Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: HIGHLAND HERO(8)
Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: Y Bremner
The promising but injury plagued HIGHLAND HERO was demoted into 2nd after dead-heating on his local debut over this c & d ten days ago but the former Highveld resident will be fitter. Of course he was returning from just over a year's absence that day and clearly has much scope for improvement. MR T has performed well in both his local starts and he should cope with this drop in distance on his peak outing
Race 5: UNION JACK(3)
Jockey: G CHEYNE - Trainer: A GREEFF
UNION JACK seemed to find the minimum trip too sharp for him recently but he boasts smart form over this extra furlong. In fact, he displayed an eye-catching turn of foot to beat seasoned sprinter EXELERO (0.5kg better off) going away in a minor feature over this c& d in his penultimate outing
Race 6: MARY O' REILLY(5)
Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: Y Bremner
The smart and improving filly MARY O' REILLY may have just needed her last run on her return home after her Gauteng escapade and she is now 3.5kgs better off with her conqueror MAKE IT RAINE for that 1.25 lengths defeat. The lightly raced bay has no issues with this extra furlong and she still has good scope for improvement

TOP BET
Race 7: STAR CHESTNUT(1)
Jockey: R Fourie - Trainer: J Snaith
The day's topliner is a competitive listed contest to be run over the mile where the Cape visitor STAR CHESTNUT is well in at the weights and is definitely the horse to beat. The Snaith inmate had two decent feature runs this campaign and his last start in this province ended with victory. He won't mind a likely sedate tempo on his peak showing
VALUE BET
Race 8: HORSE HAIZI(3)
Jockey: J Penny - Trainer: D McKenzie
HORSE HAIZI had a creditable last seven furlong start despite an awkward draw but she reverts to sprinting where she showed promising prior form. It is worth noting that the 3rd placed entrant of her last run Vertical shaped well in the 'Mother City' in a decent field next time out
