Magic Tips Best Bets
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: MARCHINGONTOGETHER (2)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: St J Gray
MARCHINGONTOGETHER was super-impressive when winning his last start over 2000m on this course. He set the pace and won with a ton in hand. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from eight starts over this distance. Muzi Yeni takes the ride and the combination should take a power of beating.
Race 5: RAIN IN HOLLAND (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
RAIN IN HOLLAND was doing her best work late when finishing third over 1600m in the Grade 2 Ipi Tombe Challenge last time. She has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. If not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should be the one to beat.
Race 6: OUTOFTHEDARKNESS (6)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: J Janse v Vuuren
OUTOFTHEDARKNESS should have won last time as he had to check badly at the 250m mark. The son of Gimmethegreenlight was ultra-impressive when winning his first two career outings. He has class about him and with a bit of luck in running, he should return to winning ways.
Race 9: ESCAPE ARTIST (8)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: S Tarry
ESCAPE ARTIST moved up like a winner in her last start over 1700m at the Vaal, but was caught in the shadow of the post by Linganomore. The daughter of Pomodoro takes a drop in class and is back against her own sex. She has plenty of scope and from her mid-field draw, she should be the one to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: CLAFOUTIS (6)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: M de Kock
CLAFOUTIS was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Grade 2 Ipi Tombe Challenge last time. She raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. The daughter of Flower Alley returns to Handicap Company this afternoon and she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure
