Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: PRINCESS ILARIA (3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: F Bronkhorst
PRINCESS ILARIA is better than her last start suggests as she was reported to be not striding out. Her first two career outings when finishing third were encouraging. The daughter of Pomodoro drops to the 1000m and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, she will be mowing down the frontrunners.

Race 2: PLATINUM SKY (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
PLATINUM SKY fought hard in his last start over 1950m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, but found one too good in the form of News Stream. He gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand. He runs well for Gavin Lerena and can return to winning ways.
Race 4: SPLENDID SEASON (11)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
SPLENDID SEASON showed good improvement when finishing fourth in her last start over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. The tongue-tie seems to have done the trick. The daughter of What A Winter is progressive and may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 5: NICE MOVE (1)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: S Pettigrew
NICE MOVE ran a good race when third in her last start over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside course. She raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Visionaire will strip much fitter and from her good draw of two, she may be the one to beat.

Race 3: SAMTHEWISEMAN (3)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: B Ruiters
SAMTHEWISEMAN showed some improvement in his last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The tongue-tie seems to have helped the son of Crusade and it is encouraging that Muzi Yeni keeps faith in the ride. From his good draw of two, he may be the one to side with
