Race 2: PAREE(7)
Race 5: PRIVATE RULER(11)
Race 7: DALLEY(2)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: AFRICAN DYNASTY(3)
Jockey: K De Melo - Trainer: G Van Zyl
AFRICAN DYNASTY is way better than her excusable last two runs and the daughter of Dynasty should bounce back strongly on her comeback run. She is well drawn on her track debut.
Race 5: WELL CONNECTED(2)
Jockey: A Delpech - Trainer: M De Kock
The speedy WELL CONNECTED was caught very late in his comeback effort on soft ground over a similar trip last month and he clearly escaped without a penalty. The three-year old will be fitter now and he does appear well-handicapped on his course debut. He has the gate speed to overcome his awkward draw.
TOP BET
Race 6: BULL VALLEY(1)
Jockey: K Zechner - Trainer: Sean Tarry
The joint best weighted and dual Grade 1 winner BULL VALLEY missed the trip to Cape Town after his below-par last run. However, the top quality five-year old had excellent prior form and he drops heavily in class in his first outing for this year.
Race 8: QUERARI VIKING(1)
Jockey: S Brown - Trainer: O Ferraris
QUERARI VIKING showed plenty of courage as he produced a strong winning finish in a similar event two weeks ago despite racing wide. The Querari colt was handed a three pound penalty but he can follow up for his in-form conditioner who has just this solitary entrant on the card.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 2: PAREE(7)
Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: T Zackey
The bay mare PAREE had an encouraging recent seven furlong effort in stronger company where she hinted that she may prefer the mile nowadays. Her yard has had a lean spell for a while now but the six-year old drops in class and she can turn that around. She is the stable's only entrant on the day.
