Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 5: BEATING WINGS (10)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Pettigrew
BEATING WINGS produced an encouraging debut effort over 1400m at the Vaal. She was green in running, but stayed on nicely at the finish. The daughter of Rafeef would have come on from the run and should love the rise to the mile. With a bit of luck from her wide draw of 12, she should be the one to beat.
Race 6: MELECH (2)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Magner
MELECH was not beaten far in the Grade 2 Allied Steelrode – Onamission Charity Mile last time. He raced from a prominent position before getting outrun late. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. The son of William Longsword jumps from a good draw of three and should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: BATTLEGROUND (2)
Jockey: R Fourire – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND was a tad disappointing in his last start over this C&D. He received a bump at the 700m mark that day which didn’t help his chances. He finished 1.75 lengths behind FLYING BULL in his penultimate run. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. If putting his best foot forward, he should return to winning ways.
Race 8: TAEGAN’S CHAMP (1)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: F Habib
TAEGAN’S CHAMP was super-impressive when winning on debut over this distance at the Vaal. He lost a length leaving the start, but quickened up well before getting geared down in the closing stages. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He does take on stronger, but could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: FEEL ALL RIGHT (3)
Jockey: W Marwing – Trainer: W Marwing
FEEL ALL RIGHT raced from a handy position over 1450m on the Inside course last time, moved up but was caught late by Pocket Watch. Jockey Wesley Marwing is likely to use his early natural gate speed to get across without using up too much energy. He is in a good space and can shed his maiden tag.
