Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: AL QAQAA (8)

Jockey: Murray C – Trainer: De Kock M

AL QAQAA is the only mount for Callan Murray this afternoon. He ran a good race on debut when finishing third over six furlongs at the Vaal. He found plenty of betting support that day which suggests that he had been showing good work back at home. The son of Medaglia D’Oro would have come on from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be hard to beat.

Race 3: WINTER SMOKE (1)

Jockey: Khumalo S – Trainer: Fortune A

WINTER SMOKE is a filly taking on the males. She was ultra-impressive when winning her last start over six furlongs on the polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville. The daughter of What A Winter shows plenty of speed in her races and is loaded with ability. If all went well with her travels, she should take a power of beating.

Race 6: GOLDEN BELLE (1)

Jockey: Ferraris L – Trainer: Tarry S

GOLDEN BELLE has been ultra-impressive in her last two victories under Luke Ferraris. The daughter of Pomodoro looks to be getting better with each and every run. She is having her peak run today and can notch up the hat-trick.

TOP BET
Race 8: BOLD FORTUNE (10)

Jockey: De Gouveia D – Trainer: Pettigrew S

BOLD FORTUNE produced a very good debut effort over a mile on the Vaal Classic course. She was slow into stride that day, but the manner in which she finished off her race caught the eye. The daughter of Flower Alley will enjoy the rise to the ten furlongs and from her good draw of two, should take a power of beating.

VALUE BET

Race 7: HEART OF A LEGEN (7)
Jockey: Mxoli P – Trainer: Terzi G

HEART OF A LEGEND is the value bet on today’s card. She ran a good race in her last start, when running on from some way back. She will enjoy the rise to the mile with a record of two wins and four seconds from eleven attempts over this distance. 4kgs claiming apprentice Philasande Mxoli retains the ride this afternoon and the pair should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
