Mike and Mathew de Kock Runner Comments: 10 September 2026

Here are comments from Lucky Fish ambassador Mathew de Kock on De Kock Racing’s two runners at the Vaal:

Vaal - Thursday, 10 September 2026

Race 3 - 1 700m: One Eye on Dubai

"One Eye on Dubai ran a fair race over 1200m first time out. He is expected to be better over the extra ground, but he hasn’t set the track alight in his work. He shows limited ability and probably needs to be gelded. He seems to be more or less in the same form as he was before his debut. He has an eachway chance, more for the apparent lack of depth among his rivals, not so much on ability.”

Race 8 - 1 000m: Angel's Oasis

“This was originally a divided handicap but there weren’t enough runners. They made it just one handicap, and it’s perhaps too strong for Angel’s Oasis. She will need the run too, and will be better in a lower-class contest.”
