Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: PROCEED (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
PROCEED produced a promising debut effort over 800m at Turffontein. He understandably raced green, but stayed on at the finish. The son of Gimmethegreenlight found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. It must be noted that the horse that finished third has come out and won since. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.
Race 3: MONDIAL (7)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M/A Azzie
MONDIAL is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over this C&D. He raced from a handy position and found extra where it matters most. He received a six-pound penalty for that victory. The son of Flower Alley may still be ahead of the handicapper and can notch up the hat- -trick.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: TAEGAN’S CHAMP (3)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: F Habib
TAEGAN’S CHAMP is unbeaten from two starts. Despite hanging from the 400m mark last time, the manner in which he won was eye-catching. The son of Gimmethegreenlight should love the rise to 1600m. He looks to have plenty of class and should keep his unbeaten record intact.
Race 7: REAL RELIEF (4)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
REAL RELIEF’S last three starts have been fair. He raced from a handy position over 1400m last time and stayed on to finish third. He finished second in his only attempt on this course. The son of Rafeef should have no issues with the drop to 1200m and he will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: SIGRID SWING (5)
Jockey: W Marwing – Trainer: H v’d Westhuizen
SIGRID SWING challenged strongly in her last start over this C&D, but found one too good in the form of Nettleton. She has cracked a much better draw of four. The daughter of William Longsword is in a good space and will be involved at the finish.
