Gonna Catch You will be a hard chase

The Mercury

|

September 02, 2025

THE outside rail at the Vaal meeting today is at zero which usually leads to high draws being favourable.

- DAVID THISELTON

In the first race over 1400m Gonna Catch You represents Khaya Stables, an owner who has been in fine form around the country and this horse has been backed in to 11/10.

He is by Vercingetorix out of a three-time winning stakes-placed Jet Master mare, which augurs well but he does have a potentially tricky low draw of three which will not make it easy on debut.

Never Never Land

Never Never Land is the one who could upset as he made a fair debut behind a top looking sort.

However, he was beaten four lengths and the winner looked to still be cantering, so he will need to improve, although he does have a potentially better draw than the first choice.

Amandla Ngawethu has some fair form and has a nice high draw but does seem to be a touch one-paced.

War Of Wonders is by Act Of War and is a half-brother to the useful Chili Con Carne.

Thoonsil is by Danon Platina out of a Giant's Causeway mare.

In the second race over 1400m Paris Fun looks to be a progressive sort and she can follow up on her win in a Workriders Maiden over this course and distance.

With the course set up as it is she looks to be drawn on the wrong side but it is not a big field and she could overcome it. Sunshine Day will be a contender from a high draw if able to repeat her last start.

Commander Of All has the ability to be a contender here, although draw one might be against him.
