Race 6: FAIRY KNIGHT (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SILVONIAN (10)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: G Smith
SILVONIAN has produced two good second place finishes to date. He showed good speed over 1000m last time but may have cost himself winning as he shifted away from the crop in the closing stages. The son of Horizon is a progressive type and if seeing out the extra furlong on offer, he can shed his maiden tag.
Race 3: RUN FOR ME (3)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: G Smith
RUN FOR ME showed good improvement in his local debut over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The tongue-tie seems to have done the trick on the son of Master Of My Fate. If getting away to a clean start, he can shed his maiden tag.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: FAIRY KNIGHT (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: A Greeff
FAIRY KNIGHT won a game race in the Sophomore Plate last time. He raced from a handy position, moved up and kept finding all the way to the line. He is likely to race on the speed from his good draw of two and should notch up the hat-trick.
Race 7: THREE ROCKS (10)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: A Greeff
THREE ROCKS is much better than her last start in the Grade 2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes. Her penultimate run when third in the Grade 2 wsb.co.za Southern Cross Stakes catches the eye. She has won three times and finished second once from as many starts on this course. On best form shown, she should notch up her sixth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: TREASURE HUNT (4)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: S Kotzen
TREASURE HUNT is better than her last start against male company over 1400m on this course. The daughter of Elusive Fort finished second in her only C&D attempt, three runs ago. She has cracked a good draw of three and in this class, she may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
