Vaal Tips on July 30th - Best Bets and Predictions

GINGER DELIGHT won a good race on debut over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. She was slow into stride, ran on well and fought hard all the way to the line. The daughter of Canford Cliffs takes on stronger, but could be anything and can remain unbeaten.

KOMATI RIVER should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung inwards in the final 300m. The daughter of Vercingetorix is back against her own sex and she meets the right field. If keeping on a straight line, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.

KALEESH CYBORG produced a promising debut effort over 1160m at Turffontein. He understandably raced green but the manner in which he finished off his race that day was eye-catching. The son of Global View would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.

JURY’S OUT is better than his last start in the Grade 3 TAB Sea Cottage Stakes. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this distance. He runs well for Gavin Lerena and won his only attempt on this course. On best form shown, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

JULIET TANGO should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung inwards in the closing stages. She finished 0.75 lengths behind CEUTA in her penultimate run. She is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She takes a drop in class and can return to winning ways. She is carded to race on 28 July 2024 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored.
