Magic Tips Best Bets

 
Race 1: GODSWOOD (9)
Jockey: Kennedy W - Trainer: Peter P

GODSWOOD should have won last time as he shifted away from the crop and hung in the closing stages. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Willow Magic tries the 1450m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should go one better here.

 
Race 2: LOTUS (7)
Jockey: Kennedy W - Trainer: Peter P

LOTUS ran a good race when finishing second over this distance last time. She set the pace that day, but was outrun in the latter stages. The daughter of Flower Alley looks to be a progressive type and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the wire.

 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

 
Race 7: ANNA CAPRI (5)
Jockey: Lerena G - Trainer: Nieuwenhuizen

ANNA CAPRI has been ultra-impressive in her last two victories over this distance. She showed good pace last time and won a lot easier than the official margin suggests. The daughter of Var looks to be something special and should notch up the hat-trick in this contest. 

 
Race 8: VARINA (12)
Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Fortune A

VARINA was a tad disappointing in the Ruffian Stakes last time. She returns from a 32-week break today, during which time she would have strengthened up. She was ultra-impressive when winning her maiden over this C&D in her penultimate start. The highly-rated daughter of Var carries a handy galloping mass and if not in need of the run, she should win this.

 

VALUE BET

 
Race 5: BACK TO BLACK (9) 
Jockey: Lerena G - Trainer: Sham D

BACK TO BLACK followed up his maiden win with a decent effort behind Tree Tumbo who has been entered for the Summer Cup. The son of Querari has finished second once and third once from three starts on this course. He takes a big drop in class today and may be too good for this field.
