Magic Tips Best Bet
Race 3: VEGAS GOLD (7)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: G Smith
VEGAS GOLD finished 3.3 lengths behind CLIFF TOP last time. He is 5.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He carries another handy galloping mass of 53.5kgs and if getting away to a clean start, he should be hard to catch in the straight.
Race 4: NOTORIX (1)
Jockey: M Mjoka – Trainer: J Nel
NOTORIX’S last three starts have been good. He raced from just off the pace last time and stayed on well to finish fourth. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Despite having to carry top weight, he is capable of notching up his third career victory in this line-up.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: NAVAL SECRET (1)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: W Miller
NAVAL SECRET was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over 1200m on this course. He has won once and finished second twice from nine starts over this distance. He received a four-pound penalty for that victory. He jumps from a handy draw of five and with Luyolo Mxothwa retaining the ride, he can follow up.
Race 8: WILDEST DREAMS (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: A Greeff
WILDEST DREAMS raced from a handy position over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Ideal Angel. She finished 0.35 lengths behind MAIDEN’S COVE in her penultimate run. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She drops back in class and is capable of notching up her fourth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: BIG SKY COUNTRY (7)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: G Smith
BIG SKY COUNTRY ran a fair race in her last start over this distance on the turf, against male company. She was reported to be not striding out that day and the form of the race has been franked. The 5yo mare has dropped to a competitive rating and she will be at peak fitness. S’manga Khumalo takes the ride and she is capable of returning to winning ways
