Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: FIORANO(6)

Jockey: A Marcus  - Trainer: A Rivalland

FIORANO looked a winner in the dying stages of his last start, when greenness spoilt his chances. He may have just needed that run, having returned from a 16 week rest after his debut and he would've be- nefitted immensely with that experience. Marcus takes the ride for this bang in-form stable and he should be able to go one better and win this.

Race 3: TRIPPLE Z(2)

Jockey: L Ferraris  - Trainer: OA Ferraris 

TRIPPLE Z has made very good improvement since returning from that rest last month, as a gelding. The procedure has clearly made the difference and that was evident in his last two course appearances whe- re he has been finishing off his runs strongly. Apart from the draw, everything looks to be in his favour and he looks the one to beat on his local debut.

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 4: RUN TO DENMARK(4)

Jockey:  G Wright  -  Trainer: W Nel 

RUN TO DENMARK showed no signs of a lack of fitness in that comeback run last time out, when staying on strongly in the latter stages. The gelding may have had something to do with that and on that run, he should be ready for the step back up to a mile where he won his maiden in convincing fashion. From a good draw, he looks the one to beat.

Race 6:WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL(11)

Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: D Moore

WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL has continued his good start in the maidens, into the handicaps and the rise in cl- ass last time out did nothing to stop his progression. He was just touched off last time out over the minimum trip and over the extra furlong today, looks the one to beat with Marcus up.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 8: CHECKPOINT CHARLIE(12)

Jockey: G Wright   - Trainer: B Crawford

CHECKPOINT CHARLIE has dropped further in the ratings but he looks like he is on the brink of big run worthy of the winners' box. Removing the blinkers last time seemed to make a big difference and with this being his peak run after a rest, he should strip a lot fitter. If overcoming the draw for this in-form yard, he looks like big upset potential and we make him the one to beat.
