- Rafeef's Queen and Buffalo Storm Cody are tipped to win
Vaal racecourse hosts a good card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:35am (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 - Thursday 8th October
Race 2 - RAFEEF’S QUEEN (4)
RAFEEF‘S QUEEN has finished second in her last three outings, the latest over 1200m, 0.4L back from the winner and with Keagan De Melo in the irons, she will be hoping to go one better today.
Race 3 - DREADNOUGHT (2)
DREADNOUGHT has only had three runs to date and delivered a powerful finish when ending up in second spot last time out over 1600m, 0.4L off the winner and on that effort, he should appreciate the extra ground on offer here.
Race 4 - EVENING PARADE (6)
EVENING PARADE followed up his maiden win in his penultimate start over 1000m with a third place finish next time out over 1160m, 2.5L off the winner. He returns from a 13 week rest, but is re-united with Calvin Habib who was aboard when the gelding won his race.
Race 5 - BUFFALO STORM CODY (1)
BUFFALO STORM CODY is an eleven time winner from twenty-one starts, the latest over 1200m at Greyville by 0.9L. He showed plenty of speed that day and then held off the chasing pack in the dash down to the line. The gelding has never been unplaced in three runs over this trip, so the drop in distance should not be an issue.
Race 7 - TAKING A RISK (6)
TAKING A RISK has finished second in her last three outings, the latest over 1000m, beaten just 1.25L behind the winner. She was returning from a 14-week rest that day and would have come on from the outing.
Verdict
Buffalo Storm Cody (Race 5) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Vaal on Thursday.
