Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: COOL WINTER (1)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
COOL WINTER produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. He raced from a prominent position, but found one too good in the form of stable companion Fennec Fox. The son of What A Winter would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 4: BARD OF AVON (1)
Jockey: Domeyer A – Trainer: Fortune A
BARD OF AVON showed good speed in his last start over 1200m, but was outrun late by stable companion Captain Lannister. The son of Var is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. He is the best weighted runner in this contest and with Aldo Domeyer in the saddle, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 6: MUFASA (1)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
MUFASA went way too fast up front in his last start over 1200m with a big mass of 61.5kgs. He was an easy winner of his first two career outings on this course. The son of What A Winter will love the drop to 1000m and he should strip much fitter. He will be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
Race 7: AL SAKEET (2)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: De Kock M
AL SAKEET showed signs of needing his seasonal debut over 1160m on this course. The son of Var is unbeaten from four starts over this distance. He should strip a much fitter horse and on best form shown, will take a power of beating.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: AFTER HOURS(13)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Gray St John
AFTER HOURS finished 0.75 lengths behind ELUSIVE SWANN last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is carded to race on 07 December 2021 and his progress in that race will need to be checked. ELUSIVE SWANN was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this distance at the Vaal. He meets a similar type of field this afternoon and can follow up.
