SADC region gearing up to host 45th ordinary summit heads of state
Southern African Development Community (SADC) region is getting ready to host its 45th ordinary summit heads of state and government this month in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
Trainer Tony Peter could provide punters with a decent double at the Vaal on Thursday where they send out Paris Fun in Race 1 and Deal Maker in Race 6.
Paris Fun lines up in a Work Riders Maiden Handicap for fillies and mares over the straight 1400m and looks a cut above her opposition.
The two-year-old daughter of Futura has only raced three times, not showing much in her first two over shorter, but then looked a different proposition when coming back from a short break and tried over 1400m on the Turffontein Standside track where she finished a 2.30-length third behind Schipole.
The winner did not really frank the form in her next start but this is not a very strong field and Paris Fun has the most room for improvement. In addition, she will also have top work rider Phenisile Mongqawa in the irons.
Deal Maker is a three-year-old UK-bred filly who will be having her first run in the country, when she lines up in Race 6, a MR 72 Handicap over 1000m, and despite taking on the colts, assistant trainer Paul Peter believes she will be hard to beat.
“She’s a very nice filly and she has amazing gate speed. On her work, I think she has the ability to put away this field,” said Peter. Gavin Lerena will take the ride.
