Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SUPERIOR LEADER (3)
Jockey: G van Niekerk - Trainer: W A Nel
SUPERIOR LEADER has shown good improvement in his last two starts under Grant van Niekerk. He has been gelded since his last start which may have been what he needed. The son of Vercingetorix drops back in distance, but gets the blinkers fitted which should sharpen him up.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: CAPTAIN WHO (1)
Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: A Marcus
CAPTAIN WHO has produced three decent efforts thus far. He raced from just off the pace last time, but found one too good in the form of His Choice. The son of Captain Al looks to be a progressive type and in this type of field, he can shed his maiden tag.
Race 3: NIGHT SONG (2)
Jockey: G Cheyne - Trainer: J Stewart
NIGHT SONG was ultra-impressive when winning his last two starts over 1950m on this course. He set the pace last time and drew clear to win easier than the official margin suggests. The son of Oratorio tries the 2500m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should notch up the hat-trick.
Race 4: CAPITANA (5)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: B Crawford
CAPITANA was not disgraced when finishing second behind Clouds Unfold last time. She moved up well that day, but was caught in the latter stages. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 8: SHANGAAN (6)
Jockey: R Fourie - Trainer: J Snaith
SHANGAAN won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over six furlongs on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests he will enjoy the extra distance on offer. The son of Gimmethegreenlight takes on stronger, but he is lightly raced and looks to have scope
