Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: PLINIAN (10)
Jockey: S Hlengwa – Trainer: G Puller
PLINIAN cost himself winning last time as he hung in the closing stages. He showed good speed before getting caught late. The son of Erupt has finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. He will strip a much fitter horse and if keeping on a straight line, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 5: FAIZAH (2)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: G van Zyl
FAIZAH has finished third in her last three starts, the latest of which was over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. She raced from a handy position that day and fought hard all the way to the line. The daughter of Querari should have no issues with the rise to 1750m and she can notch up her third-career victory.
Race 6: CAPE EAGLE (5)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: W Nel
CAPE EAGLE finished 1 length behind FORMAGEAR last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating them at the wire. He is unbeaten from two starts over this C&D and has a good chance of keeping that record intact.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: GLADATORIAN (4)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: S Ferrie
GLADATORIAN stayed on at the finish in the Grade 3 New Turf Carriers Merchants, but found one too good in the form of Dyce. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He finished second in his only attempt over this distance. He is having his peak run today and is the best weighted runner. The son of Vercingetorix should take a power of beating.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: HONSHU (3)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: S Ferrie
HONSHU showed some signs of a form return in his comeback run over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. How he stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. The good-looking son of Danon Platina would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. His only career victory came over this C&D. If getting away to a clean start, he can return to winning ways.
