Vaal Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).
Race 1 – 1700m (Maiden Plate)
The card opens with a work riders maiden, so no suggested bets from me. Keep an eye on the betting if you are going to have a wager, and please stake cautiously.
Suggested Bet – No Bet
Race 2 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
I am having a small EW bet on RADIANT HEAT. She produced a surprise second two races back, and if she can reproduce that run, she represents excellent EW value at long odds.
Suggested Bet – RADIANT HEAT EW @ 20/1❌
Race 3 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
QUASIKAT made an encouraging debut when finishing second. She would have come on from that run and, despite taking on males, seems to be progressive. Carded to race with 56.5kgs, she can go close to winning.
Suggested Bet – QUASIKAT EW @ 6/1✅ EW Win
Race 4 – 1700m (Maiden Plate)
INSTANT ATTRACTION made the natural improvement in her second and third runs and could have more to come. Carded to race with 54kgs, she represents EW value.
Suggested Bet – INSTANT ATTRACTION EW @ 8/1✅ EW Place

Race 5 – 1100m (MR 80 Handicap)
This is a competitive sprint; you must go wide in all exotics. COMING IN HOT has good form with two wins in his last four starts. He is carded to race with 55kgs and should fight out the finish.
Suggested Bet – COMING IN HOT EW @ 8/1✅ EW Place
Race 6 – 1600m (MR 87 Handicap)
PARISIAN WALKWAY is better than his last start in a Grade 1. He is a progressive colt and should have more to come. If he is fit and ready, he is the horse to beat.
Suggested Bet – PARISIAN WALKWAY EW @ 4/1✅ EW Place
Race 7 – 1800m (FM 83 Handicap)
SAY IT WITH ROSES has good form and strong form lines. She takes a slight drop in class, and despite carrying top weight, she should be competitive.
Suggested Bet – SAY IT WITH ROSES EW @ 6/1❌
Race 8 – 1800m (FM 68 Handicap)
SNEAK PREVIEW did not see out the 2600m in her last race. She drops back to a suitable distance and should be competitive. She has good form, and I expect her to run into the money.
Suggested Bet – SNEAK PREVIEW EW @ 7.5/1✅ EW Place
