Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: BUSHIRI(15)

Jockey: G CHEYNE - Trainer: A GREEFF

BUSHIRI had a below-par second run when she raced up the straight for the first time in her short career but the well-related bay filly should bounce right back. Of course she had an eye-catching debut run on the polytrack and the daughter of Master Of My Fate jumps from gate 2 today

Race 4: ASHDOWN(8)

Jockey: M YENI - Trainer: G SMITH

Tactics could play a crucial part in this low-key fillies and mares handicap where the Gavin Smith yard could dictate the tempo to suit their main challenger ASHDOWN who will thrive over this extra furlong. The four-year old former Highveld resident had two improved recent mile efforts but was not striding out three weeks ago

TOP BET

Race 5: MARCH MUSIC(4)

Jockey: L HEWITSON - Trainer: Y BREMNER

The day's topliner also sees just a handful of entrants head to post and all eyes will be on trainer Bremner's charge, MARCH MUSIC who has excellent form as she continues to progress. Of course she had the high quality Madame Speaker narrowly behind her in a thrilling three-way finish over a mile on this course last month and is drawn best of all here. She ended last campaign with a 3rd position behind the latter and her demoted stablemate National Park (subsequent runaway Grade 3 Graham Beck Stakes winner at Turffontein recently) in a feature over this c & d and is only slightly out at the weights

Race 6: SACRED ORATION(5)

Jockey: L MXOTHWA - Trainer: G PADDOCK

SACRED ORATION showed signs of a form return with an eye-catching c & d feature start late last month and the once promising Oratorio colt is really well-handicapped today after a three pound dock in his merit rating. He had more than half of today's field behind him on that occasion

VALUE BET

Race 7: TWICE A POET(5)

Jockey: C MAUJEAN  - Trainer: T LAING

TWICE A POET hasn't disgraced himself in his two post maiden runs though sprinting seems to be his forte'. Of course he almost caused a huge upset over this c & d on debut before easily beating subsequent winners Bakkies and Guadalupo next time out. The lightly raced bay colt by Twice Over was kindly docked three pounds in his merit rating and should bounce right back to form over this sprint trip
