (14) RADICCHIO is holding solid form and is a massive contender here. His recent victories have been excellent and he will be in the firing line. (12) CAPTAINOFTHEGREEN was ultra impressive in his last win and the fact that Richard Fourie has been booked for the ride speaks volumes. He has always been rated as a smart horse early in his career so he must have a huge chance. (19) THE AFRICA HOUSE is another who is loaded with ability and can get into the action, his last run was eye catching and he deserves huge respect. (11) SLINKY MAPIMPI is a very interesting runner with Rachel Venniker aboard. He is very capable on his day and it will be no surprise to see him win this contest at decent odds from an inside draw. ( Devonne Govender 14-12-19-11)
Del 8 (5) CONFEDERATE looks a smart type and will be a big runner in this contest. His last victory was very impressive and he will have a huge winning chance here. (7) COUNT INVICTO is another smart type in the making, his form speaks for itself and there won’t be much to choose between him and the top selection. (9) MK’S DREAMS won a gutsy race in the last start, he showed plenty of determination on that occasion and with the light mass on his back will be a factor. (4) WARHAWK BOMBER is never far back and is capable of getting involved here, he does have solid form overall and can’t be ignored. ( Devonne Govender 5-7-9-4)
Del 9 (5) DARK SILVER ran an excellent race behind a smart sort and looks to be a strong contender for top honours. He has regular pilot Diego De Gouveia aboard who knows him well and a bold showing is expected. (8) GUY ALEXANDER has been consistent and will be in the mix again. (3) COPPER MIST ran well enough in the last start and can’t be ignored. (10) ROBERT BROWNING is capable of running into the quartet. ( Devonne Govender 5-8-3-10)
