Vaal Thursday

Discuss below

2 D'Arrivee

8 Slight win chance Perfect Order

My fancies on a tough Vaal card:

Firdoas (win)
Imperial Quest (win)
Rain Blossom (places)
Slim Alley Bank (places)

Don't leave out Nautic Spirit out of anything.

The horse is highly rated by the stable.

3 Rubix unexposed in weakish line-up

Include both Alexander horses in the exotics.

Another tough day beckons .....

R1: Fancied runners drawn on the outside - I'm including Melarado

R2: Weak field - fancied runners drawn on the outside again - I'm including Stop and Stare - no allumites, but hopefully a good draw and jock has done well on him before

R3: Surely a race between the top 3 ....

R4: Open - Darkest Hour gets a big drop in MR; Willaim Nicol ran well on the Classic track on Tuesday and has 3 2nds this track and trip; Tokyo Drift also nice value .... Shortstop (draw ?) and Manitoba the obvious two

R5: Open again; Emily Jay has great form down this straight - obvious chance again, but may be held by Rouge Allure; Dame Kelly takes a drop in class, so could feature as well, but it does not stop there ....

R6: Make Me Happy obvious chance again; Inyanga goes without blinkers and tries the extra 200 - can't be ignored; the two van Vuuren runners come off nice maiden wins and both have chances imo

R7: 4 stand out imo - Ninjara, Colour of Light, Nautic Spirit and Generous Notion all in form and any can end up winning; Witch of the West looks classy as well, but may need the run and could also prefer a little more ground; Twelve Oaks upset material

R8: Spring Petry has a lot going for her imo - down in class and well suited to this track; main dangers look to be Sha-boom Sha-boom, Tiger Lace and Barbie Doll

Enjoy

Are these races on a straight track or bended track?
