Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: PUTINS PROMISE (13)

Jockey: S Mosia - Trainer: J D Gray

PUTINS PROMISE has finished close up in both of his first two runs over this distance. He was still a bit green last time out, but hopefully, he would have learnt more about racing from the outing. He will be partnered by Samuel Mosia who has enjoyed much success in these workriders races. 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 3: GARDEN PARTY (1)

Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: P Peter 

GARDEN PARTY trotted up first time out over 800M. He returns from a 13-week break and tries the five furlongs today. His trainer certainly knows how to bring them back ready to win.

Race 4: MAKARA (1)

Jockey: L Ferraris - Trainer: S Tarry

MAKARA has her second run after a break. She messed up the start in her last outing over the c&d, but recovered well to finish a close-up second. She ought to be involved in the finish this afternoon.

Race 5: MALTEZA (7)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: A Laird

MALTEZA has consistent form to her credit and was only reeled in very late last time out over this distance. She was cut into that day which makes the effort that much more encouraging. 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 7: NORLAND (3)

Jockey: M van Rensburg - Trainer: C Erasmus

NORLAND is seldom too far off the action and looked a likely winner last time out over the mile before just failing to secure the victory.
