Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: FROSTED STEEL(8)
Jockey: R DANIELSON - Trainer: S TARRY
The Sean Tarry yard holds a strong hand in this contest, with the pick going to FROSTED STEEL who won a good race on debut over 1160M. She attracted plenty of betting support that day which would suggest that her win did not come as a surprise. Red-hot Raymond Danielson retains the ride which is encouraging.
TOP BET
Race 4: SUNSHINE SILK(5)
Jockey: C MURRAY - Trainer: G WOODRUFF
A small field of six runners tackle the marathon twelve furlongs here and the narrow first choice is SUNSHINE SILK. She is a 5yr old mare taking on the boys, but she won her one and only start over this c&d. She won over nine furlongs in her first start back from KZN and will be looking to follow up that win here with red-hot Callan Murray retaining the ride.
Race 5: SLAY THE DRAGON(4)
Jockey: R DANIELSON - Trainer: S TARRY
SLAY THE DRAGON'S last three runs have been solid and he was running on strongly in his latest outing over ten furlongs. He cast a shoe in his penultimate run over this c&d and looks to be the one to side with here.
Race 7: PORT KEY(6)
Jockey: C MURRAY- Trainer: M DE KOCK
PORT KEY is lightly raced, but clearly has some ability, having racked up two wins and a second from three starts, the last of which was over this distance. He does bump some hard knocking sorts here, but he could be a decent sort in the making. It won't harm his chances to have red-hot Callan Murray back in the irons.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 6: MAJOR RETURN(4)
Jockey: S KHUMALO- Trainer: M AZZIE
MAJOR RETURN has his second run after a rest and is reunited with S'manga Khumalo who was on board when the gelding won over this c&d on 4 June. He was hanging from the 400M mark in his last start and if keeping to a straight course today, he should be right up there in the mix.
