Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: WILD RENDEZVOUS(7)

Jockey: S LEMBETHE  - Trainer: M MILLER

WILD RENDEZVOUS has progressed with each outing and his momentum was temporarily halted when he struck a bird midway through his last performance on this course. He should have finished closer that day and will enjoy today's extra furlong. 

Race 2: LIVE IN LOVE(13)

Jockey: G WROEGEMANN- Trainer: L GOOSEN

LIVE IN LOVE was unfancied when she produced an eye-catching debut over seven furlongs on the grass in a strong field last month. The bay filly raced wide after being drawn badly but she ran on strongly at the finish and was just three parts of a length adrift of the 3rd placed entrant PLAYLIST whom she meets on identical weight terms. She should love the extra furlong and can make heaps of progress.

Race 7: LONDON CALL(1)

Jockey: B LERENA - Trainer: M DIXON

The best weighted LONDON CALL kept up his smart c & d record when he found extra to beat stronger rivals in his comeback showing five weeks ago. He should turn the tables with DOING IT FOR DAN on his favourite track. The latter hasn't raced for 14 weeks since he registered an upset at pinnacle level in the spring but he is only 1.5kgs worse off with the top selection for the 2.50 lengths defeat.

TOP BET

Race 8: SUN ON AFRICA(3)

Jockey: A DELPECHE  - Trainer: M DIXON  

SUN ON AFRICA has remained consistent despite some issues and he posted two eye-catching comeback efforts over a mile at Greyville. He meets his former stablemate CELTIC CAPTAIN on 1kg better terms for a half a length defeat and can turn the form around on his peak outing today. The latter also has some niggles but he goes well fresh and should be competitive despite the hefty burden.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 6: PANZA(7)

Jockey: G Wrogemann  - Trainer: G Puller

The veteran campaigner and track specialist PANZA has finished close-up in similar contests recently and rather interestingly, his two latest finishing times over this c & d were quicker than today's rivals TIMEOUS (course specialist with eye-catching last win) and ROYALSECURITYPOWER (close-up lately and also has decent c & d statistics).
