Magic Tips Best Bets

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 2: WINGS OF FIRE (2)
Jockey: Kennedy W - Trainer: Kotzen G

WINGS OF FIRE has produced two decent efforts thus far. She was her own worst enemy last time as she overraced in the early stages. The daughter of Ideal World is bred to enjoy the mile and if suited to the polytrack, she may be the one they all have to beat.

 
Race 3: GAVEL STRIKE (3)
Jockey: Moodley S - Trainer: Forbes L

GAVEL STRIKE has produced three decent efforts thus far. He was running on well at the finish over seven furlongs last time and will enjoy the step up to the mile. The son of Coup De Grace has a much better draw today and should be the one to side with. 

 
Race 4: LEGITIMATE (9)
Jockey: De Melo K - Trainer: Kannemeyer D

LEGITIMATE lost two lengths at the start on debut, was about five lengths off the second to last horse turning for home and produced a powerful finish to end up 1.5 lengths behind the winner. The son of Dynasty would have come on with the run under his belt and will be at home over the mile. If jumping on terms, he should take a power of beating. 

 
Race 7: IN CAHOOTS (6)
Jockey: Hewitson L - Trainer: Tarry S

IN CAHOOTS found one too good in the form of Ad Altisima last time. He lost a length at the start that day, but the manner in which he finished off his race caught the eye. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. The son of Visionaire should be cherry-ripe and he can get back to winning ways.

 

VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)

Race 1: ZIVA LA WINTER (8)
Jockey: Gumede T - Trainer: Naidoo K

ZIVA LA WINTER was considered good enough to contest in the Grade 2 Golden Horseshoe last time, but did not shape. The son of What A Winter will enjoy the drop back to six furlongs today as he finished third on debut over this trip. He gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Thabiso Gumede today and back against maidens, looks the one to beat.
