Race 7: SOUND OF WARNING (7)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ASARULUDU (8)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: M Roberts
ASARULUDU has produced two good second-place finishes to date. He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he shifted away from the crop in the closing stages. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of William Longsword may enjoy the switch to the turf and if keeping on a straight line, he can shed his maiden tag.
Race 3: JOHNNY’S HOPE (5)
Jockey: K Matunyane – Trainer: K Naidoo
JOHNNY’S HOPE was doing his best work late when third over 1900m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Canford Cliffs should love the step up to 2200m. He meets the right field today and if putting his mind on the task at hand, he can shed his maiden tag.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: CAPTAIN CASEY (6)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: A Rivalland
CAPTAIN CASEY won a good race in his last start over this C&D. He should have won easier as he was green in running and shifted away from the crop in the closing stages. The son of Captain Of All takes on older rivals, but he looks to be above average. He is the best weighted runner in this contest and is the horse to
beat.
Race 7: CANADIAN SUMMER (6)
CANADIAN SUMMER produced a good comeback run in the Listed Model Man Mile. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Oratorio would have come on from the run and she should strip much fitter. She is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can notch up her fourth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: EAU DE VIE (8)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: C Hewitson
EAU DE VIE has faced strong opposition in her two efforts this season. She lost a length at the start in the Non-Black Type River Indigo Handicap last time and was reported to be not striding out. She takes a drop in class and should be cherry-ripe. With a bit of luck from her awkward draw of eight, she is capable of returning to winning ways
