Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: CAPTAIN CLEVER (6)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
CAPTAIN CLEVER ran a fair race on debut over 1160m at Turffontein. He returns from a 12-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Captain Of All has plenty of scope and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: CAPTAIN JIM (3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: F Habib
CAPTAIN JIM stayed on when third over 1200m on this course last time. The son of Captain Of All would have come on from the run and should love the rise to the mile. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Race 4: SUGAR BLAST (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
SUGAR BLAST set the pace over this C&D last time and kept finding to hold all challengers at bay. He returns from a well-deserved 16-week break. Despite his big mass of 62kgs, he can follow up with another victory.
Race 5: CALIDA (3)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: W Marwing
CALIDA finished 1 length behind RISKY BUSINESS last time. He is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Calvin Habib retains the ride and the pair will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: COPPOLA (5)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: M Khan
COPPOLA finished 0.5 lengths behind WARM WINTER NITE last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Skitt Skizzle is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. He is likely to race on the speed and can go one better.
