Tuesday 7th August
No prices up yet for South Africa, but can't see many of them being less than 10's  -  
11.30 Vaal  -  JIMMY BUTTS  -  Nicely bred debutante and related to a couple of fair winners.
12.05 Vaal  -  STRAWBERRY MIST  and  GOLDEN CHESTNUT  -  Pair of possible improvers, both forecast to go off at 20's.  Would not be surprised if SM went of shorter.
1.15 Vaal  -  LEVI LADY  -  Inconsistent sort, but has 5 career wins and definitely capable on a going day. Could prove dangerous as lurking on a very nice mark.
1.50 Vaal  -  LAURENT DU VAR  -  Bit better last time and decent young claimer keeps the ride.  Easier race today and could prove the dark horse of the race.
2.05 Catterick  -  OLIVANDER  -  Nicely bred newcomer at 12's.
2.25 Vaal  -  BLAZING WINTER  and  SO LONG SPRING  -  BW looks the " sensible " one as holds fair form and would have needed the run last time.  SLS is over his best trip, is on a good mark and has the plum draw.
2.50 Newbury  -  DUDLEY'S BOY  -  Nicely bred debutante and the trainer knows the family well at 16's.
3.55 Newbury  -  DARK PANTHER  -  Gelded since last run and upped in trip for handicap debut.  Certainly should do better at 12's.
6.10 Ayr  -  GEOGRAPHY TEACHER  -  Nursery debutante at 20's.
