Winning Form Best Bets
Race 2: CAPTAIN WEST (9)
Race 4: FESTIVAL CHIC (2)
Race 6: GREEN MANDARIN (4)
Race 8: TRES CHIC (12)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: FROM A DISTANCE (8)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
FROM A DISTANCE has finished second in her last two starts. It must be noted that the form of her last outing has been franked. The daughter of Querari should have no issues with the drop to 1000m. If not too green around the turn, she can go one better.
Race 2: KING’S QUEST (3)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
KING‘S QUEST produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. He was green in running, but the manner in which he finished off his race that day was eye-catching. The son of Querari would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 3: ARBITRATION (7)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: J Snaith
ARBITRATION was running on when fourth over this C&D last time. The son of Vercingetorix may be at his best over further, but he has plenty of scope. He is a progressive type and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he may be the one to beat.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: LITTLE SUZIE (1)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: J Snaith
LITTLE SUZIE caught the eye when second on debut over 1250m on this course. She understandably raced green but the manner in which she ran on at the finish was encouraging. The daughter of Trippi would have gained from the experience and will love the extra distance on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, the well-bred filly should take a power of beating.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: PARATROOPER (2)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: V Marshall
PARATROOPER had excuses in his last start over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He returns from a 15-week break/suspension. The son of Lancaster Bomber takes a drop in class. He jumps from a good draw of two and can return to winning ways.
