Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: KINDRED HEART (4)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
KINDRED HEART made the expected natural improvement when second in her last start over 1160m on this course. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was encouraging. The drop to 1000m is a slight concern, but she should strip much fitter and can go one better in this line-up.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: GOLDEN SICKLE (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
GOLDEN SICKLE is a winner of her last three starts. She showed good speed over this C&D last time, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. Despite her big mass of 62.5kgs, she should keep her unbeaten record over this C&D intact.
Race 5: WESTERN WISHES (3)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: L Karriem
WESTERN WISHES produced an encouraging comeback run over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She lost two lengths leaving the start, but stayed on nicely at the finish. The daughter of What A Winter will love the rise to 1400m. Richard Fourie is booked to ride from a good draw of two and she may be the one to side with.
Race 7: LUCKY LAD (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: S Tarry
LUCKY LAD is much better than his last start in the Grade 1 Premiers Champion Stakes as he got off to an awkward start and raced wide around the turn. He returns from a 30-week break which would have done him the world of good. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is unbeaten from three starts on this course. If fit, he should be too good for this field.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: GOLDEN ASPEN (4)
Jockey: M van Rensburg – Trainer: C Spies
GOLDEN ASPEN should have finished closer to the winner last time as she was inconvenienced at the 300m mark. She has won once and finished third twice from five starts over this C&D. The daughter of Pomodoro has dropped to a competitive rating and she should give the males a run for their money.
