Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: THE SHEPHERD (9)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: P Muscutt
THE SHEPHERD ran a good race when third over 1200m last time. He raced from just off the pace and fought hard all the way to the line. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. The son of Captain Of All tries the 1400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra furlong, he should shed his maiden tag.
Race 6: DONQUERARI (13)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: L Goosen
DONQUERARI challenged strongly in this class over 1000m last time, but was touched off at the finish. The manner in which he has been finishing off his races suggests that the 1200m should suit him. Chase Maujean steps back into the saddle and if all goes according to plan, he can notch up his fourth career victory.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: FORESHORE (3)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: D Howells
FORESHORE ran on from last when second in the Non-Black Type Beach Beauty Mile last time. She has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. It is encouraging that Sean Veale steps back into the saddle and she should take a power of beating.
Race 8: NELSON BAY (6)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: P Muscutt
NELSON BAY was an easy winner of his last start over 1400m on this course. The manner in which he quickened away from the opposition was eye-catching. The son of Rafeef should have no issues with the rise to the mile and he can follow up.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: LAZY GUY (1)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: D Campbell
LAZY GUY was not disgraced when third against stronger company over this distance on the Polytrack last time. He has won once, finished second twice and third twice from eight starts over this C&D. He drops back in class and Sean Veale may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
