Race 2: LADY OSIER (1)
Race 3: JP TWO THOUSAND (3)
Race 8: SULTANAH (7)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: LADY OSIER (1)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
LADY OSIER showed good speed in her last start over 1000m at the Vaal, but was outrun in the latter stages. The daughter of Willow Magic tries the 1160m for the first time and in this type of field, she should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: DESERT MIRACLE (1)
Jockey: Lerena G – Trainer: De Kock M
DESERT MIRACLE ran a cracker when finishing second in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Fillies Guineas last time. It must be noted that Chansonette has come out and finished second in two Grade 1’s since. She has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. She has a wide draw of ten to overcome, but Gavin Lerena knows her well and will give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Race 9: SHANGANI (6)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P
SHANGANI was given a strong ride when winning the Listed Java Stakes last time. He returns from a well-deserved 14-week break today which would have done him the world of good. The son of Soft Falling Rain carries a handy galloping of 54kgs and if at peak fitness, he should notch up his fifth career victory.
Race 10: MK’S PRIDE (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: Peter P
MK’S PRIDE was ultra-impressive when winning his last start over this C&D. He set the pace, found another kick and won with a ton in hand. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. S’manga Khumalo retains the ride and despite his big mass of 62kgs, he should take a power of beating.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: LA LUVIA (4)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Tarry S
LA LUVIA is better than her last start over 1800m on the Vaal Classic course. She has won twice and finished third once from five starts over this distance. The daughter of Soft Falling Rain tries the blinkers for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She is likely to have her own way in front and may be hard to peg back
