Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: SHOOTING STAR(8)

Jockey: C Zackey  - Trainer: G Kotzen

The Cape visitor SHOOTING STAR showed eye-catching improvement in a decent line-up back home nine days ago and should continue to progress

TOP BET

Race 2: BLACKBEARD(1)

Jockey: M Byleveld - Trainer: V Marshall 

The Cape raider BLACKBEARD had a courageous last performance in a strong field over this trip on Met Day and though the runner-up Saint West had a weak subsequent run, the 14th placed entrant Cat Daddy lifted that formline with an easy win next time out.

Race 3: SHEPHERD'S SKY(1)

Jockey: G Cheyne  - Trainer: G Paddock

SHEPHERD'S SKY has been a revelation since trying this surface and he continued his smart form when going down narrowly on his handicap debut last month. He has some work to do at the weights in this novice contest but could still be ahead of the handicapper and go one better from pole position.

Race 6: ROCK OF AFRICA(1)

Jockey: M Byleveld - Trainer: V Marshall

The Cape visitor ROCK OF AFRICA won his only start on this track and he will be fitter on his return to the 'windy city' today. He has faced much stronger rivals for quite some time and should be highly competitive despite top weight. The Smith yard could have a decent say with their charges FOUNDING FATHER and the veteran campaigner FANTASY ART.

VALUE BET

Race 4: SEATTLE SOUND(13)

Jockey: L Mxothwa   - Trainer: S Kotzen

SEATTLE SOUND could be the lurker in this big field as she faces MY MIRACLE(4kgs worse off) and the top weight THREE TIMES A LADY (2kgs worse off) on favourable terms on their clash over a similar trip in December. The three-year oldMY MIRACLE has obvious scope for improvement though and she acquitted herself well over a mile next time out.
