Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SPLICETHEMAINBRACE (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: A Greeff
SPLICETHEMAINBRACE is the only winner in this contest. She showed good guts to win on debut over 800m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Master Of My Fate could be anything and if seeing out the 1000m, she can remain unbeaten.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: KHAYA’S HOPE (1)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: G Smith
KHAYA’S HOPE is a winner of his last two starts. He returns from a well-deserved 13-week break. The 4yo gelding has won three times and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He does have a wide draw to overcome, but gets the services of Craig Zackey who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle. The son of The United States is the horse to beat.
Race 7: DAWN OF GOLD (6)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: G Smith
DAWN OF GOLD has produced two decent efforts since winning her maiden. She raced from a handy position over this C&D last time and stayed on to finish second. It must be noted that United Express has come out and won again since. The daughter of Gold Standard is in a good space and can return to winning ways.
Race 8: FERRANDO (1)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: K Mitchley
FERRANDO should have finished closer to the winner in his last start over this C&D. He had to be switched for running room at the 200m mark. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The 5yo gelding takes a drop-in class and with a bit of luck in running, he should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: TRIP TO BARBERTON (10)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: G Smith
TRIP TO BARBERTON should have finished closer to the winner last time as she was steadied in the latter stages. She has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. She jumps from a good draw of four and can return to winning ways in this line-up.
