Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: FLOWER OF CARMEL(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: C Bass-Robinson

FLOWER OF CARMEL has shown promise and she bounced back to best on her return to this track at the turn of the year. She was outrun late into 2nd by the heavily backed favourite that day and can go one better over this slightly shorter trip.

Race 3: BENDY BULLET(1)

Jockey:  C Orffer  - Trainer: A Sands

BENDY BULLET has found her form again and she had an eye-catching finishing burst after finding traffic problems in her last c & d effort. She finished just a short head in front of STAR BURST prior to that and is a huge contender here.

TOP BET

Race 4: FUJIN(6)

Jockey: B May- Trainer: J Stewart 

FUJIN appeared in desperate need of his comeback run over a similar distance recently but he will strip fitter and should bounce back to his best form. Of course the bay gelding produced a creditable penultimate performance when beaten exactly three lengths on this course in handicap company. He was runner-up to subsequent winner Mister Colin prior to that.

Race 8: THE GOON SHOW(1)

Jockey: L Mxothwa - Trainer: G Kotzen

THE GOON SHOW is lightly raced and may prefer dropping slightly in distance today. The Pathfork gelding had two much improved comeback efforts up to this distance after being rested and gelded. He raced in a decent line-up over the mile recently and that formline could be worth following.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 6: EVIE'S LIGHT(6)

Jockey: A Andrews  - Trainer: G Ennion

EVIE'S LIGHT enjoys racing on this course and she should have finished much closer to her rivals but for some traffic issues in her comeback run four weeks ago. She will strip fitter now and was kindly docked three pounds in her rating. Today's extra furlong will suit the daughter of Antonius Pius.
