Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: TROIS TROIS QUATRE (2)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: M de Kock
TROIS TROIS QUATRE was settled near the rear of the field over 1600m on this course last time and stayed on to finish fourth. He found plenty of betting support that day. The son of Rafeef should enjoy the step up to 2400m. He is a progressive type and in this type of field, he can shed his maiden tag.

Race 3: AGA HEAT (4)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: G van Zyl
AGA HEAT was super-impressive when winning her last start over 1200m at the Vaal. The manner in which she quickened away from the field that day was eye-catching. The daughter of What A Winter has work to do at the weights, but she may be ahead of the handicapper and can follow up.
Race 5: PRAGMATIST (2)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: J A Janse van Vuuren
PRAGMATIST was ultra-impressive when winning his last start over this distance on the Inside course. The manner in which he quickened away from the opposition was eye-catching. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Jackson looks to have class about him and with a bit of luck from barrier eight, he can notch up his third career victory.
Race 6: STAR COIN (6)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: A Laird
STAR COIN was ultra-impressive when winning his last start over this C&D. The manner in which he quickened up and drew clear of the opposition was encouraging. He faces his toughest test to date, but has class about him and should be up to the task at hand.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: LIL MISS MONEYBAGS (5)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: A Fortune
LIL MISS MONEYBAGS was not disgraced when finishing fifth in her first run out of the maidens. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she hung outwards in the closing stages. The daughter of What A Winter has plenty of scope and if Ryan Munger is able to keep her on a straight line, she can return to winning ways
