Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: BURNING MIST(3)
Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

BURNING MIST brings smart form into this contest and her latest formline was boosted when the 4th placed finisher Bring Me More won a close decision subsequently. Furthermore, the 7th placed entrant Espera went down narrowly next time out. This inmate from the Greeff yard is ideally c & d suited and she should go very close to winning this ordinary contest.

TOP BET

Race 3: CLOSE TO MY HEART(4)
Jockey: Juan-Paul v.d.MERWE - Trainer: Gavin SMITH

The natural frontrunner CLOSE TO MY HEART has firmly found her best form again and she was pipped in the last strides on this course over shorter seven days ago. She fought off the spirited challenge of Come On Inn initially but was nabbed on the post. It could certainly pay to follow the latter's progress in today's opening event and this daughter of Marchfield should take all the beating here.

Race 7: HANDSOME HENRY(2)
Jockey: Luyolo MXOTHWA - Trainer: Grant PADDOCK

The lack of pace is a definite concern in this low-key handicap where HANDSOME HENRY should profit heavily from being equipped with blinkers. The former KZN resident brings smart form into this contest having finished runner-up in both local starts on this course, the latest at a higher level over a mile.

Race 8: DIRECT ROUTE(5)
Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

There should be lots of speed in this competitive but exciting low-key handicap where the promising Pathfork filly DIRECT ROUTE is expected to return to winning ways. The Greeff inmate wasn't disgraced when she stayed on for 4th despite being badly out at the weights at graduation level over this c & d recently. She will be cherry-ripe today and of course she impressed with back-to-back victories prior to that. 

VALUE BET

Race 5: ZAMA(5)
Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

The TIN SOLDIER formline is well-represented in this competitive handicap and ZAMA can avenge his recent defeat to the former over this c & d three weeks ago. The chestnut gelding was cramped late but still stayed on to finish 3rd, beaten just over one length at the wire and he now meets his conqueror on 1.5kgs better terms.
