Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: STUNNING SEED(3)

Jockey: G Wrogemann  -  Trainer:  S Humby 

STUNNING SEED should have plainly finished closer but for traffic issues after a strange recent ride over this c & d four weeks ago. The long-time maiden can heavily reduce the deficit with the lightly raced and improving CAMPHORATUS who will still have much supporters. The former is her yard's only entrant on the card and she will be fitter.

Race 2: RIVER OF JANUARY(9)

Jockey: D De Gouveia- Trainer: D Drier

The full-brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Bela-Bela, RIVER OF JANUARY, posted two fair efforts last year but may have been given time to strengthen as he returns from a 19 week absence tonight. He could be a serious threat if reproducing his fair debut over five furlongs on this course.

Race 6: GREEN ICE(7)

Jockey: A Mgudlwa  - Trainer: A Wright 

The three-year old GREEN ICE put a disastrous two consecutive efforts behind her as she showed her true capabilities with a narrow recent victory over the chestnut mare ZILLA (2kgs better off). The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight switched at a crucial stage and then finished strongly to collar the latter on the line in an exciting finish over a similar trip on this track. She seems to have escaped with just the minimum two pound penalty and can follow-up despite the weight turnaround.

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 7: PURE VALOR(4)

Jockey:  L Pagel  - Trainer: L Denysschen

The veteran campaigner PURE VALOR loves racing on this surface and he kept going well to beat a decent field over further on this track earlier in the month. He may have escaped with just the minimum two pound penalty and can certainly follow up at this slightly lesser level. The drop to the mile won't be an issue.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY (Kenilworth, Sun Met)

Race 3: AFRICAN NIGHT SKY(14)

Jockey: B Fayd'Herbe   - Trainer: J Snaith 

The Queen's Plate formline is strongly represented in this prestigious event & of course that contest produced a spectacular finish. Of course the winner's time indicated that the race was run at a false tempo which clearly didn't suit last season's Winter Series victor, AFRICAN NIGHT SKY, who deserves another chance on his peak showing. The Dynasty gelding will much prefer this ten furlongs and he can upset his fancied rivals.
