Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: GO GREEN(9)

Jockey: Gavin LERENA- Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN

GO GREEN improved smartly when he ran on strongly for a close 2nd in a quality field over six furlongs second time out. The 3rd placed entrant Huyssteen boosted the formline with a game subsequent victory and this well-bred son of Gimmethegreenlight should continue to progress. He should relish this extra ground.

TOP BET

Race 3: ANGELIC(7)

Jockey:  Devin HABIB - Trainer: Paul PETER

ANGELIC is above-average which her promising second outing showed. The three-year old bay filly raced wide over a mile in a strong field that day but still ran on strongly for 2nd and she clearly has much more improvement to come. This longer run-in will suit her perfectly and the Paul Peter inmate can pull this off despite her wide draw. She is her jockey's solitary ride on the card.

Race 4: GRASSHOPPER(11)

Jockey: Muzi YENI- Trainer:  Brian WIID

GRASSHOPPER has found his form again since being equipped with blinkers and adopting frontrunning tactics. He tired late in each of his last two ten furlong starts in slightly stronger company and should stake a serious claim over this shorter distance.

Race 7: CATHEDRAL COUNTY(1)

Jockey:  Gavin LERENA - Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN

CATHEDRAL COUNTY is a smart son of Trippi who was expected to go closer behind MAGIC (1.5kgs worse off) recently but was probably moved on too soon by his top jockey. His form shows that he is clearly capable of better though and the lightly raced four-year old should get his career back on track today. He is unbeaten with top jockey Gavin Lerena in the saddle and has no issues racing around the turn.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 2: POLAR SECRET(8)

Jockey: Chase MAUJEAN - Trainer: Craig MAYHEW

The six-year old mare POLAR SECRET had a most creditable last effort over a mile despite racing wide under a big mass. She will have no issue with this step-up in class as she proved with a facile win in her penultimate outing over this trip
