Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: MUNCHKIN (11)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M Houdalakis
MUNCHKIN produced an eye-catching debut effort over this C&D. He moved up like a winner, but was outrun late by Cian The Conqueror. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Rafeef would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.

Race 6: RENY (1)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: B Crawford
RENY followed up her maiden win with an equally impressive victory over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course. She quickened up well and won with a ton in hand. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight will love the rise to the mile. She received an eight-pound penalty, but may still be ahead of the handicapper and she can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 7: NONE OTHER (5)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M Houdalakis
NONE OTHER has produced two decent efforts this season. She has won once and finished third twice from four starts on this course. The daughter of Flower Alley will be cherry-ripe and from pole position, she should be the one to beat.
Race 8: CRIMSON PRINCESS (1)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: A Fortune
CRIMSON PRINCESS was not disgraced when finishing second in the Grade 3 4Racing Yellowwood Handicap. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she hung in the final 400m. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts on this course. She has cracked a good draw of two and if keeping on a straight line, she should go one better.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: POWER RANGER (13)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Magner
POWER RANGER is much better than his last start suggests as he was reported to be not striding out. His penultimate run when finishing second over 1200m on the Inside course was good. It is encouraging that Muzi Yeni steps back into the saddle and the pair may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure
