Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: FRANZ LEHAR (6)
Jockey: W Kennedy – Trainer: G B Puller
FRANZ LEHAR was an impressive winner on debut over 1000m on this course. He took time to find his feet, but ran on powerfully to win going away. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. The son of Querari could be anything and he should remain unbeaten.
Race 2: PETIT VERDOT (7)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: G B Puller
PETIT VERDOT ran a decent race on debut over this distance on the polytrack. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. The daughter of What A Winter would have come on from the run and in this type of field, she can shed her maiden tag.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: HONEY LAND (4)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: G Kotzen
HONEY LAND has produced two decent efforts to date. She raced from a handy position over this trip on the polytrack last time, but lacked extra in the latter stages. The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade may enjoy the switch to the turf. She is a progressive type and may be the one to beat.
Race 4: BLACKBERRY MALT (1)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: G Kotzen
BLACKBERRY MALT was not disgraced when finishing sixth in the BSA Sales Cup (C&G) against winners. His penultimate run when finishing third over this C&D was encouraging. He jumps from pole position and if getting away to a clean start, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: NEWS STREAM (8)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: M Dixon
NEWS STREAM has shown signs of returning to best form in his last two starts. He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung in the latter stages. He gets a change of headgear and is having his peak run. The 6yo gelding takes a drop in class and can notch up his sixth career victory.
