Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 6: JERUSALEMA RAIN (1)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
JERUSALEMA RAIN is having his first run for the Candice Bass-Robinson stable. He stayed on well at the finish in the Non-Black Type Bloodstock SA Sales Cup last time, but found one too good in the form of Main Defender. The son of Captain Of All would have strengthened up during his time off the track. He is the best-weighted runner in this contest and if suited to the course, he should take a power of beating.
Race 7: GOLDEN HOSTESS (5)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
GOLDEN HOSTESS ran a fair race in the Grade 1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes last time. She returns from a 14-week break which may have done her the world of good. She has won over this distance in the past and races well fresh. Aldo Domeyer steps back into the saddle and she can return to winning ways.
Top Bet For Today
Race 8: CHARLES DICKENS (3)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
CHARLES DICKENS makes his seasonal debut after a successful KZN campaign having won the Grade 2 WSB Guineas and the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge. The 17-week break would have done him the world of good. He is unbeaten from two starts over this distance and he should notch up his ninth career victory.
Race 9: PONTE PIETRA (10)
Jockey: J Solomons – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
PONTE PIETRA is a winner of his last three starts in KZN. He took the lead at the 200m mark over 1950m last time and was geared down in the run down to the line. The drop to 1400m is no concern as he is unbeaten from two starts over the distance. He returns from an 11-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Vercingetorix clearly has class and should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 3: TWO A PENNY (3)
Jockey: C Orffer – Trainer: A Marcus
TWO A PENNY stayed on when fourth over 1600m on this course last time. Her penultimate run when second over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth catches the eye. The daughter of Twice Over is having her peak run today. The 1400m should be right up her alley and from her good draw of three, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
