Double beckoning for Peter at the Vaal

July 2025

Jack Milner

Trainer Tony Peter could provide punters with a decent double at the Vaal on Thursday when they send out Paris Fun in Race 1 and Deal Maker in Race 6.

Paris Fun lines up in a Work Riders Maiden Handicap for fillies and mares over the straight 1400m and looks a cut above her opposition.

The two-year-old daughter of Futura has only raced three times, not showing much in her first two over shorter, but then looked a different proposition when coming back from a short break and tried over 1400m on the Turffontein Standside track where she finished a 2.30-length third behind Schipole.

The winner did not really frank the form in her next start but this is not a very strong field and Paris Fun has the most room for improvement.

In addition, she also will have leading work rider Phenisile Mongqawa in the irons.

Deal Maker is a three-year-old UK-bred filly who will be having her first run in the country which she lines up in Race 6, a MR 72 Handicap over 1000m, and despite taking on the colts, assistant trainer Paul Peter believes she will be hard to beat.

“She’s a very nice filly and she has amazing gate speed. On her work, I think she the ability to put away this field,” said Peter.

Gavin Lerena will take the ride.
