Magic Tips Best Bets

 
Race 3: OTTO LUYKEN (11)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: T Zackey

OTTO LUYKEN finished 0.15 lengths behind BIG GUY last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Flower Alley will love the rise to 1800m and he is progressive. With a bit of luck from his wide draw of ten, he should be the horse to beat.

 
Race 6: HOUSTON (12)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: C Dawson

HOUSTON took on stronger company in his last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over 1200m. The son of The United States is the best weighted runner in this contest and with Keagan de Melo in the saddle, he can return to winning ways. 

 
Race 7: BONNAROO (7)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: M De Kock

BONNAROO finished 0.25 lengths behind CHYAVANA last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She returns from a 31-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. Mike de Kock is no stranger to bringing his horses back to the races fit for their return and she can go close. 

 

Top Bet For Today

 
Race 8: KISS ME CAPTAIN (7)
Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: M G/A Azzie

KISS ME CAPTAIN is unbeaten from three starts to date. She showed good speed in her last start over 1200m on this course, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. She received a six-pound penalty for that victory. The daughter of Captain Of All should have no issues with the drop to 1000m and she can remain unbeaten.

 

Value Bet For Today

 
Race 4: KARIN’S LEGACY (3)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: C Spies

KARIN‘S LEGACY ran a fair race in her last start over 1450m on this course. She was reported to be not striding out that day. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1800m. The daughter of Crusade has plenty of scope and she may be the one to side with
