Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: PUMPKIN PIE (7)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Dawson
PUMPKIN PIE produced a promising debut effort over 1160m on this course. He jumped inwards leaving the start and stayed on at the finish. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat in this line-up.
Race 4: GREEN SAPPHIRE (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
GREEN SAPPHIRE was doing her best work late when second over 1200m on the Inside course last time. She has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. She is drawn widest of all, but gets the services of Gavin Lerena who will give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: IMMEDIATE EDGE (4)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: MF/MF de Kock
IMMEDIATE EDGE is unbeaten from two starts, the latest of which was over this distance on the Inside course. He won his last outing with ease after hitting the front at the 300m mark. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Vercingetorix is loaded with ability and should take a power of beating.
Race 7: BATTLEGROUND (6)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND finished 2.4 lengths behind MARAUDING HORDE last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once and finished third twice from six starts over this C&D. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: ONE PARTY (7)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: F Bronkhorst
ONE PARTY jumped awkwardly leaving the starting stalls last time, but stayed on to finish third. She meets a similar line-up this afternoon. S’manga Khumalo is booked to ride and she can notch up her second-career victory.
