Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ARIVIDICIO (8)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: M De Kock
ARIVIDICIO produced two good second-place finishes at Turffontein before given a 25-week break. He stayed on nicely at the finish in the Listed Storm Bird Stakes last time, but found one too good in the form of Karangetang. The son of Flower Alley has been gelded and if not in need of the run, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 3: SASHAY AWAY (2)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: P B Muscutt
SASHAY AWAY was not disgraced when finishing sixth against the males over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. Both her career victories have come on this course. The daughter of Var is back against her own sex tonight and she can return to winning ways.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: MUSIC IS LIFE (7)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: G van Zyl
MUSIC IS LIFE is the best bet on the programme. He ran a good race when finishing second over 1200m on this course last time. He raced from a handy position, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Stevie Gee. The son of Oratorio should love the extra furlong on offer and he can go one better.
Race 5: SEQUOIA (5)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: M De Kock
SEQUOIA showed very good signs of a form return in his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He raced from a handy position and stayed on nicely to finish third. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Querari takes a drop in class and if confirming his recent improvement, he should return to winning ways.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: SOUTHERN CAPE (3)
Jockey: D B Geerthsen – Trainer: P Lafferty
SOUTHERN CAPE finished 0.65 lengths behind MACARA last time. She is 3kgs better off at the weights which should be enough for the tables to be turned. She is unbeaten from two starts over this C&D. The daughter of Flower Alley is likely to have her own way in front and may be hard to peg back.
