Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 4: VALBONNE(1)
Jockey: G Lerena   - Trainer: R Magner

VALBONNE ran on strongly to win his last start over this six furlong trip. From a good draw and Gavin Lerena in the irons, he may be the one that they all have to beat.

 
Race 5: FOREVER INDIGO(7)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: P Peter

FOREVER INDIGO set the pace, but was staying on in the closing stages in her last start over the c&d. Gavin Lerena gets the ride for the red-hot Paul Peter stable and from a handy draw, she looks to be the right one here.

 

TOP BET

Race 6: ARABIAN AIR(1)
Jockey:  S Khumalo   - Trainer: J Ramsden

ARABIAN AIR is the only runner on the day from the Joey Ramsden yard and it is encouraging that former SA champion jockey S'manga Khumalo retains the ride. They set the pace in their last outing over the mile and may just be able to hold on to win this contest if adopting the same tactics today.

 

 
Race 7: TWELVE OAKS(1)
Jockey: G Lerena- Trainer: St John Gray 

The St John Gray stable holds a strong hand in this race, with the slight preference going to TWELVE OAKS, who is the mount of Gavin Lerena. Her stable companion SAMMI MOOSA seldom finishes far behind and another honest performance can be expected here. She is however carded to run on 25 July and her progress in that event will need to be checked

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 3: GALACTIC WARRIOR(3)
Jockey: J Syster  - Trainer: N Houdalakis

GALACTIC WARRIOR will have the advantage of getting 4kgs taken off his back thanks to his claiming apprentice. He didn't get the best of starts in his last outing, before showing pace and only getting run out of it late
