Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: PHANTOM EXPRESS (9)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: P Matchett
PHANTOM EXPRESS is a speedy sort who was collared in the shadow of the post when finishing second last time out over this C&D, just a neck behind the winner. She is a filly taking on the boys, but she will be hoping to go one better today.
Race 2: JUST NUISANCE (2)
Jockey: K Brewer – Trainer: A Laird
JUST NUISANCE is seldom far off the action, having finished second in his last two starts, the latest over 1450m, 0.6 lengths behind the winner. He battled all the way down to the wire that day and will be looking to go one better here.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: SPRINGER (5)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: R Magner
SPRINGER has finished third in her last two outings, the latest over a mile, 1.9 lengths off the winner, but her jockey reported that he felt that there was something amiss with his mount, so that effort was encouraging. She is drawn the widest of them all in gate fourteen, but will have Gavin Lerena aboard, so will get all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Race 5: WITBLITS (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
WITBLITS goes for her hat-trick after victories over 1450m and the latest over nine furlongs by 3.5 lengths. Those were her first two runs for her new stable after relocating from Cape Town. She retains the services of in-form Calvin Habib and the trio is very much on the cards.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: AFTER HOURS (11)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: St J Gray
AFTER HOURS had his consistency rewarded with a 4.25 lengths victory last time out over 1160m. He sat just off the pace that day and then accelerated smartly to win going away. He has drawn gate six and should have no problem with the step up in distance.
