Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: ROCKY NIGHT(10)

Jockey: K Zechner  - Trainer: D Sham

ROCKY NIGHT should progress after his fair debut showing at Turffontein in a strong field last month. The bay son of Seventh Rock attracted outside betting support that day indicating that he has shown his conditioner decent work back home and he should make that experience count.

Race 3: JOSIE(8)

Jockey: K Zechner - Trainer: M Houdalakis 

JOSIE had an eye-catching debut in a decent field over this c & d earlier this autumn and she is worth following. The bay filly had the promising Awayinthewoods behind her that day.

Race 7: ESPLORATORE(7)

Jockey: R Simons    - Trainer: A Laird

ESPLORATORE has got her career firmly back on track and she escaped with only a one pound penalty for her smart last c & d effort in stronger company.

TOP BET

Race 8: BOCKSCAR(1)

Jockey: L Hewiston  - Trainer: S Tarry

The sparingly raced four-year old BOCKSCAR quickened smartly to beat subsequent winner Certifiable in the maiden ranks over this c & d last month. Of course the injury plagued Tarry inmate was returning from a huge 72 week absence so will strip much fitter and he could certainly make up for lost time. He showed smart earlier potential behind some top class sorts and could easily be ahead of the handicapper's generous assessment.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 5: WOTTAHOTTIE(13)

Jockey: K De Melo  - Trainer - S Ferreira

The veteran gelding WOTTAHOTTIE had a decent last display in a stronger line-up and that formline should stand up well in this low-key affair. He is the yard's solitary entrant on the day.
