Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: SHEZAHOTTI(7)

Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: P Matchett 

SHEZAHOTTI had a disappointing last run over further but will prefer this drop in distance and can quickly bounce back to form with Strydom retaining the ride.

TOP BET

Race 4: GREEK FIRE(1)

Jockey: K Zechner - Trainer: M/A Azzie

GREEK FIRE was just in need of his comeback run following a lengthy 30 week absence and the talented four-year old will strip much fitter today. He is by some margin best weighted in this contest and though the runner-up of his last start Top Rank (victim of false pace) flopped subsequently this bay gelding could take some beating here

Race 7: GOTTALOTTALUV(8)

Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: S Pettigrew

GOTTALOTTALUV once again indicated that a mile and a half is perhaps beyond her reach when she fared poorly against male rivals recently but she will enjoy this drop in distance and can quickly bounce back to form. Of course she has consistently been taking on much stronger rivals & was given a healthy reprieve of five pounds

Race 8: DARKEST HOUR(5)

Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: D Botes 

DARKEST HOUR has turned the corner in his last two runs under this quality rider and the chestnut son of Await The Dawn is a lively contender though his track record doesn't inspire much confidence. He will certainly enjoy the likely solid tempo

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 1: DANCING FLAME(1)

Jockey: M Yeni  - Trainer: G Maroun

The Maroun yard holds a strong hand in this opening event where the lightly raced DANCING FLAME gets the nod. He produced two decent efforts, the second of which was in a minor feature, before a below par last run though the runner-up Bye Bye Rocket held on to beat subsequent winner Against The Grain next time out
