Vaal Selections
Race 1 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
Thursday racing opens with a work riders maiden plate and the hot favourite is Cold Agent. However, it would be foolish to take a 5/10 shot in a work riders race and instead we looking for value with The Navy Lark who has fair form.
Suggested Bet – The Navy Lark EW @ 9/1 ✅ EW Win
Race 2 – 1000m (Maiden Juvenile Plate)
Caution is advised in this maiden juvenile race, as these two year old’s are still learning what racing is all about. We are siding with Rodeo Drive who has started her career well with two second places.
Suggested Bet – Rodeo Drive to win @ 1.5/1 ✅
Race 3 – 1000m (Maiden Juvenile Plate)
Another 1000m maiden juvenile race, and Wolf Mountain should win but, at 2/10 that is not odds we are willing to back. Instead we have found some value in Howzit Boet who was well beaten by Wolf Mountain but was very green in running. Hopefully, he improves in his second start to run a place.
Suggested Bet – Howzit Boet EW – 20/1 ❌
Race 4 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
Gaelic Dancer has produced two fair runs in her young career and represents excellent eachway value, especially with further improvement to come.
Suggested Bet – Gaelic Dancer EW – 10/1 ✅ EW Place

Race 5 – 1000m
Samoa is a 9 year old mare, but she still seems to enjoy racing. She is still so consistent at her age and with a low weight she should run into the money.
Suggested Bet – Samoa EW – 9/1 ✅ EW Place
Race 6 – 2400m (Classified Stakes)
We are in the camp of Ideal Future here, who is carrying just 49.5kgs. She has excellent course and distance form and we expect another bold showing.
Suggested Bet – Ideal Future EW – 10/1 ❌
Race 7 – 1800m
Another tough race, but we like Carnelo to continue his decent form. He enjoys the course and distance and should fight out the finish.
Suggested Bet – Carnelo EW – 10/1 Void – Non Runner
Race 8 – 1400m
Kashkaval is an interesing runner in the last. He was short priced in his last start but ran last after setting the piece but did not stride out. He had consistent form prior to that run and we think he should bounce back here.
Suggested Bet – Kashkaval EW – 13/1 ✅ EW Win
