Race 3: GIMME A SHOT (6)
Race 5: LADY FALLON (2)
Race 9: MOUNT PILATUS (2)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: TYRCONNELL (8)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M de Kock
TYRCONNELL ran a great race when second in his first run out of the maidens over 1400m on the Standside course. The son of The United States has plenty of ability and will love the rise to the mile. From his good draw of two, he may be the one to side with.
Race 5: MAGICAL FLIGHT (8)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: S Tarry
MAGICAL FLIGHT set her own fractions up front over this distance on the Standside course last time and kept finding to hold all challengers at bay. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. Serino Moodley is likely to adopt the same tactics and she may be hard to peg back.
Race 8: LADY CRUSADE (8)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
LADY CRUSADE finished 1.7 lengths behind IN THE ETHER last time. She is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has plenty of scope and may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 10: TWICE THE STORM (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
TWICE THE STORM was doing his best work at the finish when third over 1160m on the Standside course last time. The son of Twice Over should have no issues with the rise to 1450m. He has dropped to a competitive rating and can return to winning ways in this line-up.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: MOUNT PILATUS (2)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: P Matchett
MOUNT PILATUS has decent consistent form lines to his credit. He stayed on when third over 1160m on the Standside course last time. He jumps from a good draw of four and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can notch up his second-career victory.
