Race 4: IM THE BUZZ (1)
Race 5: WALTON HALL (6)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: HOOVES OF TROY (5)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: W Whitehead
HOOVES OF TROY had excuses in the Listed In Full Flight Handicap last time. He has won once and finished second three times from five starts over this C&D. He won his two previous efforts under Keagan de Melo. The 6yo gelding will strip a much fitter horse today and if keeping on a straight line, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Race 4: SPRING KISS (4)
Jockey: R Khathi – Trainer: W Nel
SPRING KISS followed up her maiden victory with a decent fourth-place finish over 1400m on this course. She tries the mile for the first time. If seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may be the one to beat.
Race 6: PETIT VERDOT (6)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: G Puller
PETIT VERDOT ran on strongly when second over this C&D last time. The daughter of What A Winter has dropped to a competitive rating and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should notch up her second career victory.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: FATEFUL DAY (2)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: G van Zyl
FATEFUL DAY was doing his best work late when fifth over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won over this C&D in the past. The son of Master Of My Fate takes a slight drop in class and from his good draw of two, he may be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: EXCEED EXPECTATION (4)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: W Nel
EXCEED EXPECTATION finished 2.1 lengths behind HALLERBOS last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Pomodoro has dropped in the ratings and with just 53.5kgs on his back, he can return to winning ways.
