Racing. It’s A Rush MR 88 HANDICAP at Vaal on Tuesday
T
Trainer Mike Azzie is always a serious factor on the Vaal sand and has only one runner at the Vaal on Tuesday in the hardknocking Tiger Ridge gelding, Panjo. The Mauritzfontein bred 5yo lumbers top weight in a competitive MR 88 Handicap over 1450m and with top apprentice Ryan Munger up, he should go close.
he eight race Vaal meeting sees the topliner launching the Place Accumulator with average sized fields possibly proving deceptive for exotic players.The Azzie yard have upped their strike
rate dramatically in the past week with 3 winners from 9 runners in the period 9 October to 14 October. There has been the odd disappointment - the worst of which was probably the 18 to 10 favourite Avenue at the Vaal last Tuesday.
Talented
But in a small field, the top-rated Panjo will enjoy the service of talented 19yo apprentice Ryan Munger, who leads the SA Champion apprentice log. Munger’s allowance takes 1,5kgs off Panjo’s back
and brings him into the reckoning after an 8 length third to Raise The Red over the course and distance last time out. That was a fair run (although it looks dismal on paper) as Panjo was found to be not striding out and his previous run can probably be ignored as he lost a shoe. He meets Vulcan, who ran 3,25 lengths ahead of him on 1,5kgs better terms and if Panjo arrives sound and fit, there should be little to choose between the two.

Consistent
Scott Kenny’s Kahal gelding Vulcan has the rails draw and is in front of the consistency queue. Vucan is a six-time winner from his 25 starts and impressed on the turf at his penultimate run when giving the classy Meissa a half kilo and running him to a length. It won’t be east though and all of the balance of the five runners have some form to recommend them.
