Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: PEARL IN HER CROWN (4)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: P Matchett
PEARL IN HER CROWN made the expected natural improvement when second in her last start over 1160m at Turffontein. The manner in which she ran on at the finish that day was eye-catching. It must be noted that Stars And Bra’s has come out and finished third in a Grade 3 since. The daughter of Soqrat will love the rise to the mile and she may be the one to side with.
Top Bet For Today
Race 2: LITTLE BALLERINA (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Dawson
LITTLE BALLERINA won a game race in her last start in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The daughter of Vercingetorix is the class horse in this race and she should take a power of beating.
Race 3: SHINTO SHRINE (14)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
SHINTO SHRINE produced a promising debut effort over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. He was slow into stride, understandably raced green but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. The son of Danon Platina would have gained from the experience and he should love the extra 200m on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 5: SUKHUMVIT (10)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: N Kotzen
SUKHUMVIT ran a good race when second in the Listed Ormond Ferraris Oaks Trial last time. She was slow into stride, but finished off her race nicely. It must be noted that Frances Ethel has come out and won a Grade 2 since. The daughter of Silvano carries a nice weight of 53.5kgs and she should give the males a run for their money.

Race 8: WALLED GARDEN (7) (Each Way)
Jockey: N Klink – Trainer: J Soma
WALLED GARDEN showed good improvement in his last start over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. He takes on weaker opposition this afternoon and if confirming his recent improvement, he should be the one to beat.
