Race 4: SONJADOR (9)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ALACRITAS (4)
Jockey: Marcus A - Trainer: Fortune A
ALACRITAS produced a decent debut effort over the minimum trip on the turf. He understandably raced green that day, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. The son of Trippi found betting support which would suggest that he had been showing good work back at home. He will enjoy the extra furlong on offer and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
Race 2: LAVU LAVU (10)
Jockey: Strydom K - Trainer: Goosen L
LAVU LAVU has produced two good runs to date. She showed good speed in her last start over this trip at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and stayed on well at the finish. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Kyle Strydom which should help her cause. She has a wide draw to overcome, but should use her early gate speed to get across without using up too much energy.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 3: GOLLY MISS MOLLY (7)
Jockey: Fourie R - Trainer: Snaith J
GOLLY MISS MOLLY is the best bet on today's card. She showed good improvement when finishing just a short head behind the winner over six furlongs on this course last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will enjoy the extra furlong on offer. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight doesn't meet the strongest field and she should take a power of beating.
Race 4: REX UNION (6)
Jockey: De Melo K- Trainer: Kannemeyer D
REX UNION has run two decent races to date over seven furlongs on this course. The manner in which he finished off those races suggests he is looking for the ten furlongs. The son of Duke Of Marmalade looks to be progressive and may be the one to side with here.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)
Race 9: ROCKET FIRE (5)
Jockey: Khan M - Trainer: Howells D
ROCKET FIRE is the value bet on today's card. His last outing can be ignored as he was reported to be coughing. His form prior to that outing was good and it is encouraging that Mark Khan steps back into the saddle as he was aboard the son of Rock Of Gibraltar when he won his maiden. If not in need of this outing, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure.
