Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: OMBUDSMAN (5)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: S Tarry
OMBUDSMAN showed good improvement when second over 1100m at the Vaal last time. He showed good speed before getting outrun late by Blaze A Way. The fitting of the blinkers did the trick. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and he can go one better.
Top Bet For Today
Race 2: ICONIC WINTER (8)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: P Matchett
ICONIC WINTER produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. She was slow into stride and finished her race off strongly. She would have come on from her first outing and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat.
Race 3: RED LEGEND (3)
Jockey: M van Rensburg – Trainer: M Houdalakis
RED LEGEND ran a good race when third over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time. He was slow into stride, but finished off his race strongly. The blinkers seem to have done the trick and he may be the one to side with.
Race 4: TODOQUE (9)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: P Matchett
TODOQUE showed very good improvement when third over 1160m on the Standside course. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to 1450m. She is back in Maiden Company and may be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: SOLDIER’S EYE (1)
Jockey: K A Brewer – Trainer: W H Marwing
SOLDIER‘S EYE ran a fair race when fourth over 1600m on the Standside course last time. She won her only attempt over this C&D. She is back in Handicap Company and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can return to winning ways.
