Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: READY OR NOT (7)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: D Kannemeyer
READY OR NOT ran a decent race in his last start over this distance on the Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack. He raced from a handy position, but found one too good in the form of Dowser. He would have strengthened up during his time off the track. The son of Rafeef has ability and if suited to the left-hand turn, he can shed his maiden tag.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: RAFEEF’S CHOICE (4)
Jockey: G van Niekerk – Trainer: W A Nel
RAFEEF‘S CHOICE is the best bet on the programme. She stayed on at the finish over 1400m last time, but found one too good in the form of Fur Baby. The daughter of Rafeef should love the rise to the mile. She meets the right field and with Grant van Niekerk back in the saddle, she should take a power of beating.
Race 5: I WANT IT ALL (3)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: J Snaith
I WANT IT ALL has shown good signs of a form return in his last two starts. He stayed on nicely when third over 1600m on this course last time. He has won once and finished third twice from four starts on this course. He is having his peak run today and with Richard Fourie in the saddle, he can return to winning ways.
Race 6: CHAMPION WARRIOR (4)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: B Crawford
CHAMPION WARRIOR won easier than the official margin suggests on debut over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of Twice Over takes on stronger, but he could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
Value Bet For Today
Race 1: FLEETING (4)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: B Crawford
FLEETING finished 0.75 lengths behind PERFECT TRUST last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She finished 1.25 lengths behind PEUT ETRE MOI in her penultimate effort and is 4kgs better off at the weights. That should be enough to turn the form around. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Keagan de Melo takes the ride and he may be able to get the best out of her.
