Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: GWENDOLYN (9)
Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: B Crawford
GWENDOLYN was very impressive when shedding her maiden tag at the second time of asking. She lost a length at the gates, but was well ridden to get up when it matters most. She does take a step up in class, but the manner in which she won her last start suggests that there is definitely more to come from this daughter of Elusive Fort. She tries the c&d for the first time and if taking to the surface, she could be the one to beat.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 4: SMART SOX (8)
Jockey: K De Melo Trainer: D Kannemeyer
SMART SOX has produced two decent efforts to date. He has been making steady progress late on in both his starts. The son of Mambo In Seattle is bred to enjoy the ten furlong trip and stable jockey Keagan De Melo takes the ride for the first time. From a midfield draw of four, he should take a power of beating.
Race 6: PURPLE PERSUASION (1)
Jockey: A Marcus Trainer: A Wright
PURPLE PERSUASION wasn't disgraced in her last two starts in stronger company. The form of the Grade 2 Debutante has worked out well with there being quite a few horses that have come out and won since. The daughter of Master Of My Fate makes her handicap and seasonal debut this afternoon with top jockey Anton Marcus in the saddle. Alyson Wright is no stranger to bringing horses back ready to win on their return.
Race 7: SOCRATES (1)
Jockey: K De Melo - Trainer: D Kannemeyer
SOCRATES has very good consistent form. He was his own worst enemy last time as he did not settle in the early stages. He did, however, manage to stay on well at the business end of the race. The son of Horse Chestnut has won two out of three starts on this course and finished second in the other. He comes off a 29-week rest but is a classy sort and may be better than the rest of the field.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: ON THE DOUBLE(2)
Jockey: S Veale - Trainer: D Drier
MISSION BEACH has produced some fair form to date. She ran a moderate race last time, but was reported to be not striding out. Twice To Sydney who finished just in front of her last time has come out and won twice since. Her penultimate run was encouraging when finishing fourth behind Rule Of Law. The daughter of Linngari gets the blinkers fitted for the first time this afternoon and if suited, she can cause an upset.
