Race 2: TAIKONAUT (4)
Race 3: SMELTING (3)
Race 5: LIGHT OF THE MOON (4)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: TAIKONAUT (4)
Jockey: Lerena G – Trainer: Magner R
TAIKONAUT was unlucky not to have won his last start as he hung from the 600m mark and had to be switched at the 400m mark. The son of Twice Over should have no issues with the drop back to 1000m and if keeping on a straight line, he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: ANFIELDS ROCKET (8)
Jockey: Mxoli P – Trainer: Maroun G
ANFIELDS ROCKET produced a promising debut effort over this C&D, two weeks ago. He lost a length at the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. The son of Coup De Grace would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: LIGHT OF THE MOON (4)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Botes B/Vosloo
LIGHT OF THE MOON ran a cracker when finishing second in the Grade 2 SA Oaks last time. She set the pace, but was outrun in the latter stages by subsequent feature race winner Rain In Holland. She is a filly with ability and should be the horse to beat.
Race 6: EXPRESSFROMTHEUS (3)
Jockey: V.Rensburg M – Trainer: Pettigrew S
EXPRESSFROMTHEUS finished 0.5 lengths behind GOLDEN PHEASANT last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day was eye-catching. He won his only attempt on this course and can go one better here.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: QUIET REBELLION (8)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Pettigrew S
QUIET REBELLION stayed on when finishing 2 lengths behind the winner in the Listed Spook Express Stakes last time. She should have no issues with the drop to 1500m as she won over the mile in the past. She takes a drop back in class and will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.
