Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: DICKENS(1)

Jockey: C Maujean - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

DICKENS was running on nicely in his last start over this trip and starting from a handy draw should be right up there when they hit the line. SEGONTIUM set the pace in his last outing over seven furlongs and was only reeled in late. He may prove difficult to overhaul if he has improved on that last effort.

Race 4: SEE ME RUN(5)

Jockey: D Schwarz    - Trainer: G Alexander

SEE ME RUN has pulled pole position and should put that to good use as she likes to race handy. She gets a set of blinkers fitted for the first time and if they do improve her performance, she looks to be the one to side with here.

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 7: PROMISE(7)

Jockey: W Kennedy  - Trainer: P Peter

PROMISE is attempting a quartet of wins this afternoon and she is not without a chance of achieving a very difficult task. She is unbeaten in two starts over the c&d and understandably Warren Kennedy has retained the ride.

Race 8: KINGS ARCHER(5)

Jockey: D De Gouveia   - Trainer: T Pettigrew

KINGS ARCHER was slow into stride in his last outing over the mile, but nevertheless did not finish far off the action. He has consistent form to his credit and he is likely to produce another honest effort here. 

VALUE BET

Race 6: JOHNNY HERO(1)

Jockey: D Schwarz   - Trainer: T Zackey

JOHNNY HERO has a good draw and is the only two time winner in the race. He won his last start over the mile and drops back in trip, but this should not present a problem.
