Race 2: BLINDFIRE (8)
Race 4: SAUDI SWEEP (9)
Race 5: CAPE SAFFRON (4)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 5: SUMMER WINTER (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M G/A A Azzie
SUMMER WINTER was her own worst enemy last time as she over raced in the early stages. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The daughter of What A Winter is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. If S’manga Khumalo can switch her off early, she should be involved at the finish.
Race 6: JUST VAR (1)
Jockey: A Fortune – Trainer: G Maroun
JUST VAR won a good race in his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this C&D. The son of Var is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: ARISTOTLE (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: A Laird
ARISTOTLE is better than his last start in the Grade 1 TAB SA Classic as he was reported to be not striding out. He finished third in his penultimate run in the Grade 2 TAB Gauteng Guineas. The son of Rafeef is having his peak run today and from his good draw of three, he should be the one to beat.
Race 9: KARATE KID (6)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: P Matchett
KARATE KID’S last start is best ignored as the jockey was dislodged. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from five starts on this course. He is the best-weighted runner with 53.5kgs on his back and can return to winning ways.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: STAR COIN (4)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: A Laird
STAR COIN stumbled leaving the start over 1800m last time and stayed on at the finish. He finished 1.75 lengths behind APACHE SON that day. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The son of Gold Standard would not be a shock winner.
