Split a number of these rivals over 1m2f here (handicap) when running with credit in finishing fifth last week; hard enough to fancy stepping into the unknown over new trip.

All his winning form has come at Turffontein (three successes) but he meets the required standard ability wise; fair effort when beaten 5l, finishing fifth of eight over 1m6f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; G Lerena a noteworthy booking; big run on the cards as has been given a chance by the handicapper and should benefit from return to this trip.

| 2 Jan 25 | Vaa Vaal | 12f | Hc | 8-10 b | 4/7 | To The Rescue (4L) | 6/1 | 71 | - |
Best form so far in last two starts; creditable sixth, beaten 1½l, of 11 here over 1m2f (handicap) when separating a number of reopposing rivals last week; jockey booking is a positive and this only his second handicap outing; could be in the mix as a number of his rivals have questions to answer and shown he can win fairly recently.

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 17; four of these rivals finished ahead of him over 1m2f here (handicap) posting a respectable effort a week ago.

Behind Silver Flare over 1m2f here (handicap) when finishing ninth of 12 seven days ago; has won three times here; should go close as has won off this mark and she has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Beaten fifth of 12 over 1m2f here (handicap) last Thursday; has a reasonable shout given that not many of these impressed last time out and has shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Verdict
Angel's Wish may give the others plenty to think about while this distance might be a bit far for Stop The Traffic and Silver Flare. But NUCLEAR FORCE is fancied for this. He could be well treated and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort.
