Winning Form brings you their best tips for Vaal’s racing on Thursday the 25th of January. Comments and betting advice are provided! Tips come from Winning Form and their back-page tipster – Magic Tips by eMeM.

Race 2: BRIGHT BLESSED DAY(1)
Race 3: MACKBOOL(4)
Race 4: GOTTALOTTALUV(5)
Jockey: A Delpech – Trainer: G Van Zyl
Keep an eye on Imperial Quest in the opening race as the favourite. BRIGHT BLESSED DAY was runner-up to this horse four weeks ago, returning from a 42-week break and will be fitter now. This Judpot gelding has found a weaker race today and is definitely the one to beat.

Race 6: FORAFEWDOLLARSMO(4)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
FORAFEWDOLLARSMORE has been improving steadily. In his last race, he showed strong late progress, finishing just a neck behind the in-form AMERICAN INDIAN, now he meets that rival on 0.5kg better terms. The horse has good potential for further growth.

Race 7: LIKE ASTAIR(1)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe – Trainer: M Azzie
The quick LIKE ASTAIR benefitted from blinkers and a break as he dominated similar rivals over a longer distance five weeks ago. Although he was assigned five extra pounds, the lightly raced horse should excel over this shorter distance and is set to deliver another win.

LIKE ASTAIR(1) |
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
FRENCH LEGEND earned a competitive merit rating, finishing strongly in second place behind the classy stablemate Heaps Of Fun recently. She held off the subsequent winner Alileo by more than a length and looks strong against today’s rival SHIVERING SEA.

Race 8: ULTIMATE SHAMROCK(5)
Jockey: D Mansour – Trainer: A Laird
ULTIMATE SHAMROCK is a lightly raced four-year-old import with promising potential. She showed a strong finish for third place recently despite a saddle issue. Blinkers today might give her an edge, and she could surpass expectations.
