Vaal Tips on September 14th - Best Bets and Predictions

KINSHIN SHA should have won his last start as he hung in the final 400m. The son of What A Winter is a progressive type and Craig Zackey may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.

STRIKING ANGEL received a bump leaving the start last time, but she stayed on to finish second. The daughter of Royal Mo would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. If getting away to a clean start, she can shed her maiden tag in this field.

THE WORK OF LIFE has finished third in her last three starts. She stayed on at the finish over this distance on the Classic course last time. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and she will be mowing down the frontrunners in the closing stages.

GODFATHER took on stronger company in his last start over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course. His first two efforts out of the maidens were decent. Gavin Lerena has a good strike-rate for trainer Robyn Klaasen. The son of Coup De Grace takes a drop-in class and in this line-up, he may be the one to side with.

OPERA GLASS showed good guts and determination when winning her last start over 1800m on this course. She set the pace that day and fought back well. Three of her nine career victories have come over this distance. She meets a similar field this afternoon and with Gavin Lerena retaining the ride, she can follow up.
