Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: REAL RELIEF (5)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: B Crawford
LOVING THE VICTORY ran a good race when finishing third over this C&D, four weeks ago. She set the pace that day and stayed on nicely at the finish. She is likely to adopt the same tactics this afternoon and S’manga Khumalo may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Top Bet For Today
Race 2: WUGUG (16)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
WUGUG stayed on at the finish over 1100m on this course last time, but found one too good in the form of Divine Moonlight. The daughter of Rafeef steps up to the 1200m and will love the extra distance on offer. In this type of field, she should be the one to beat.
Race 5: GOOD COUNCIL (1)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: A Fortune
GOOD COUNCIL is better than his last start in the Grade 1 WSB SA Derby. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He won his penultimate start over this distance. Despite his big mass of 62kgs, he should have the class to win this contest.
Race 7: READY TO CHARGE (6)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: M/A Azzie
READY TO CHARGE was super-impressive when winning on debut over this C&D. Despite losing a length leaving the start, he showed good pace and won with a ton in hand. He would have gained from the experience. The son of Gimmethegreenlight does take on stronger, but he could be anything and can remain unbeaten.

Race 6: WHAT A TIGER (9)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: F Habib
WHAT A TIGER showed good speed over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time, but found one too good in the form of Covert Operator. He won his only attempt over this C&D. S’manga Khumalo takes the ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
