Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: COURANTE (1)
Race 3: FIRE LORD (1)
Race 4: ELUSIVE CURRENT (8)
Race 5: ROHA (6)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: COURANTE (1)
Jockey: Fourie R – Trainer: De Kock M
COURANTE was her own worst enemy when stepping up to the mile last time as she over raced in the early stages. She returns from an 11-week break which may have done her the world of good. She will enjoy the drop back to 1450m and with top jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle, she should be the one to beat.
Race 3: FIRE LORD (1)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: De Kock M
FIRE LORD has shown good improvement when finishing second in his last two starts over 1400m. The manner in which he finished off his last outing suggests that he will love the step up to 1600m. He jumps from a good draw of four and may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 4: CAPTAIN LANNISTE (1)
Jockey: Munger R – Trainer: Fortune A
CAPTAIN LANNISTER should have finished closer last time as he hung from the 400m mark. He is the best weighted runner in this contest and if keeping on a straight line, he should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: SHINING ARMOUR (1)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
SHINING ARMOUR’S last start in the Grade 3 Sea Cottage Stakes can be ignored as she over raced and went way too fast up front. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Capetown Noir takes a drop in class this afternoon and in her Handicap debut, she should take a power of beating.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: SECOND BASE (2)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Janse van Vuur
SECOND BASE made the trip to race in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Town Met last time. He won a good race in the Grade 3 London News Stakes in his penultimate start. He has won three times and finished third once from six starts on this course. If all went well with his travels, he can return to winning ways
