Vaal Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).

CAT O’CLOCK has good form lines, and she has been running well. She always runs into the placings and is a banker for the opening leg of the Bipot.
Suggested Bet – CAT O’CLOCK EW @ 4/1✅ EW Win

FREE IN SEATLE has been running well and can sneak a place in this Graduation Plate. She carries a handy mass of 55kgs, which should make her competitive.
Suggested Bet – FREE IN SEATLE EW @ 13/1❌
Race 3 – 1400m (Maiden Plate)
KALEESH CYBORG is coming along nicely and has run three good efforts. He should shed his maiden tag soon. He is a banker for all PAs and Bipots.

Race 4 – 1100m (Graduation Plate)
BUFFALO STORM CODY is a progressive three-year-old colt with plenty of scope. He carries a handy mass of 56kgs and is a leading contender.

Race 5 – 1700m (MR 66 Handicap)
VAVA VEGAS ran a cracker last time when just pipped at the line. I expect him to confirm that good run with another place finish in a similar field.
Suggested Bet – VAVA VEGAS EW @ 5.5/1❌
Race 6 – 1700m (MR 84 Handicap)
SHINTO SHRINE is a progressive three-year-old colt with plenty of scope. He has run well in all his races and is a leading contender with 54kgs on his back.
Suggested Bet – SHINTO SHRINE EW @ 4/1❌
Race 7 – 1200m (MR 80 Handicap)
AMPERSAND carries 58kgs and is weighted to go close. He has fair form and always runs well. He should run into the money with some luck at nice EW odds.
Suggested Bet – AMPERSAND EW @ 7/1❌
Race 8 – 1200m (Middle Stakes)
Ignore ROCK OF BISMANTOVA last start as he lost a few lengths at the start. Before that run, he had impressive form. Some of his rivals are better weighted than him, but I expect a good run. He has plenty of scope and represents great EW value.
Suggested Bet – ROCK OF BISMANTOVA EW @ 15/1❌
