Quick Breeze

J: M K Katjedi ⁶

T: B Crawford

Upped to 7f last month when finishing last of eight at Turffontein Standside; lower mark this time; she is the only female runner; makes little appeal as has more on her plate in this

Ridgerunner

J: K De Melo

T: J J Van Vuuren

Finished last of seven in a handicap last month here; been generally quiet since successful in a juvenile plate at Turffontein Standside last June; has eased in the weights; warrants respect as has shown signs of promise

Bronco Blitz

J: C Maujean

T: F Bronkhorst

Unable to land a blow when fifth of seven over C&D over Christmas (handicap); that form has substance (produced a next-time-out winner); has an impressive record over course and distance (three wins from nine runs); not hard to turn elsewhere

Mover And Shaker

J: S Khumalo

T: F P Habib

Largely disappointing since successful in a non-black type race at Greyville in July; beaten 4l when fifth of eight but didn't run badly at 20-1 (this trip, Vaal, non-black type race) last month, behind next-time-out winners; unlikely to trouble the principals

Tre Amici

J: M Yeni

T: R R Sage

Claimed a first CD win last month when successful by 1½l; now handicapping; he can make a bold bid

23 Jun 22	Vaa Vaal	5f	Md	9-6	4/10	Clean Living (2¾L)	16/1	-	45

This is a difficult race to call but TRE AMICI is put forward as the selection. He is a CD winner and the form of his race 35 days ago is working out well. There should be plenty of market support for Umthombo Wolwazi.
