Muzi is Top Division

Muzi Yeni (Gold Circle Racing)

There looks to be competitive racing all day at the Vaal on Tuesday, but jockey Muzi Yeni could be one to follow.

He has good rides throughout the card, but the best of them could be Constellation in Race 6, a MR 94 Handicap over 1000m.

This What A Winter colt has shown promise in his four starts, winning his last two, and was not beaten far in his first two outings.

It is worth noting that both of those defeats came on soft ground with jockey Gavin Lerena aboard, while both victories were under Callan Murray.

The three-year-old colt returns from a break and will face a decent field, but it is likely we have not yet seen the best of him.

Earlier on the card, the Johan Janse van Vuuren-trained Top Division could take out Race 5, a MR 80 Handicap over 1000m.

This three-year-old gelding won nicely on debut and ran well in his next two starts.

More was expected from the Gimmethegreenlight gelding when finishing fourth behind It’s Personal, beaten 1.20 lengths over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside track on 23 August.

Jockey Craig Zackey gets his first ride aboard him, and with the drop to 1000m and the addition of blinkers for the first time, improvement is likely.

Probably the most interesting contest on the card comes up in Race 3, a Graduation Plate over 1200m, as some very talented fillies will be using this as preparation for the feature races that lie ahead.

Arashi clearly needed her last run when returning from a break, but she could upstage her stable companions Rifle Queen and Rachel Wall.
