Race 5: DIVINE ODYSSEY (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: HONEST QUEST (2)
Jockey: Cheyne G – Trainer: Greeff A
HONEST QUEST received a bump leaving the start last time, but raced from a handy position and stayed on to finish second. The son of Pomodoro will enjoy the step up to 1300m. Greg Cheyne steps back into the saddle and with a bit of luck in running, he can shed his maiden tag.
Race 3: SILVER SLIPPERS (2)
Jockey: Agrella W – Trainer: Miller W
SILVER SLIPPERS has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She was running on strongly when second over this C&D, three weeks ago. She is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field from barrier eight and will be mowing down the frontrunners. Wayne Agrella takes the ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: DIVINE ODYSSEY (1)
Jockey: Strydom K – Trainer: Janse van Vuur
DIVINE ODYSSEY is unbeaten in four starts since arriving in the Eastern Cape. He raced over 2700m for the first time in his last start, quickened up well and won impressively. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from nine starts over this distance. He is unbeaten from two starts on this course and should keep that record intact.
Race 8: WINTER ASSEMBLY (5)
Jockey: Cheyne G – Trainer: Greeff A
WINTER ASSEMBLY finished 0.7 lengths behind TICKET TO RIDE last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is having his second run after a rest and will strip much fitter. He jumps from pole position and may be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: ZIG ZAG (13)
Jockey: Habib C – Trainer: Miller W
ZIG ZAG ran a good race when finishing second over this C&D, six weeks ago. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He has won twice, finished second four times and third twice from twelve starts over this C&D. He is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field from a wide draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
