This will be music to the ears of punters who lost Turffontein last Thursday, the Vaal on Saturday, the last few races on Monday’s Flamingo Park card, as well as Vaal and Hollywoodbets Greyville over the past two days.
The Vaal false rail is set at zero on the back straight and bend, with a 3m spur at the 600m mark. The false rails will be zero from the 1600m outside rail to the pull-up area.
The eight-race meeting starts at 13h05.

The Sporting Post’s best bet of the afternoon comes up in the fourth where Gr1 winner Chimichuri Run can register his fifth career success.
