Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: SLINKY MAPIMPI (1)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: P Vermeulen
SLINKY MAPIMPI has finished second in all three of his starts to date and had to be switched at the 400m mark last time out over 1160m, finishing 1.25 lengths behind the winner, when returning from a four-month break. He will be hoping to go one better today.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: CELESTIAL CITY (6)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
CELESTIAL CITY won his debut over a mile and then finished second in his next three runs, the latest over nine furlongs, just a length behind the winner. From his useful gate two, he looks to be the right one here.
Race 7: SHELDON (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J Janse van Vuuren
SHELDON has consistent formlines to his credit and was only run out of it late when finishing third last time out to a good sort, 1.75 lengths back. All three of his wins have been recorded over this sprint trip and will be looking to add to that total.
Race 8: COLD FACT (1)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: T Peter
COLD FACT showed plenty of toe to win first time out for her new stable over six furlongs by putting 4.75 lengths between herself and the balance of the field. On that emphatic victory, she may well be good enough to secure a quick double.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: TIMEFORTHAT (6)
Jockey: SCRATCHED – Trainer: L Kruger
TIMEFORTHAT had her consistency rewarded with a 0.75 length victory last time out over a mile. She battled all the way down to the wire that day and if showing the same determination here, she could record her fifth career win
