Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: FIRST CRUSADE(2)

Jockey: Stuart RANDOLPH - Trainer: Dean KANNEMEYER

FIRST CRUSADE has shown decent ability but was 2nd best behind the fast improving subsequent winner Zen Arcade in his recent sprint at Scottsville. His conditioner is still searching for his optimum distance but his penultimate outing indicated that the Crusade gelding could prefer today's seven furlongs. Of course the main concern will be how he handles this surface.

TOP BET

Race 2: GREEN ICE(1)

Jockey: Gunter WROGEMANN- Trainer: Alyson WRIGHT

GREEN ICE showed smart credentials during the winter and she was heavily supported to down the colours of subsequent Grade 1 winner Lady In Black over this c & d last time out. She is finally back in maiden company on her seasonal debut and she would have strengthened during the 12 week absence. The bay daughter of Gimmethegreenlight has above-average potential and she could be worth following.

Race 3: KEEP YOUR LIGHT(1)

Jockey: Sherman BROWN- Trainer: Des EGDES

KEEP YOUR LIGHT ON is a track specialist who found form when running on late for a close 3rd over this trip at a similar level earlier this campaign. He is only 0.5kg worse off with the 4th placed runner STORM OUTGOING and should be highly competitive. He is the stable's only entrant on the card.

Race 9: GREEN FAIRY(8)

Jockey: Keagan DE MELO- Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS

GREEN FAIRY could do with a pair of blinkers after she needed to be hard ridden throughout her latest effort in a competitive mile contest on this course a fortnight ago. The lightly raced daughter of Gimmethegreenlight may have just needed the effort as well but she did make eye-catching late headway, indicating that tonight's extra furlong will be right up her alley. She should continue to improve with experience and is a major threat from her good draw

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 7: SWEET REFRAIN(7)

Jockey:  Tristan GODDEN- Trainer:  Lezeanne FORBES

The Dance Off c & d formline is well-represented in this low-key handicap where a form reversal could be on the cards. SWEET REFRAIN raced wide when tiring late in that event and though the bay gelding has much to find with the runner-up MASTER SHOGUN and 3rd placed finisher DOM SEGUIDOR, he jumps from pole position tonight and that could be the difference. The former of the pairing tried hard when going down narrowly in that recent clash and he will benefit from a 2.5kgs apprentice claim. That said his young jockey has to negotiate a wide barrier.
