Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: MARDI GRAS(2)
Jockey: G LERENA – Trainer: C DAWSON
Race 2: MARDI GRAS(2)
Jockey: G LERENA – Trainer: C DAWSON
The grey gelding and ruling Grand Heritage favourite MARDI GRAS has had his preparations altered following the postponement of the ‘Big Day’ but his conditioner has found a serious test for him to remain on the boil.

Race 3: CAPTAIN’S PRINCE(6)
Jockey: S KHUMALO – Trainer: S TARRY
Jockey: S KHUMALO – Trainer: S TARRY
CAPTAIN’S PRINCESS showed promising juvenile potential over sprints last term and she finished a creditable 3rd in the Nursery before fluffing her lines over further on the coast subsequently. She would have strengthened during the 13 week absence and is certainly one worth following.

CAPTAIN’S PRINCE(6) |
TOP BET
Race 7: AERONAUTICAL(1)
Jockey: F HERHOLDT – Trainer: M & A AZZIE
The lightly raced four-year old AERONAUTICAL has progressed smartly with each effort and he produced a highly pleasing last effort in decent company despite racing wide. The son of Captain Al should enjoy the extra furlong and could take a power of beating in this far weaker field.

AERONAUTICAL(1) |
Race 8: PACHANGA(1)
Jockey: G LERENA – Trainer: A FORTUNE
Jockey: G LERENA – Trainer: A FORTUNE
The ultra-consistent but costly to follow maiden PACHANGA fought hard when narrowly defeated over slightly shorter on this course recently but she finished a healthy four lengths ahead of today’s rival KISS AN ANGEL that day and should handle this extra furlong.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 5: TRIP TO PARADISE(4)
Jockey: K MATSUYANE – Trainer: C DE BEER
Jockey: K MATSUYANE – Trainer: C DE BEER
TRIP TO PARADISE runs well for this 4kgs claiming apprentice and the six-year old is 5.5kgs better off with recent conqueror SEVENTH OF JUNE for a 1.95 lengths defeat suffered a fortnight ago.
