Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: CHAPPAQUIDDICK(5)
Jockey: Marco V/RENSBURG - Trainer: Gavin SMITH

CHAPPAQUIDDICK relished the extra ground when making smart improvement a fortnight ago. He stayed on strongly for 2nd in a competitive line-up over ten furlongs that day and his conditioner has kept faith with this jockey ahead of the stable pilot. The son of Mullins Bay should relish the extra two furlongs.

Race 3: ADMIRAL'S SWORD(2)
Jockey: Karl ZECHNER - Trainer: Yvette BREMNER

ADMIRAL'S SWORD had a much improved last outing when outrun late into 2nd over a mile by his smart stable companion Veeipee Club. That formline was boosted when the 4th placed entrant Seattle Dragon won subsequently and today's slightly shorter trip will suit the bay colt. The son of Antonius Pius has the gate speed to overcome his wide draw and he should go very well. 

TOP BET

Race 5: IMAGINE DRAGONS(3)
Jockey: Aldo DOMEYER - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

IMAGINE DRAGONS benefitted from blinkers when she bounced right back to form with an eye-catching last effort over five furlongs on this track. She may have escaped with just a pound penalty and the four-year-old is even better over this extra furlong. She will wear the headgear once again.

Race 6: CAPTAIN MAROONED(2) Scratched
Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: Tara LAING

There are some really speedy sorts who could easily cut throat's in this competitive affair and that should pave the way perfectly for the improving lightly raced five-year old CAPTAIN MAROONED. The injury plagued gelding expectedly followed up his impressive maiden victory with another cosy triumph when he beat BUCKINGHAMPSHIRE (2.5kgs better off) by more than two lengths over this c & d on handicap debut late last month. He now has his peak showing and has strong claims of reeling off the hat-trick.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY:

Race 8: PEONIE ROCK(7)
Jockey:  Liam TARENTAAL - Trainer: Gavin SMITH

There are quite a few natural pacesetters who will ensure a strong gallop in this competitive seven furlong fillies and mares handicap where the bay mare PEONIE ROCK is expected to thrive despite her wide barrier position. She acquitted herself quite well in strong company in her last two outings and the daughter of Rock Of Rochelle enjoys this c & d. She will benefit from a 4kgs apprentice allowance.
