Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ZANTHAR (1)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: M G/A A Azzie
ZANTHAR ran a fair race when taking on winners in his last start over 1400m at Turffontein. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He is back in Maiden Company and may be the one to beat. He is carded to race on 20 July 2024 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 3: MANZ KNIGHT (3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: L Karriem
MANZ KNIGHT lost a length leaving the start last time, but stayed on to finish fourth over 2000m on the Turffontein Inside course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He will strip a much fitter horse and in this field, he may be the one to beat. He is carded to race on 23 July 2024 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: FIFTH OF JULY (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: D Nieuwenhuizen
FIFTH OF JULY‘S last three starts have been good. He took the lead at the 150m mark last time, but was touched off by Sparkling Jubilee. He has won once, finished second twice and third twice from eleven starts over this distance. Gavin Lerena takes the ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Race 6: RISKY BUSINESS (9)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: St JD Gray
RISKY BUSINESS was running on when second over 1160m on the Standside course last time. She has finished second once and third twice from four starts on this course. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and she should be mowing down the frontrunners.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: BEGUILING (11)
Jockey: B Plaatjies – Trainer: P Labuschagne
BEGUILING finished 1.45 lengths behind FEELING GROOVY last time. She is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She carries a light mass of 49kgs and with luck in running, she can notch up her second-career victory.
