Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: RIVONIA BOULEVARD(8)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry
RIVONIA BOULEVARD is clearly highly rated as he began his career with two useful efforts during the Cape summer. He drops in class after a fair last feature performance and should be highly competitive on his hometown debut.
Race 4: LONG TIME GONE(13)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg - Trainer: St John Gray
LONG TIME GONE only got going late in his moderate sprint debut effort on this course a fortnight ago but would have come on from that experience and is expected to relish the extra furlong.
TOP BET
Race 7: DRESSED TO IMPRESS(3)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: G Woodruff
DRESSED TO IMPRESS is highly rated by her conditioner and her smart handicap debut performance when trying this trip three weeks ago proved exactly why. The lightly raced daughter of Pathfork quite surprisingly escaped without punishment after that eye-catching effort and she looks a progressive type.
Race 9: HARD BALL(2)
Jockey: J Greyling - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
The Johan Janse van Vuuren yard holds a really strong hand in this final event and the promising but injury plagued import, HARD BALL could be the right one if allowed to dictate his own terms. The son of Choisir was beaten into 2nd by two smart types from the Robbie Sage yard earlier in spring and the blinkers clearly suited the gelding. He returns from a 24 week absence.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 5: GOODNESS ME(5)
Jockey: G Wrogemann - Trainer - D Botes
The four-year old GOODNESS ME has found her form again over her favourite track & trip and she can contest the finish here. She has half a length to find with the speedy MOSS GAS who was worryingly reported to be not striding out recently and this run may come too soon for her.
