Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: RONDEBOSCH (7)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: S Tarry
RONDEBOSCH produced an encouraging debut effort in the Listed Storm Bird Stakes. The son of Gimmethegreenlight would have strengthened up during his time off the track. He takes on Maiden Company this afternoon and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: GREEN SAPPHIRE (3)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: S Tarry
GREEN SAPPHIRE produced a promising debut effort over this distance at the Vaal. She was slow into stride, understandably raced green but stayed on nicely at the finish. She would have gained from the experience and if not too green around the turn, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 6: HEART PEAKS (5)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: R Sage
HEART PEAKS won a good race in her last start over this C&D. The daughter of Erupt is unbeaten from two starts over this track and trip. She jumps from a good draw of three and can notch up her third- career victory.
Race 9: LOVEGRASS (5)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
LOVEGRASS followed up her debut victory with a good second-place finish over this C&D. She cost herself winning that day as she hung in the final 300m. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight looks to be above average and she should be the horse to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: WHAT A TIGER (3)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: F Habib
WHAT A TIGER ran a fair race in his last start over this distance at the Vaal. The son of What A Winter takes on weaker opposition today and his last good effort came in this Class. S’manga Khumalo is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him where it matters most.
