Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: PRINCESS LOLA (13)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M Ragner
PRINCESS LOLA showed good improvement when second in her last start over 1200m. She raced from just off the pace, but found one too good in the form of Southern Style. The daughter of Royal Mo will love the rise to the mile and there should be more to come from her.
Race 3: EIFFEL TOWER (8)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: St J Gray
EIFFEL TOWER won a good race in his last start over this distance. He was switched for running room at the 300m mark and the manner in which he quickened away from the field was eye-catching. The son of Potala Palace takes on stronger, but he looks to have a lot of heart and should be up to the task at hand.
Top Bet For Today
Race 1: JORDAN (10)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
JORDAN was a beaten odds-on favourite in his last start over this distance. He returns from a 14-week break which would have done him the world of good. The son of Silvano has ability and if finding the form of his debut effort, he should be the one to beat.
Race 5: BATTLEGROUND (1)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND is a winner of his last two starts. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this distance. The son of Futura meets a similar line-up this afternoon and can notch up the hat-trick.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: THERE SHE GOES (1)
Jockey: T Mayhew – Trainer: W Marwing
THERE SHE GOES took on stronger company in her last start. Two of her four career victories have come over this distance. Apprentice Trent Mayhew takes the 4kgs off her back which will assist her cause. She takes a drop-in class and can notch up her fifth career victory.
