Magic Tips Best Bet
Race 1: MINSTREL GALLERY (4)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: G Smith
MINSTREL GALLERY produced a decent local debut effort over this C&D. She raced from a handy position, but found one too good in the form of Hazy Crazy Night. The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. In this line-up, she should shed her maiden tag.
Race 2: VUVUZELA UMLILO (6)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: J Nel
VUVUZELA UMLILO has shown good improvement since relocating to the Eastern Cape. He raced from a handy position over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Last Storm. Chase Maujean retains the ride and from his midfield draw, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: MODERN MAGICIAN (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: G Smith
MODERN MAGICIAN got going too late when third over 1200m on this course. The drop to 1000m should not pose a concern as he has won once and finished second once from four starts over this trip. The son of Willow Magic is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. If not too far out of his ground turning for home, he should take a power of beating.
Race 5: NAVAL SECRET (1)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: W Miller
NAVAL SECRET is one of the better bets on today’s card. He ran a good race when third over 1400m on this course. He won a good race in his penultimate start over this C&D. The son of Captain Al meets a similar type of field this afternoon and with a bit of luck in running, he can notch up his sixth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: MRS HOTLINE (9)
Jockey: D Dillon – Trainer: W Whitehead
MRS HOTLINE finished 1.1 lengths behind DEMIGOD last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She jumps from pole position and if getting away to a clean start, she may be the one to beat
