Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: FERRARI ICE (1)
Jockey: W Kennedy – Trainer: G Smith
FERRARI ICE is having his first run for the Gavin Smith stable. It must be noted that multiple horses from his last form line have come out and won since. The son of Querari tries the 2200m for the first time, but the manner in which he has finished off previous races suggests that he will love the extra distance on offer. If settled into his new surroundings, he can return to winning ways.
Race 5: VARSITY BOURBON (6)
Jockey: L Ferraris – Trainer: L Denysschen
VARSITY BOURBON was running on well when finishing second over 1200m in the Non-Black Type Cradock Place Stakes last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He has won four times from eight starts over this distance. The 6yo gelding drops in class and if suited to the Polytrack, he should be the one to beat.

Race 6: CELTILLUS (2)
Jockey: G Cheyne – Trainer: A Greef
CELTILLUS finished 2.5 lengths behind JEAN’S MAN last time. He is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The blinkers have been quickly removed. The son of Vercingetorix is in a good space and if keeping on a straight line, he should notch up his fifth career victory.
Race 8: SON OF ZEUS (4)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: J Visser
SON OF ZEUS raced from a handy position last time, but found one too good in the form of Safari Blue. He caught the eye when winning his penultimate run over 1200m on this course. He returns to Handicap Company and with Richard Fourie in the saddle, he should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: ENCRYPTION (3)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: S Kotzen
ENCRYPTION is much better than her last start as the jockey reported something to be amiss. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. She returns to Handicap Company and from pole position, can return to winning ways.
