Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: MABONENG (5)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: S Tarry
MABONENG is better than her last start against male company. It must be noted that Royal Guide has come out and won again since. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off her back and from her good draw of two, she may be hard to peg back.
Race 5: RUNNING RIFLES (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: T Peter
RUNNING RIFLES stayed on when second over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. It must be noted that Suryavarman has come out and won again since. The son of Vercingetorix won his penultimate start on this course. He is having his peak run and despite his big mass of 62kgs, he should be too good for this field.
Race 6: BALLROOM BLISS (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: B Botes
BALLROOM BLISS ran on from last when 1.4 lengths behind PRINCESS KESH last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Gavin Lerena is likely to adopt the same tactics from the widest draw and she will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Top Bet For Today
Race 8: GOLDEN SICKLE (1)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: T Peter
GOLDEN SICKLE was an easy winner in her first start for the Tony Peter stable. She showed good speed, found another kick and drew off in the closing stages. She received a four-pound penalty for that victory and despite her big mass of 62kgs, she should be too good for this field.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: WINGS OF NIKE (6)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: S Naidoo
WINGS OF NIKE has decent recent form lines to her credit. She finished 2 lengths behind SILVER WINTER in her penultimate run. She is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won twice, finished second twice and third once from eight starts over this C&D. Rachel Venniker takes the ride and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
