Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: HOUSTON (6)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: C Dawson
HOUSTON produced a promising debut effort over 1160m at Turffontein. He jumped outwards leaving the starting stalls, but finished his race off nicely. He found plenty of betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work back at home. It must be noted that Twice The Storm has come out and won again since. The son of The United States would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Race 2: QUEEN OF SMOKE (11)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: S Pettigrew
QUEEN OF SMOKE made the expected natural improvement when finishing second over this C&D last time. She lost a length at the start, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is a progressive type and may be the one to side with.
Top Bet For Today
Race 3: NOW I GOT YOU (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Lansley
NOW I GOT YOU is the best bet on the programme. He has taken on winners in all four of his outings to date. He raced from a handy position in the Grade 1 Premiers Champion Stakes last time, but did not go on with the effort. The son of Admiral Kitten takes on Maiden Company and he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: A COLOURFUL PAST (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Lansley
A COLOURFUL PAST stayed on when finishing fourth over this distance on the Classic course last time. She has finished third twice from as many starts on this course. The daughter of William Longsword meets the right field today and she can shed her maiden tag.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: BURNING WINGS (4)
Jockey: K A Brewer – Trainer: R Magner
BURNING WINGS showed good signs of a form return over this C&D last time. He stayed on nicely at the finish, but found one too good in the form of Rollwiththepunches. He takes a slight drop in class and if confirming his recent improvement, he can go one better
