Track change can impact draw fortunes

The Mercury

|

November 27, 2025

THE meeting scheduled for the Vaal today has been moved to the Turffontein Inside track which will have a significant impact on draw fortunes because seven races which were scheduled to be around the turn are now down the straight.

- DAVID THISELTON

The highest two races at the meeting are a MR92 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m and a MR92 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1450m. In the fillies and mares MR92 handicap over 1000m the exciting prospect Manyeleti has her first run since blitzing the field on debut in an excellent time.

Danon Platina

The Lucky Houdalakis-trained Danon Platina three-year-old filly has not been straight forward at all but possesses tremendous pace and the ability to kick on. She received rave comments after the race from Craig Zackey and although the connections would likely have preferred this race to have been at her home course she has at least drawn virtually ideally in four which should give her an opportunity to use her pace to get to the front. Anchorage has fine form over sprints and from draw three should make a bold bid.
