Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: QUEEN OF LOVE (10)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: R Magner
QUEEN OF LOVE produced a promising debut effort over 1400m on the Standside course. She challenged strongly all the way to the line that day, but found one too good in the form of Too Late My Mate. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Rafeef would have come on from the run and should love the rise to the mile. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat.
Race 3: A PLACE IN THE SUN (1)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: B Crawford
CRUSADE’S STAR followed up his maiden win with a good third-place finish over this C&D. It must be noted that there have been multiple winners from that form line. He meets a similar type of field and from pole position, may be the one to side with.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: MIGHTY GODDESS (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: W Marwing
MIGHTY GODDESS is the best bet on the programme. She should have won her last start as she hung in the final 200m. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this distance. The daughter of Flying The Flag meets the right field today and if keeping on a straight line, she should notch up her fourth-career victory.
Race 8: ICE STAR (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: F Habib
ICE STAR has consistent form lines to her credit. She showed good speed over this distance last time, but found one too good in the form of Time Fo Orchids. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this distance. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: BRAVE VIKING (8)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: J Soma
BRAVE VIKING ran a fair race over 1400m on the Standside course last time. It must be noted that Mid Winter Wind has come out and won again since. The son of William Longsword has dropped in the ratings and with a bit of luck from his wide draw, he can win a race of this nature.
