Winning Form Best Bets

Race 1: KEY HOSTESS(6)
Race 2: THAROOS(8)
Race 3: CINNAMON SLEW(4)
Race 4: JACKMAN(1)


Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: MESS(1)
Jockey: S’manga KHUMALO – Trainer: Candice DAWSON 

MESS has shown fair form in his three efforts thus far and he was gelded during the nine week absence. His yard is in good form and the chestnut should continue to progress. He jumps from the best draw and though he makes his track debut, his debut experience around the turn will be crucial.

TOP BET
Race 3: FLAMINGO VLEI(1)
Jockey: Callan MURRAY – Trainer: Alec LAIRD

FLAMINGO VLEI wasn’t well handled in her disappointing last effort in a workrider’s event and that run must be completely ignored. Her smart penultimate effort over this trip on the standside course proves her worth and she can quickly bounce back from a good draw here.

Race 7: DAWN ASSAULT(3)
Jockey: Marco VAN RENSBURG – Trainer: St John GRAY 

The eventual pacesetter could profit most in this likely false run affair for three-year olds over the mile. DAWN ASSAULT has plenty of mileage on his clock but he has campaigned with relative success in older company, albeit in lesser handicaps. His penultimate run showed that he is capable with frontrunning tactics and the bay colt could have the run of the race today.

Race 8: DAWN FLIGHT(11)

Jockey: S’manga KHUMALO – Trainer: Sean TARRY

DAWN FLIGHT has shown slight improvement since being equipped with blinkers and her short burst helped her on this tight circuit last time out. The daughter of Elusive Fort beat lesser rivals that day but she has been well placed here and can follow-up despite the resultant two pound penalty. The Tarry inmate still has room for progress and her good draw is a major plus.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:


Race 9: OLD OAK TREE(3)

Jockey: Andrew FORTUNE – Trainer: Joe SOMA 

OLD OAK TREE has only shaped on this course and he drops heavily in class after facing much stronger in recent efforts. He appeared badly in need of his comeback run three weeks ago and will strip fitter now. The Gimmethegreenlight gelding continues to drop in the merit ratings and he can show huge improvement at this level. He runs well for Fortune and jumps from a good draw. The Soma inmate is the yard’s only entrant and his smart performance behind Al Fahad on this course three runs back stands out in his formline.
