Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: VELVET SEASON (8)

Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: W Nel

VELVET SEASON has finished second in his last two outings over this distance on the poly and seven times in his ten starts to date and is due for a change of luck. He suffered a speedy cut in his last outing and did well to finish where he did. With red-hot Warren Kennedy in the irons, he could finally get his maiden win this afternoon.

Race 4: COYOTE GIRL (8)

Jockey: S Randolph - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

COYOTE GIRL goes for her hat-trick here and has recorded her last two wins over this trip on both the grass and the poly. She seems to be improving and the trio is very much on the cards. 

Race 6: BORN TO PERFORM (8)

Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: D Bosch

BORN TO PERFORM returns from a 16-week rest, but has solid formlines to his credit. The grey gelding won his last start over a mile easier than the official margin and will be looking to complete the trio of wins this afternoon. He has given away start in his last two runs, but has come with powerful late runs to mow down the field. If jumping on terms here, he looks to be the one that they will all have to beat. 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 8: ORCHID EXPRESS (1)

Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

ORCHID EXPRESS has pulled gate one and has Anton Marcus in the saddle. She has her first run in KZN, but she brings solid Highveld form down with her. She stayed on well in her last outing over six furlongs and on that effort she could be looking for this greater test of stamina. She could break her maiden here.
