Race 2: FLYING RUSSIAN(3)
Race 3: B TWENTY ONE(6)
Race 7: ROMI’S BOY(2)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: TWELVE OAKS(3)
Jockey: Calvin HABIB – Trainer: St JOHN GRAY
TWELVE OAKS was outpaced in top company recently but made late progress and clearly has huge scope for improvement. She showed pace before thrashing subsequent easy winner Brave Mary on debut prior to that and the daughter of Pathfork drops heavily in class here. She should cope with the minimum trip.
TOP BET
Race 3: B TWENTY ONE(6)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH – Trainer: Mike DE KOCK
B TWENTY ONE is well on her way to realizing her true staying potential and she comes here searching for a hat-trick of wins. She thrashed a few of today’s rivals over this c & d recently and is again weighted to go close.
Race 7: ANGEL’S POWER(1)
Jockey: Juan-Paul VAN DER MERVE – Trainer: Scott KENNY
The Golden Man c & d formline could hold up well in this very competitive handicap and the first selection DRAGON’S BREATH will love the likely strong gallop. That didn’t materialize in the event referred to above but the home-based entrant still finished strongly for a close 5th in the blanket affair.
Race 8: DREAMUPONADREAM(5)
Jockey: Muzi YENI – Trainer: Mike DE KOCK
DREAMUPONADREAM is seldom beaten far and he continues to steadily drop in the ratings after facing stronger opposition for quite some time now. He possibly represents the strongest formline when making late headway behind Spring Steel recently and should bounce back to best today.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 9: PISTOLERO(4)
Jockey: Gunter WROGEMANN – Trainer: Paul MATCHETT
PISTOLERO made late headway in stronger company over seven furlongs recently but prefers sprinting and could be a major force back in this class. He has exactly two lengths to find with the smart DON CHRISTO on his penultimate run over this c & d and is only 1kg better off but was racing twice inside three days. The Ashaawes gelding could be a totally different proposition.
