Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: SPEED FLYER(8)

Jockey: K Steyn - Trainer: G Smith

SPEED FLYER confirmed his debut promise when fighting hard for a close 3rd in a thrilling finish over this c & d second time out. He finished just a short head adrift of the runner-up TUNE THE SCOPE and the pair should fight out another exciting duel.

Race 3: KAZURI(12)

Jockey: G Cheyne - Trainer: A Greeff

The grey filly KAZURI was fancied when she only got going late on her fair debut behind male rivals over five furlongs late last year. The daughter of Dynasty would have come on with that outing and the runner-up Pick Again boosted that formline with a subsequent triumph. This inmate from the Greeff yard should relish today's extra furlong.

Race 4: CRISTIAN(1)

Jockey: X Ndlovu - Trainer: A Greeff

The three-year old CRISTIAN renews his rivalry with COUNTING STARS & the pair were separated by a neck in favour of the former when they clashed over this trip on the polytrack last month. Interestingly, they were both returning from a short absence and will be fitter. Of course the former still has to prove himself on the grass after some indifferent performances but he could again be equal to the task.

TOP BET

Race 5: VIA SEATTLE(3)

Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: Y Bremner

The filly VIA SEATTLE expectedly under-performed on her homecoming after clocking up many miles on her travels. She was successful in a classy feature field over this trip on the Highveld though and would have now recovered from her journeys. She is extremely well treated by the weights in this feature and could give her male counterparts much to think about.

VALUE BET

Race 8: STORY OF MY LIFE(7)

Jockey: J V.D.Merwe - Trainer: G Smith

The day's topliner is a non-black mile event run at handicap terms which favour the lightweight STORY OF MY LIFE from the Gavin Smith yard. This four-year old bay gelding tired late after setting the pace in a c & d feature run at level weights in mid-December.
