Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: SWINDON'S PRIDE (13)

Jockey: Ferraris L - Trainer: Ferraris L

SWINDON'S PRIDE produced a promising debut effort when taking on winners over seven furlongs on this course. He should have finished closer that day as he had to be steadied at the 100m mark. The son of Oratorio would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one they all have to beat.

Race 2: THUMBS UP (12)

Jockey: Maujean C  - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

THUMBS UP was running on well in her stable debut over the minimum trip on the Vaal Classic against males last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will enjoy the extra distance on offer today. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight doesn't meet the strongest field today and should take a power of beating. 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 5: INTEGRITY (9)

Jockey: De Gouveia D - Trainer: De Kock M

INTEGRITY has finished runner-up in both her starts to date. She didn't get off to the best of starts last time, raced wide and only got into the race late. It must be noted that Caralluma has come out and won a feature race since. The daughter of Flower Alley will enjoy the step up to the mile and from her decent draw of five, she should find herself in the winner's enclosure.

Race 7: MARSHALL (6)

Jockey: Ferraris L - Trainer: De Kock M

MARSHALL showed good speed when winning his last start in fine style. He does take on stronger company this afternoon, but the blinkers seem to have done the trick. The son of Vercingetorix looks to have some class about him and can notch up his fifth career victory. 

VALUE BET

Race 4: DUKE OF GOLD (8)

Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Laird A

DUKE OF GOLD is the value bet on today's card. He produced a promising debut effort over this c&d. He had to overcome a wide draw that day and did his best work in the latter stages. The son of Duke Of Marmalade would have come on from the run and should make the natural progression.
