Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: RUNAWAY PRINCESS (7)
Race 2: ABALUS (1)
Race 3: LILLIANA (4)
Race 5: IDEAL JET (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: ABALUS (1)
Jockey: Hewitson L – Trainer: Fortune A
ABALUS has finished second in her last five starts. She showed good speed last time, but found one too good in the form of La Valliere. The daughter of Jackson should enjoy the drop back to the 1000m and with Lyle Hewitson in the saddle, she should shed her maiden tag.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 3: LILLIANA (4)
Jockey: Hewitson L – Trainer: De Kock M
LILLIANA showed very good improvement against winners in her last start over 1400m at Turffontein. That was her first start with the blinkers fitted. The daughter of Vercingetorix will love the step up to the mile and she should go one better here.
Race 6: LADY OF THE FLAM (1)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Matchett
LADY OF THE FLAME followed up her maiden win with a good second-place finish over 1600m at Turffontein. It must be noted that Timeforthat has come out and won again since. The daughter of Act Of War takes a drop in class and should be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
Race 8: SIGNALS (4)
Jockey: Hewitson L – Trainer: Tarry S
SIGNALS followed up his maiden win with a good third-place finish over 1400m at Turffontein. He won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over this C&D. He is carded to race on 22 August 2021 and his progress in that race will need to be checked.
VALUE BET
Race 5: SPLASH OF GREEN (6)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Marwing W
SPLASH OF GREEN was not disgraced in the Grade 1 Thekwini Stakes last time. She was carried outwards at the 1500m mark that day, raced wide and understandably lacked a finish in the straight. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight makes her Handicap debut, but she carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs. She looks to have plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
