Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: BJORN IRONSIDE (3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vurren
BJORN IRONSIDE was considered good enough to race in the Western Cape during their feature season. He ran a decent race on debut in the Non-Black Type HeartFM Commonwealth Plate. He returns from a 20-week break, during which time he was gelded. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and if not too green around the turn, he can win a race of this nature.
Race 6: MAIN DEFENDER (3)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
MAIN DEFENDER was super-impressive when winning the Grade 1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes last time. The manner in which he quickened away from the opposition was eye-catching. The son of Pathfork is unbeaten from three starts over this distance. He jumps from a good draw of three and should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: DOUBLE GRAND SLAM (5)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: J Snaith
DOUBLE GRAND SLAM has been ultra-impressive in her last two victories. She took the lead at the 250m mark in the Grade 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes last time, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. The daughter of Vercingetorix is the form horse in this contest and she should notch up the hat-trick.
Race 8: SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: D Nieuwenhuizen
SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT produced a strong finish when winning the Grade 2 Hawaii Stakes last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is unbeaten from two starts on this course. He jumps from a good draw of two and should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: MAGMA MAGIC (4)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: T Rivalland
MAGMA MAGIC is better than his last start as he was reported to be coughing. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 1800m. It is encouraging that Sean Veale is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. If he is able to get into a prominent position, he can shed his maiden tag.
