Winner ZAR R93,750 - 8 runners
1 ¼m
Going: Good
Surface: T
TOTAL SURRENDER (5) had been in sound form but last start he was safely held when eighth over 7f81yards at Vaal. Craig Zackey has a solid record aboard this five-year-old gelding so a big run is expected. TAMARISK TREE (2) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 0.9 lengths over this journey at Vaal. Has a good record at this trip with a win and three placings. Among the leading chances. HAWKBILL (3) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when eighth over 1m2f at Vaal. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Capable of testing this field. DOUGLAS DRAGON (7) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1m4f at Vaal. Likely improver with strong prospects.
