Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: OBLIGE (11)
Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Laird A
OBLIGE produced a promising debut effort over the minimum trip on the Inside course. She was slow into stride, raced green and stayed on well at the finish. The daughter of Captain Of All would have gained from the experience and will enjoy the extra distance on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to side with.
Race 2: BATTLE FORCE (5)
Jockey: Lerena G - Trainer: Matchett P
BATTLE FORCE showed very good improvement in his last start over six furlongs on the Vaal Classic course. He didn't get the best of starts, but challenged strongly all the way to the line. The son of Act Of War looks progressive and can go one better this afternoon.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 6: ANYTHING GOES (9)
Jockey: De Gouveia D - Trainer: Pettigrew S
ANYTHING GOES is unbeaten from five starts to date. She took on older rivals in the Joburg Spring Challenge last time and won a lot easier than the official margin suggests. The daughter of Var is something special and despite her wide barrier position, she should take a power of beating.
Race 10: FACTOR FIFTY (2)
Jockey: Ferraris L - Trainer: Nieuwenhuizen
FACTOR FIFTY won a good race over 2600m on the Inside course last time. She has won twice, finished second twice and third twice from eight starts on this course. Luke Ferraris has a decent record aboard the 5yo mare and they should find themselves in the winner's enclosure.
VALUE BET
Race 8: HEART STWINGS (7)
Jockey: Kennedy W - Trainer: Peter P
HEART STWINGS is the value bet on today's card. She has placed in her last four starts. She finished 1.5 lengths behind DANCE CLASS in her penultimate effort and is 2.5kgs better off at the weights. That should be enough for the tables to be turned. She is likely to have her own way in front today and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line
