Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: DIAMONDS AND TOA (7)

Jockey: Arries A - Trainer: Miller M

DIAMONDS AND TOADS has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She stayed on at the business end to finish third over a mile on this course, three weeks ago. The daughter of Coup De Grace should be at home over the 1800m. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 4: BELL JAR (1)

Jockey: Strydom K - Trainer: Nel W 

BELL JAR ran a decent race when finishing fourth over this distance on the turf, two weeks ago. She had to overcome a wide draw that day, but stayed on at the business end. The 6yo mare has finished third four times from six starts on this course. She has cracked pole position this afternoon and can get back to winning ways.

Race 5: DREAM DESTINY (8)

Jockey: Gumede T - Trainer: Naidoo K

DREAM DESTINY finished 1.1 lengths behind ONTOPOFTHEWORLD last time. He is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Master Of My Fate will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.

Race 8: CHARLIE-FOX (9)

Jockey: Moodley S - Trainer: Roberts M

CHARLIE-FOX has taken on stronger in his last two starts in workriders races. He showed good speed last time and stayed on well in the run down to the line. He finished second in his only attempt over this C&D. He is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe. 

VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)

Race 6: WHAT A BLAST (7)

Jockey: Agrella W - Trainer: Bosch D

WHAT A BLAST is much better than his last start over 2000m on this course. His penultimate run when finishing second over 1700m, catches the eye. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from ten starts over this C&D. If putting his best foot forward, he should get back to winning ways.
