Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: PARADE'S END(13)
Jockey: Gareth WRIGHT - Trainer: Willem A NEL

PARADE'S END was quietly fancied when she showed good speed on her promising debut over this c & d earlier this month. She fought hard to go down narrowly and had the experienced Dinner Date (beaten close-up by subsequent winner Lady In Black prior to that) further behind her. The Querari filly should make natural improvement and is a major contender in this wide open affair.

Race 2: BARKING IRONS(1)
Jockey: Ian STURGEON - Trainer: Garth PULLER

BARKING IRONS made smart improvement when he ran on well for 3rd over this c & d in open company second time out. The bay gelding should prefer facing his own age group here and he will have more to offer.

Race 3: TOMMY GRAND(15)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Nathan KOTZEN

TOMMY GRAND attracted solid betting support when he weakened late on his debut in a decent field over this c & d last month but he would have come on appreciably from the experience. The well-related Fort Wood gelding has obviously shown his conditioner decent work back home and that formline has worked out extremely well with the runner-up Rock My Soul and 3rd placed finisher Eyes Wide Open winning their subsequent starts. Top jockey Anton Marcus takes the ride on the stable's only entrant today.

TOP BET

Race 7: PROFESSOR BRIAN (3)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer:  Joey RAMSDEN

PROFESSOR BRIAN failed to quicken under the lights in a feature recently and though that formline hasn't amounted to much the classy bay gelding drops considerably in grade today and could be an entirely different proposition today. The imported bay reeled off a five-timer this year, shortly after being gelded in early December. He is his powerful yard's solitary entrant on the card.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: KEEP YOUR LIGHT(13)
Jockey:  Sherman BROWN - Trainer: Des EGDES 

The five-year old KEEP YOUR LIGHT ON had a much improved and creditable last c & d effort despite being badly out at the weights in an allowance plate. That formline was boosted by the 3rd placed runner Bishop's Bounty who triumphed in his next start on 'July Day' and this gelding will be cherry ripe now. His yard has come really well in recent weeks and the top selection is way better treated on today's handicap terms. He can improve on his rather dismal c & d statistics.
