Race 1: ZACATOO (5)
Race 4: POMODORO’S JET (2)
Race 6: FIRE ATTACK (2)
Race 8: EXPLOSIVE BOND (8)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: FLIGHT OF A COND (8)
Jockey: T Mayhew – Trainer: D Stenger
FLIGHT OF A CONDOR showed good speed over 1200m at the Vaal last time, before getting outrun late by Ilha Da Orange. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Var is suited to this distance and she can go one better.
Race 6: GREATERIX (3)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M De Kock
GREATERIX went way too fast up front in the Grade 2 Betway Dingaans last time and understandably did not go on with the effort. The son of Vercingetorix should be ideally suited to this distance and it is encouraging that Muzi Yeni is back in the saddle. He is a horse loaded with class and should be the one to beat.
Top Bet For Today
Race 8: RED MAPLE (5)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: S Tarry
RED MAPLE won a good race over this distance at the Vaal last time. Two of his five career victories have come on this course. Serino Moodley retains the ride and against similar company, she should follow up with another victory.
Race 9: CYMRIC (5)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
CYMRIC has good recent form lines to his credit. He showed good speed over 1160m last time, before getting outrun late by Cosmic Speed. The son of Vercingetorix has class about him and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should notch up his third-career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: TEXAS RED (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: R Klaasen
TEXAS RED stayed on at the finish over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Main Defender. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Kabelo Matsunyane is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him where it matters most.
