Race 8: GHOST TOWN(7)

Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: DAN'S EMPIRE(1) SCR
Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: C Dawson

DAN'S EMPIRE has shown promise since relocating to the Highveld and he should have finished closer but for easing at a crucial stage last time out. He will prefer this extra furlong and should make amends.

TOP BET

Race 3: MILESENDE(10)
Jockey: C Habib - Trainer: P Peter

MILESENDE showed smart improvement in a competitive line-up second time out and she should continue to progress here. NAWWASI was strongly fancied on her fair debut in a mediocre contest but she would have come on with that experience and should enjoy this extra furlong.

Race 4: TAMMANY HALL(2)
Jockey: D Lerena    - Trainer: P Peter

TAMMANY HALL brings some fair recent form into this contest and the 4kgs apprentice allowance will be a huge plus for the capable daughter of Await The Dawn. Her fellow three-year old STAR PROFILE has also shown above-average qualities but it must be noted that she was carded to race on 14/04. She has a solid c & d record.

Race 8: GHOST TOWN(7)
Jockey: C Zackey  - Trainer: E Verdonese

GHOST TOWN has improved with each outing and the lightly raced son of Judpot was carded to race on 14/04. The bay gelding finished well to beat subsequent winner Bold Viking on his handicap debut over this c & d last time out.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 9: TRIP TO TROY(3)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg  - Trainer - G Woodruff

The Woodruff yard holds a decent hand in this competitive final event and TRIP TO TROY can build on his improved last showing. The Trippi gelding had a satisfactory last performance behind his high class stablemate The Rising Legend despite his jockey's saddle slipping and the 3rd placed entrant Lake Kinneret boosted the formline with a last gasp subsequent triumph.
