Race 3: PRETTY IN PEARLS (2)
Race 6: DUKE OF ROCK (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: WINTER PATH (3)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: S Tarry
WINTER PATH showed good speed over this distance at Turffontein last time, but was outrun late by Lovegrass. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Kabelo Matsunyane is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Race 6: DUKE OF ROCK (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: B Botes
DUKE OF ROCK raced from a prominent position over 1200m last time and stayed on to finish second. The son of Duke Of Marmalade takes a drop-in class and despite his big mass of 61.5kgs, he should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: JASIRI (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
JASIRI ran a good race when third over 1000m at Turffontein last time. She was slow into stride, but finished her race off well. The daughter of Canford Cliffs will love the rise to 1200m. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. From her good draw of four, she should be the one to beat.
Race 8: FULLY LOADED (2)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: F Habib
FULLY LOADED has good recent form lines to his credit. He moved up well over 1500m last time, but was outrun late by Hotarubi. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. The son of Pomodoro may be rewarded for consistency.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: DIVINE MOONLIGHT (5)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: W Marwing
DIVINE MOONLIGHT was not disgraced when fifth against stronger company over 1160m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that Cullinan Blue has come out and won again since. Raymond Danielson who was aboard the daughter of Querari when she won her maiden, steps back into the saddle. She returns to Handicap Company and should be the one to beat.
