Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: PICK AGAIN(3)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe  - Trainer: G Smith

PICK AGAIN has solid credentials, including the gate speed to overcome his awkward barrier position. He should give another very good account of himself. The filly NICOLE also boasts decent form and she is the main threat to the first selection. She jumps from a midfield draw and produced her career best run over this track & trip.

Race 3: FAKE NEWS(5)
Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: Y Bremner

FAKE NEWS may be developing into a polytrack specialist even at this early stage of his career. He had two eye-catching performances on this course over shorter before fluffing his lines in a competitive field a fortnight ago. The chestnut gelding has a handy galloping mass and he should enjoy the rise to the mile.

TOP BET

Race 5: GITANGO TONIGHT(8)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe   - Trainer: G Smith

This is another wide open contest and the three-year olds could make their presence felt. GITANGO TONIGHT has been consistent since shedding her maiden tag and she is weighted to reverse the Tamashi form with runner-up RUBY DUCHESS.

Race 7: SILVA KEY(3)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: Y Bremner

SILVA KEY had excuses for her below-par recent showing on the grass and she reunites her rivalry with the top weight ZANZIBAR BEAT who finished exactly one length ahead of her on this course prior to that. The former is 0.5kg worse off at the weights but she jumps from a much kinder draw this time around and is importantly proven over this extra distance. The latter is drawn alongside the first selection and she is a huge threat. She has found some of her better form recently.

VALUE BET

Race 8: SPACE TATOO(8)
Jockey: F Herholdt - Trainer: G Paddock 

This is another wide open low-key handicap where the value could lie with the three-year old SPACE TATOO who had legitimate excuses for her shocking recent performance on the grass. She is way better on this surface though and her smart prior form bears testament to that.
