MR 92 HANDICAP at Vaal on Tuesday
K
“My charge is very well and rates as the one they all have to beat. She reverts to the turf, a surface she is far more effective on - so ignore her sand form.” Those are the bullish sentiments of seasoned conditioner Louis Goosen, who saddles the promising Seventh Symphony in the topliner at the Vaal on Tuesday. nown as one of the most astute judges in the game, the straightalking Goosen is never one to couch his comments
with disclaimers and ifs and buts. He really appears to be expecting a very big run from his smart speed filly.
Seven Strike
A competitive field of ten lines up for the MR
92 Handicap for fillies and mares over the Vaal straight 1000m and the Goose’s 4yo daughter of Seventh Rock looks a massive challenger – in her favour also boasting a jockey strike, courtesy of the return of the multiple
champion rider Piere Strydom, who enjoyed the privilege of being aboard at both of her victories. He thus knows her well and has started the new month well, with seven winners to date – that is to race 4 at the Vaal last Thursday. Seventh Symphony is raced by something of an internationally flavoured partnership, which includes Mike Wittstock’s Monte Carlo Syndicate, and has given her owners and supporters plenty of fun – winning 2 of her 11 starts,
with 4 places into the bargain. She showed plenty of pace when beaten just under a length by the superb Lazer Star, who is top class and won a cracker beating the capable Belong To Me at Turffontein last Saturday.
