Race 4: CHYAVANA (9)
Race 6: RAIN IN HOLLAND (2)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: CHYAVANA (9)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Janse van Vuur
CHYAVANA got going too late when finishing second over this C&D last time. He was returning from a 12- week break that day and would have come on from the outing. The son of Flower Alley is a progressive type and if not too far out of his ground at the halfway mark, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 6: RAIN IN HOLLAND (2)
Jockey: Fourie R – Trainer: Tarry S
RAIN IN HOLLAND won a very good race in the first leg of the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will be even better suited to the 1800m. She jumps from a good draw of three and should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 10: BIG BURN (3)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
BIG BURN is the best bet on the programme. She was unlucky in the Listed Swallow Stakes last time as the saddle was reported to have slipped in running. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She has won once and finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. She is the best weighted runner in this contest and should return to winning ways.
Race 11: CARL VINSON (8)
Jockey: Marcus A – Trainer: Tarry S
CARL VINSON produced a decent debut effort over 1400m on this course, nine weeks ago. He was bumped at the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. The son of Dynasty will love the rise to the mile and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat in this type of field.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: OUTOFTHEDARKNESS (3)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Janse van Vuur
OUTOFTHEDARKNESS lost a length at the start in the Grade 2 Gauteng Guineas last time, but finished his race off strongly. The son of Gimmethegreenlight will love the rise to 1800m and he has cracked a good draw of two. If Keagan de Melo is able to get him to jump on terms, he will be able to race from a more prominent position and he can return to winning ways
