- We bring you Magic Tips' best bets at Vaal races on Tuesday 26th May
- Staggerwing and Lead The Charge are tipped to win
Vaal racecourse hosts a decent card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:05am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections this morning.
Vaal Races Tips - Tuesday 26th May
Race 2 - TIGER MAGIC (13)
TIGER MAGIC produced a promising debut effort when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Greyville. He showed speed, tried hard but found one too good in the form of Kudikaran. The son of Willow Magic would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can go one better.
Race 3 - STAGGERWING (9)
STAGGERWING was far from disgraced when fourth in the Listed Wilgerbosdrift Ruffian Stakes last time. She jumped awkwardly leaving the start, but stayed on at the finish. The daughter of Rafeef returns from an 11-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. She is back in Maiden Company and should take a power of beating.
Race 6 - SHEETS AND GOGGLES (4)
SHEETS AND GOGGLES stayed on at the finish over this C&D last time. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight drops in class and gets the services of Mickaelle Michel who takes the 1.5kgs off her back. On best form shown, she can notch up her fourth-career victory.
Race 7 - LEAD THE CHARGE (7)
LEAD THE CHARGE was slow into stride over 1100m at Turffontein last time, but stayed on to finish fifth. He won his penultimate outing over 1160m at Turffontein. The son of Lancaster Bomber has won over this distance previously and back in a handicap, he may be the one to side with.
Race 8 - TAKING A RISK (10)
TAKING A RISK challenged strongly over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Lovable. The daughter of Fire Away is in a good space and Gavin Lerena may be able to get the best out of her where it matters most.
Verdict
Staggerwing (Race 3) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Vaal on Tuesday.
