Magic Tips Best Bet

Race 2: MANSOORIYA (3)

Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: G Smith

MANSOORIYA ran a good race when finishing third over this C&D last time. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as her pilot dropped his crop in the closing stages. The daughter of Silvano is back against her own sex today and in this line-up, she should be the horse to beat.

Race 4: SURYAVARMAN (13)

Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: S B Kotzen

SURYAVARMAN produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. He returns from a 10-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Querari would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to side with.

Race 6: SANTA THERESE (1)

Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: A Greeff

SANTA THERESE was doing her best work late when third over this C&D last time. She had to overcome the widest draw that day and jumps from pole position this afternoon. S’manga Khumalo and Alan Greeff have got their season off to a strong start and the daughter of Flower Alley should take a power of beating.

Value Bet For Today

Race 8: SANCTITY (12)

Jockey: K Strydom – Trainer: Z Oosthuizen

SANCTITY ran a decent race when fourth over 1200m on this course last time. He won a good race in his penultimate start over this C&D. He shows good speed in his races and will be at peak fitness. Kyle Strydom takes the ride and the combination can close off the meeting
