Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: DALLEY(5)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO  - Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL

DALLEY continues her good run of form but she was 2nd best in a similar event over this c & d five weeks ago. She finished just over one length ahead of CRANBERRY CRUSH that day and though the pair meet on similar weight terms, the top rating should still confirm the formline. The latter is held by a few on her subsequent performance.

Race 3: AEROBATIC(1)
Jockey: Callan MURRAY - Trainer: Mike DE KOCK

AEROBATIC has had many chances but she boasts some useful recent form, including two fair displays at handicap level on this track this campaign. She was running on steadily for 5th over this c & d from a wide draw against winners two weeks ago and will be a huge contender back in maiden company today. The Gary Alexander trained inmate jumps from a good draw.

Race 4: PLUCKY PLUNDERER(7)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO  - Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL

PLUCKY PLUNDERER enjoyed the extra ground when he made huge improvement in going close to victory over this c & d three weeks ago. The runner-up Reminiscence had an exciting subsequent win which boosts the formline and this chestnut gelding should continue to progress for his in-form yard.

TOP BET

Race 9: BEST KEPT SECRET(6)
Jockey:  Gavin LERENA - Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN

The SUN SENTINEL c & d form line on 28/09 should hold up well in this competitive handicap sprint where the lightly raced three-year-old BEST KEPT SECRET will strip much fitter after undoubtedly needing her comeback run after a 21-week absence. She tired late to finish three lengths adrift of the former that day but is now 2kgs to the good and she has much room for improvement. Her good draw is a major plus.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY:

Race 7: ONLY TO WIN(7)
Jockey: Lukas BESTER - Trainer: Stephen MOFFATT

This is another most intriguing progress affair where the merit ratings may not necessarily be the best guide, particularly in the absence of a natural pacesetter. The interesting entrant is the Mike de Kock trained daughter of Var, ONLY TO WIN, who has much to do at the weights on official ratings but her conditioner is obviously confident that she can still compete here. This bay filly has a short but effective burst of speed and she is capable with frontrunning tactics. She will prefer this short- er trip which explains her below-par last outing but she is weighted to turn the tables on her conque- ror DAME KELLY (6kgs worse off).
