Vaal Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).
Race 1 – 1200m (Maiden Plate)
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 @ 5/1✅ EW Place
Race 2 – 1200m (Maiden Plate)
POTBERRIE should have finished closer to the winner last time. He runs well for Muzi Yeni, and the combination should run into the money.
Suggested Bet – POTBERRIE EW @ 7/1✅ EW Place
Race 3 – 1100m (FM 80 Handicap)
GODSPEED found trouble running in her last race; you should ignore that effort. Her two races before that were good when finishing second. With better luck in running, she should fight out the finish.
Suggested Bet – GODSPEED EW @ 6/1✅ EW Place
Race 4 – 1700m (Maiden Plate)
AMBITIOUS LADY ran a good race when finishing second in her latest run. Gavin Lerena retains the ride, and he should have her competitive once again.
Suggested Bet – AMBITIOUS LADY EW @ 5/1✅ EW Win
Race 5 – 1700m (MR 74 Handicap)
VAVA VEGAS gets 4kgs taken off and runs with no weight at 50kgs. That low mass could prove the difference for the five-year-old, and I think he could sneak into the money.
Suggested Bet – VAVA VEGAS EW @ 10/1✅ EW Place
Race 6 – 1700m (MR 84 Handicap)
EIGER SANCTION has won three in a row and looks progressive. He steps up in class and takes on stronger, but I expect another strong effort.
Suggested Bet – EIGER SANCTION EW @ 8/1✅ EW Win

Race 7 – 1400m (MR 66 Handicap)
MICKIE’S BOMB takes a drop in class, and despite carrying 60.5kgs, she is a top contender. The blinkers are refitted, and with Pierre Strydom on board, he should have the filly fighting out the finish.
Suggested Bet – MICKIE’S BOMB EW @ 8/1❌
Race 8 – 1200m (MR 74 Handicap)
PRIZED PLATINUM made a form return last time when finishing second. I am taking my chances on him to confirm that good run with another strong effort. Carded to race with just 48kgs, if his appie can time the finish, he should run into the money.
Suggested Bet – PRIZED PLATINUM EW @ 10/1❌
