Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: Tuscan Winter
Jockey: Lerena G Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
TUSCAN WINTER challenged strongly in his last start, but found one too good in the form of Bowie. The son of What A Winter has ability and is the stable elect. If not too green around the turn, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 3: About To Storm
Jockey: Zackey C Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
ABOUT TO STORM ran a good race on debut over 1000m on the Standside course. He was green in running, but the manner in which he finished off his race caught the eye. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Gimmethegreenlight would have gained from the experience and should love the extra furlong on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Race 8: Captain Hindsight
Jockey: X Jacobs Trainer: A Fortune
CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT fought hard for his last win over 1400m on the Standside course. He takes a slight drop in class today and gets the services of a 4kgs claiming apprentice. He is in a good space and can follow up.
Race 9: Riverstown
Jockey: G Lerena Trainer: P Peter
RIVERSTOWN was an easy winner of his last start over 1160m on the Standside course. He has won twice and finished second twice from five starts over this C&D. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and the combination should take a power of beating.
Value Bet
Race 6: FLINDERS RANGE(4) (Each Way)
Jockey: G Lerena Trainer: St John Gray
FLINDERS RANGE has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. He challenged strongly last time, but found one too good in the form of Tullamore Dew. Gavin Lerena takes the ride from a good draw and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
