Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: ORACLE OF DELPHI(9)
Jockey: Raymond DANIELSON – Trainer: Sean TARRY

ORACLE OF DELPHI showed good improvement when trying the extra ground second time out and he can progress further today. He was beaten by two highly rated sorts that day and the formline was given a boost when the runner-up Devadip won next time out. The Oracy colt should enjoy the drop in distance and he has track experience.

TOP BET
Race 3: SANTA MONICA(5)
Jockey: Randall SIMONS – Trainer: Mike DE KOCK

The in-form Mike de Kock yard steps out the form runner SANTA MONICA here and this bay filly has plenty going for her after her last three solid attempts. The frontrunning daughter of Sail From Seattle should have little issue with this slight drop in distance and she merits healthy respect.


Race 7: COUNTERSTROKE(3)

Jockey: *Not Declared – Trainer: Lucky HOUDALAKIS

COUNTERSTROKE 
lacks consistency but still boasts a few good recent performances, particularly his penultimate run in a feature on this course. He wasn’t disgraced in his follow-up run either when making late progress to finish just out of the money over this c & d in a competitive field after casting a shoe. He has a dismal c & d record but drops in class and should be a lively contender.


Race 8: TRIP TO TROY(11)
Jockey: Piere STRYDOM – Trainer: Geoff WOODRUFF

TRIP TO TROY 
is holding his form well and despite not enjoying the sedate gallop of his last nine-furlong start, the Woodruff inmate ran on again at the finish for a creditable 2nd. He had Analyse This just under one length behind him that day so it could pay to follow the latter’s progress in the prior event. Top jockey Strydom keeps the ride on the chestnut gelding who will prefer today’s drop to the mile.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 4: SHARP LINK(2)
Jockey: Devin HABIB – Trainer: Brett WARREN

SHARP LINK
has shown some improved recent form and he only tired late into a creditable 3rd in a strong field over six furlongs on this course recently. He has more tough competitors to face today but has his peak outing and could enjoy the minimum trip. The Dupont colt represents decent each/way value.
