Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: FLAPJACK(2)

Jockey: Kabelo MATSUNYANE - Trainer: Paul MATCHETT

FLAPJACK has come really well since partnering with this 4kgs claiming apprentice and he was collared late by a smart sort over an extra furlong two weeks ago. This slightly shorter trip will be right up his alley and he can certainly go one better

Race 4: EVER FAIR(7)

Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON - Trainer: Joe SOMA

EVER FAIR proved exactly why her conditioner rates her as the daughter of Captain Al produced a huge performance when trying this distance last month. She almost toppled the strongly fancied favourite that day and clearly has much room for improvement

Race 5: WONDEROUS CLIMBER(6)

Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON - Trainer: Sean TARRY

This is an extremely tricky mile and a half Pinnacle Stakes affair where half a dozen entrants head to post. WONDEROUS CLIMBER completed an impressive hat-trick recently but is still unfavourably weighted due to his rather generous current mark. That said, the Tarry inmate shoulders a light mass of just 51.5kgs and he should again be competitive

Race 7: DANCING QUEEN(1)

Jockey: Gavin LERENA - Trainer: Roy MAGNER

DANCING QUEEN is a progressive daughter of Mambo In Seattle with really smart form though she is clearly plagued with niggles. She crushed some useful opposition on her seasonal debut in her post maiden start over this c & d earlier this campaign and is now seeking a hat-trick of wins. She is by some margin best weighted at this assessment level and has plenty more to offer

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: COYOTE GIRL(8) 

Jockey: Calvin HABIB - Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN

COYOTE GIRL was a little disappointing in mixed company last time out but there was still much merit in her penultimate performance where she had issues at the start. Of course, she is importantly back facing her own sex on handicap terms today and this chestnut daughter of Var has reached an extremely competitive mark since her maiden triumph. She represents excellent each/way value in this contest
