Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: EVANGELINE(7)

Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: Corne SPIES

EVANGELINE has quite surprisingly campaigned over shorter in all three of her local starts, including a recent performance on this course last Friday. Of course she produced the highlight of her career when 2nd best on the Highveld in her only ten furlong attempt three starts ago so today's trip will suit the daughter of Elusive Fort perfectly. She could represent good each/way value here. 

Race 4: OASIS QUEEN(6)

Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: Hekkie STRYDOM

OASIS QUEEN took on much stronger opposition in her moderate last performance where racing wide clear- ly hampered her chances. Her smart prior form at this level makes her an obvious contender today and the tough daughter of Golden Sword should quickly bounce back here.

TOP BET

Race 5: STAR BURST GALAXY(8)

Jockey: Callan MURRAY - Trainer: Tara LAING

There are some decent form entrants in this competitive seven furlong contest but the weights heavily favour the ultra-consistent four-year old STAR BURST GALAXY who is unbeaten from two efforts on this surface. The Tara Laing inmate was immediately rested after a fair last feature performance on the grass and she had quality prior form, including being beaten just over one length by the distance specialist CUP CAKE (2kgs worse off) in her penultimate showing.

Race 6: LORD WINDERMERE(3)

Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

The track specialist LORD WINDERMERE produced a classy winning performance on his seasonal debut recently and he probably escaped with just a three pound penalty. The bay colt will strip fitter today and he can raise his game in this higher company. He has drawn best of all. 

VALUE BET

Race 2: BIG JAY'S(1)

Jockey: Chase MAUJEAN - Trainer: Hekkie STRYDOM

The Kensington Oval formline on 26/09 features prominently in this small field and the lightly raced six-year old BIG JAY'S should continue to improve his form. The chestnut gelding stayed on well to register his career best effort over 1900m in the above-mentioned event and he gave every impression that today's extra distance will suit.
