MR 104 HANDICAP at Vaal on Tuesday

ne could be forgiven for labelling the day’s topliner, the R120 000 MR 104 Handicap, the Dominic Zaki Stakes. The astute Gauteng conditioner

certainly dominates proceedings and fields five of the seven runners. But he may still have to play second fiddle to the speedy Leon Erasmus-trained Jimmi Choo.

O

The once precociously talented youngster Jimmi Choo has matured as a 4yo and mastered the finer arts of racing, particularly when it comes to conservation of energy. He gets a wonderful opportunity to register his first victory in over a year when he lines up against the dominant ‘Zak Attack’ at the Vaal on Tuesday.

Shoe Fits

The thrice winning Bezrin gelding Jimmi Choo campaigns in the red and blue silks of one of our most enthusiastic owners, Johan Botha. He started his racing career like a scalded cat but was always going to find things would get tougher as he progressed through the ranks. But there are positive signs that maturity has taught

him to settle and to turn the jets on when it really counts. That was in evidence in an MR 88 Handicap over the course and distance last time, when he ran on smartly under 59kgs to get within 1,75 lengths of De Var Hyt. He drops dramatically in the weights as he steps up in class and If Akash Aucharuz can settle him here, he could score a first win since 8 August 2013.

No Giveaways

But Dom Zaki is a noted proponent of the speed game and he won’t be giving any free sweets away. Cont. p.2
