Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: SMORGASBORD (6)
Jockey: W Kennedy – Trainer: P Peter
SMORGASBORD raced from a handy position in the Non-Black Type Winter Juvenile Stakes last time, but found one too good in the form of Grade 1 winner Rain In Holland. The son of Twice Over returns from an 18-week break, during which time he would have strengthened up. He is the best weighted runner in this contest and from his good draw of two, he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: INDUS KNIGHT (6)
Jockey: W Kennedy – Trainer: P Peter
INDUS KNIGHT produced a promising debut effort over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He was green in running, but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Flower Alley would have come on with the run under his belt and with the natural progression that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: DESERT MIRACLE (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: M de Kock
DESERT MIRACLE was super-impressive when winning the Grade 2 Golden Slipper last time. Despite racing wide around the turn, she took the lead at the 400m mark and quickened away from the opposition in fine fashion. The daughter of Dynasty returns from a 14-week break which may have done her the world of good. She has a lot of class about her and should notch up the hat-trick.
Race 9: BOLD ACT (4)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M de Kock
BOLD ACT was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Thekwini Stakes last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. The daughter of Act Of War returns from a 10-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. She looks to have plenty of ability and from pole position, can return to winning ways.

Race 6: FIRE FLOWER (5)
Jockey: K Matsuyane – Trainer: M de Kock
FIRE FLOWER was running on well over 1600m on this course last time. She has won once and finished third three times from six starts over this distance. The 5yo mare meets a similar type of field this afternoon and with regular rider Kabelo Matsunyane in the saddle, she can return to winning ways
