15:00 Vaal - 9 September 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ORUS APOLLO couldn't send favourite backers home happy last time, but looks worth trusting this time. Rainy Season is most likely the toughest opposition, while Wylie The Great is the other candidate for the three.

  1. ORUS APOLLO (SAF)
  2. RAINY SEASON (SAF)
  3. WYLIE THE GREAT (SAF)
