Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: RED OCTOBER SKY(6)
Jockey: Raymond DANIELSON - Trainer: Dorrie SHAM

RED OCTOBER SKY is an average type but has the best credentials of the raced entrants in this weak opening event. He weakened into 4th over this c & d recently but the 3rd placed finisher, his stable companion Dorman boosted the formline with an easy subsequent victory. The newcomers should be closely followed in the betting market with CRISTIAN and AFRICAN VICTORY the pick of them.

Race 4: COYOTE CREEK(6)
Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON - Trainer: Yvette BREMNER

COYOTE CREEK is a progressive youngster with smart form and he finished strongly for 3rd in a juvenile feature over this c & d early last month. He has competed with relative success against older rivals in the past and should take all the beating from his good draw today. The big threat could come from ANTE-OMNIA who had an eye-catching last sprint albeit at a much lower level. The injury plagued five year old is yet to prove his stamina beyond six furlongs but his recent finishing burst indicates that he should handle today's trip.

Race 7: PLACIDO(5)
Jockey: Xolani NDLOVU - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

The eight-year old gelding PLACIDO is in good touch and he can raise his game in today's stronger company. He meets recent conqueror LARIMAR on 3.5kgs better terms for a 1.75 lengths defeat over this c & d. 

TOP BET

Race 8: WIDOW'S LAMP(7)
Jockey: Jarryd PENNY - Trainer: Corne SPIES

WIDOW'S LAMP posted some very useful juvenile form over sprints on this track and she would have strengthened during another short absence. The three-year old is favourably drawn on her seasonal debut and she drops heavily in class after contesting a feature last time out

VALUE BET FOR TODAY:

Race 3: REEF OF FORTUNE(3) Scratched
Jockey: Mathew THACKERAY - Trainer: Tara LAING

REEF OF FORTUNE had shown useful sprint form since he last campaigned around the turn over today's distance. However, his last effort indicated that he may be searching for further nowadays as the five year old gelding began making late progress after racing right up with the early speed. Of course he was soundly beaten by top weight FREDERICK FOX in his last c & d showing earlier this year but pole position will be priceless and the speedy gelding can finish much closer to the latter.
