Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: ARLINGTON ACTION (7)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: T Zackey
ARLINGTON ACTION was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He received a six-pound penalty for that victory and with just 52kgs on his back, he can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 3: IPHIKO (5)
IPHIKO was super-impressive when winning her last start over this C&D. She showed very good speed, found another kick and won with a ton in hand. She carries another handy galloping mass of 54.5kgs and with Muzi Yeni retaining the ride, she can notch up her fourth victory in a row.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: ROCK THE FOX (4)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
ROCK THE FOX ran on powerfully when touched off in the Grade 1 Thekwini Stakes last time. She returns from a well-deserved 10-week break. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is the best weighted runner in this contest with 55kgs on her back. She has bigger plans for the season ahead, but has the class to win.
Race 5: QUANTUM THEORY (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Sage
QUANTUM THEORY was not disgraced when finishing third in the Grade 1 Premiers Champion Stakes last time. He raced from a handy position and stayed on nicely to finish third. The son of Querari is loaded with ability and if not in need of this outing, he should be the horse to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 1: SKYJET (4)
Jockey: K A Brewer – Trainer: A Laird
SKYJET has shown improvement in each of his outings to date. He jumped awkwardly leaving the starting stalls last time and finished his race off strongly. The son of Ideal World will love the rise to 2000m and if getting away to a clean start, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure
