Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: COLOUR YOUR DREAMS(2)
Race 3: LOLITA DELAGO(10)
Race 4: SURF’S UP(4)
Race 8: NIGHTINGALE(1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Jockey: Ashton ARRIES – Trainer: Paul LAFFERTY
MAKING MIRACLES has kept her form well in recent outings and deserves her first career win. She got going too late when 4th over seven furlongs in a competitive field six days ago and will prefer the step-up to the mile. She is her 2.5kgs claiming apprentice’s solitary ride on the card.
Race 2: THE BYZANTINE(11)
Jockey: Bernard FAYD’HERBE – Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL
THE BYZANTINE made smart improvement when producing a career best showing over this distance on the polytrack six weeks ago. The juvenile colt raced in open company under the lights for the first time in his short career but produced a powerful finish and was beaten just a short head into 2nd by Kali’s Champ (placed 3rd since). The 3rd (Turf Conqueror) & 4th (Ratso Rizzo) placed entrants have gone close subsequently which boosts the formline and this son of Crusade should have more to offer on his peak showing against his own age group.
TOP BET
Race 6: MACDUFF(8)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH – Trainer: Joey RAMSDEN
This event may be run at a more subdued gallop, particularly if the two reserve runners don’t get into this contest. The imported Street Cry gelding, MACDUFF showed his affection for this surface with a narrow victory over MR ROY (0.5kg better off) in this contest twelve months ago. He has blossomed since and produced two high-quality efforts on his return to the polytrack this winter. In fact, the four-year old was very unfortunate to lose his unbeaten track record when failing by a whisker over seven furlongs a fortnight ago after being very slow into stride. He gets the services of another top jockey today and can quickly bounce back to winning ways.
Race 9: LUCKY AT LAST(9)
Jockey: Weichong MARWING – Trainer: Nathan KOTZEN
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY
Jockey: Grant V/NIEKERK – Trainer: Candice BASS-ROBINSON
There are some very classy sprinters on display in this Listed contest which should be run at a cracking speed. The imported grey gelding RODNEY has shown a liking for this surface with two eye catching displays to date and he should be highly competitive with just 52.5kgs on his back. The son of Tapit finished strongly for a close 3rd over this track & trip two weeks ago and it could pay to follow the progress of the runner-up Varbration (runs in prior event). The Drier yard holds a strong hand with their pairing of HORSE GUARDS and LLOYD’S LEGACY.
