Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: STORM BRASCO (10)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: S Tarry
STORM BRASCO made the expected natural improvement when third over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. The manner in which he finished off his race that day was encouraging. The son of Pathfork is a progressive type and should be the one to beat.
Race 5: JET DYNASTY (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
JET DYNASTY ran on powerfully when winning his last start over 1800m at Turffontein. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He meets similar company this afternoon and can follow up.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: SIBERIAN STEEL (4)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
SIBERIAN STEEL finished 1.1 lengths behind ESQUEVELLE last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is in a good space and if getting away to a clean start, he can notch up his fourth-career victory.
Race 7: TROPPO VELOCE (2)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: S Tarry
TROPPO VELOCE was not disgraced when fourth in the Grade 3 Carry On Alice Stakes last time. She lost a length leaving the start, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She is unbeaten from two starts over this C&D. If getting away to a good start, she should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: LAW OF SUCCESS (4)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: P Matchett
LAW OF SUCCESS’ last start can be ignored as she was reported to be not striding out and coughing. She finished 0.75 lengths behind BEADED GOWN in her penultimate run and she is 1kg better off at the weights today. There should not be much separating the pair in the run down to the line. She is back against her own sex and may be the one to cause the upset.
