Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: BATTLE FRONT(5)

Jockey: J Gwingwizha - Trainer: S Tarry 

BATTLE FRONT produced two high quality efforts in strong company prior to suffering a setback and the Tarry inmate returns from a lengthy 44 week absence today. He was gelded in the summer though and the Judpot chestnut should take a power of beating if fit and well.

Race 6: NEW ZEALAND(1)

Jockey: J Gwingwizha - Trainer: S Tarry 

NEW ZEALAND is still improving and she expectedly relished the rise in ground when outrun late into 2nd over this trip at the Vaal two weeks ago. She was in turn just under five lengths clear of the next placed entrant EZIEZA and the Tarry inmate can go one better.

Race 7: ROCKSTAR CHILD(2)

Jockey: F Semela  - Trainer: S M Ferreira

ROCKSTAR CHILD expectedly bounced back to form with a decent last run but should have been placed much handier by his experienced workrider who has the opportunity to make amends here. The son of Mambo In Seattle has just over one length to find on NORLAND and he should be an entirely different proposition today.

TOP BET

Race 8: ALNASL(14)

Jockey: C Mabaya - Trainer: M De Kock

ALNASL showed a smart turn of foot when outrun late into 2nd over a similar distance second time out and the imported bay filly should have plenty more to offer. She finished nearly three lengths ahead of the next placed entrant and can go one better from her tidy draw. 

VALUE BET

Race 1: QUEEN RACHEL(3)

Jockey: T Matsoele - Trainer: G Maroun

QUEEN RACHEL is much better than her recent form indicates and her c & d performance behind her smart stablemate Generous Notion earlier this autumn brings her right into the reckoning. It is worth noting that her last formline in mixed company has worked out well.
