Race 2: MAGIC TYCOON (8)
Race 3: BELLEVARDE (1)
Race 6: SO LONG SPRING (9)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: MAGIC TYCOON (8)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Matchett P
MAGIC TYCOON was not disgraced when finishing second in the Listed Ruffian Stakes last time. She raced from a prominent position, but found one too good in the form of River Queraress. The daughter of What A Winter looks to have ability and may be the horse to side with.
Race 4: BOWIE (5)
Jockey: Lerena G – Trainer: Tarry S
BOWIE was a tad disappointing in his last start over 1200m. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He has finished second five times and third twice from nine starts on this course. He will enjoy the rise to 1500m and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, he can notch up his fourth career victory.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: ADMIRAL DOOLEY (3)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Pettigrew S
ADMIRAL DOOLEY ran a good race when finishing second over 1450m on this course. He was reported to be cut into that day which makes the effort that much more encouraging. He is likely to race on the speed from barrier four and should be hard to peg back.
Race 8: LETSDOIT (1)
Jockey: Schwarz D – Trainer: Moffatt S
LETSDOIT was an easy winner of his last start over 1400m at the Vaal. Despite jumping outwards at the start, he raced from a handy position and quickened up well before putting the race to bed. The son of Act Of War steps up to the 1600m and if repeating his last outing, he should take a power of beating
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: AFRAAD (2)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Moffatt S
AFRAAD’S last two starts have been decent. He stayed on when finishing fourth in his last start over 2400m on the Vaal Classic course. He has won once and finished second twice from four starts over this C&D. He takes a drop in class and should return to winning ways
