Vaal Races Tips - Tuesday 2nd September
Race 3 - SOHO HEARTTHROB (7)
SOHO HEARTTHROB was doing his best work late when third over this distance at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that Jan Van Goyen has come out and won a Grade 1 since. He is the best weighted runner in this contest with 54.5kgs on his back. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and he is the horse to beat.
Race 4 - WESTERN WISHES (1)
WESTERN WISHES quickened up well to win her last start over 1160m at Turffontein. She would have come on from the outing and should love the rise to 1600m. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Girish Samo-Burthia and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she can follow up with another victory.
Race 6 - DAMOVA (2)
DAMOVA ran a good race when second over 2850m at Turffontein last time. She raced from a handy position but found one too good in the form of Enflame. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She won her only attempt over this C&D. The 7yo mare may be the one to side with.
Race 7 - STOP THE TRAFFIC (2)
STOP THE TRAFFIC has good recent form lines to his credit. He stayed on when third over this C&D last time. The 5yo gelding drops back in class and if this run has not come too soon, he can notch up his third-career victory.
Race 8 - SILENT WAR (3)
SILENT WAR is better than his last start over 1450m. He finished 3.25 lengths behind HAWKBILL in his penultimate outing. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Verdict
Sohoheartthrob (Race 3) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Vaal on Tuesday.
