Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: KINGS CUP(12)
Jockey: L Bester - Trainer: Candice B Warren
KINGS CUP is in good touch & he was expertly handled when he easily beat subsequent winner HIGHLANDER over ten furlongs on this course two weeks ago. The five-year old was handed a four pound penalty but gave a clear indication that he could relish this extra ground and has much more to offer in this company. The latter will be penalized for his impressive triumph over this c & d seven days ago but is still an obvious contender.
Race 4: MAMBO MODEL(6)
Jockey: Muzi YENI - Trainer: M De Kock
The pace should be decent despite just eight entrants heading to post for this competitive handicap where all eyes will be on MAMBO MODEL who was of course carded to race on this course seven days ago. She stayed on for 3rd behind BRAXTON that day and had today's top weight PARISIENNE CHIC adrift of her
TOP BET
Race 5: COME THE DAY(1)
Jockey: R Munger- Trainer: C Erasmus
COME THE DAY has already made up for lost time and his gutsy last triumph up the mile straight proved that this lightly raced four-year old is above-average. He certainly escaped with just the minimum two pound penalty and the improving son of Await The Dawn has strong claims of following up. The likely strong tempo and the turn will suit him perfectly
Race 8: BELL TOWER(5)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: S Kenny
BELL TOWER made her decreasing merit rating count when she stayed on for 2nd in her comeback run following a 19 week rest recently. Admittedly, that formline has been disappointing but this daughter of Ideal World will be fitter and she has obvious scope for improvement. Of course she shed her maiden tag over this track & trip.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 7: ZULU DAWN(9)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg - Trainer: S Pettigrew
This is another highly competitive handicap but for the fillies and mares this time around. ZULU DAWN is reaching a decent mark in the handicap and she had a creditable last performance behind some useful types, the formline of which must be monitored with the progress of the runner-up Invincible Lady in today's fourth race.
