Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 5: METAR (4)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: B Crawford
METAR raced from a handy position over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time, moved up well but was caught late by My Flower Fate. She has won once and finished third once from three starts over this C&D. The daughter of Soft Falling Rain jumps from a good draw of four and can notch up her third career victory.
Race 6: MISTER MONOCLE (5)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: J Snaith
MISTER MONOCLE finished 1.5 lengths behind CORONATION TIME is his last start. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won twice and finished third once from four starts over this distance. Keagan de Melo takes the ride and he will be doing his best work at the finish.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: EPIKLEROS (8)
Jockey: G Van Niekerk – Trainer: J Snaith
EPIKLEROS was running on when third over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The daughter of Master Of My Fate is a progressive type. She is having her first run on this course and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 7: ZIPPY OVER (2)
Jockey: G Van Neikerk – Trainer: J Snaith
ZIPPY OVER was an easy winner of her last start over 1950m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She quickened up well, took the lead at the 400m mark and won with a ton in hand. The daughter of Twice Over received a four-pound penalty for that victory. She meets similar company this afternoon and can follow up.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: THE FUTURIST (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
THE FUTURIST finished 0.4 lengths behind SOLAR POWER last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The son of Futura is likely to have his own way in front from pole position and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
