Race 1: ANFIELDS ROCKET (1)
Race 2: QUEEN OF GAUL (2)
Race 4: CHOPSTICKS (1)
Race 5: NEBRAAS (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ANFIELDS ROCKET (1)
Jockey: Mxoli P – Trainer: Maroun G
ANFIELDS ROCKET was super-impressive when winning at the second time of asking over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He was slow into stride, but quickened up well and finished his race off strongly. The son of Coup De Grace is a progressive type and if jumping on terms, should follow up.
Race 4: CHOPSTICKS (1)
Jockey: V.D.Merwe J – Trainer: Laird A
CHOPSTICKS is one of the better bets on today’s card. She should have won her last start as she hung in the final 300m. The daughter of Vercingetorix is a progressive type and in this type of field, she can shed her maiden tag.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: NEBRAAS (1)
Jockey: Fourie R – Trainer: Tarry S
NEBRAAS won a good race in the Grade 3 Gold Bowl last time. Despite hanging from the 250m mark, he fought hard to hold Black Thorn at bay. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from seven starts on this course. He is the class horse in the race and should notch up his seventh career victory.
Race 7: BLACK THORN (6)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Tarry S
BLACK THORN was outrun late by Nebraas in the Grade 3 Gold Bowl last time. He has won twice, finished second twice and third twice from seven starts on this course. The drop to 1800m should not pose a concern as he has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this trip. Keagan de Melo knows him well and he should return to winning ways.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: IRFAANS BOY (1)
Jockey: Sosibo S – Trainer: Fortune A
IRFAANS BOY finished 3.2 lengths behind TWICE AS SPLENDID last time. He is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He shows good speed in his races and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line
