Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: COURAGEOUS (4)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: C Dawson
COURAGEOUS has finished second in her last two starts, the latest over a mile, 1.7 lengths behind the victor. She was slow away that day, but finished off her race well. She gets a handy draw three and looks to be the one to side with here.
Race 6: HOUSE OF ROMANOV (2)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
HOUSE OF ROMANOV has won two of his last three outings, the latest over 1700m by a head. The colt has pulled a neat draw two and the double is very much on the cards. EIFFEL TOWER in turn has won three of his last five runs, the latest over seven furlongs by 0.4 lengths. He has won over the mile before, so the step up in trip should not present an issue.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: RAVEN BLACK (4)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
RAVEN BLACK completed his hat-trick when winning last time out over six furlongs by 3.25 lengths. He will be having his peak run and looks to be a decent sort in the making.
Race 8: CHASING HAPPINESS (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
CHASING HAPPINESS won over five furlongs first time out and then finished second next time out over 1160m, 0.5 lengths behind the winner. She will again be partnered by Gavin Lerena, which is a plus.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: SPARKLING JUBILE (4)
Jockey: D de Gouveia– Trainer: M de Kock
SPARKLING JUBILEE is a 4-year-old filly taking on males, but she finished really well in her last start when 3 lengths behind the winner. She finished well after a slow start and should enjoy the extra ground on offer here.
