Vaal Races Tips - Thursday 28th May
Race 1 - VOLCANIC HEAT (1)
VOLCANIC HEAT was not disgraced when fourth in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Erupt has ability and can notch up her third-career victory.
Race 2 - ONWARD (12)
ONWARD raced from a handy position over this distance at Turffontein last time, tried hard but found one too good in the form of Master’s Rose. The daughter of Malmoos is a progressive type and she can go one better.
Race 3 - COVER CHARGE (11)
COVER CHARGE has produced two fair runs to date. The son of Erik The Red returns from an 11-week break and is having his first outing as a gelding. He gets the services of Mickaelle Michel who takes the 1.5kgs off his back. He is a horse with scope and can show good improvement.
Race 6 - RABBLE ROUSER (3)
RABBLE ROUSER followed up her debut victory with a good third-place finish over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. She set the pace and tried hard all the way to the line. The daughter of Rafeef will enjoy the drop to 1200m. She has plenty of scope and with Keagan de Melo back in the saddle, she should take a power of beating.
Race 7 - KOMATI RIVER (1)
KOMATI RIVER was super-impressive when winning her last start over this C&D. She showed good speed, found another kick and won with a ton in hand. The daughter of Vercingetorix is having her peak run. 2.5kgs claiming Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson retains the ride and the combination can follow up with another victory.
Verdict
Volcanic Heat (Race 1) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Vaal on Thursday.
