Winning Form Best Bets

Race 1: MOON SHADOW(1)
Race 3: DEVON BELLE(11)
Race 7: CELTIC CAPTAIN(5)
Race 8: STORM OUTGOING(2)


Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: INYATI(11)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS 

The filly INYATI tired late in her comeback run over six furlongs recently and this shorter trip could be ideal for the speedy daughter of Var. She is well drawn and has definite claims on her best form. She will strip fitter but the only slight reservation is that she gets equipped with blinkers.

Race 2: DANISH CROSS(1)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Duncan HOWELL

The Howells/De Melo combination could be at it again here and the top selection DANISH CROSS can make up for her below-par last showing. That said, it was her first taste of the polytrack in a competitive line-up, the formline of which was boosted by subsequent winners Burfi and Mungo Cherry. The daughter of Pathfork showed good ability on the grass prior to that and had a pleasing debut against winners before her smart penultimate run. Her experience around the turn will be vital and she should go close from her good draw.

Race 4: SILVER SAILS(4)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH – Trainer: Colin SCOTT 

SILVER SAILS built on his promising debut when he finished well to beat some fair maidens over six furlongs on the polytrack second time out. It was a win full of merit, considering he was having his first run around the turn so this well-related son of Silvano is clearly above-average and should continue to improve. He takes on a strong field on his handicap debut but is expected to relish the extra furlong and top jockey Delpech has been engaged.

TOP BET
Race 7: CELTIC CAPTAIN(5)
Jockey: Warren KENNEDY – Trainer: Gareth VAN ZYL 

CELTIC CAPTAIN has the day’s topliner at his mercy and the likely strong gallop will suit him perfectly. Of course, he captured a listed event on the polytrack in his penultimate outing and then followed up with a smart performance over a mile in a Grade 3 on this course, eight weeks ago. The 3rd placed entrant Budapest boosted his latest formline with a subsequent win and this son of Captain Al is extremely well treated at the weights on official ratings. The bay gelding has no issues with the ten furlongs and he should take a power of beating.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 5: THALER POINT(11) 

Jockey: Marco VAN RENSBURG – Trainer: Glen KOTZEN

This is a really competitive fillies & mares handicap where caution should be exercised. The chestnut mare THALER POINT has seldom been beaten far in recent outings and her late bursts indicates that she could enjoy this slight step-up in distance. The blinkers have made a positive difference to the Glen Kotzen inmate, who incidentally has won over a mile. She has drawn well at gate 6.
