Race 6: GREEK FIRE (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: IDEAL WOLFF (2)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: H Adamson
IDEAL WOLFF finished a neck behind SO LONG SPRING last time. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe.
Race 3: MARYGOLD (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: A Laird
MARYGOLD was ultra-impressive when winning her comeback run over seven furlongs on this course last time. She was reported to be distressed post race, which makes the effort that much more encouraging. She is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can notch up her third career victory.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 7: CAPTAIN MORISCO (1)
Jockey: G Pieterse - Trainer: A Fortune
CAPTAIN MORISCO has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He was running on well to finish third in the Sophomore 1000 last time. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this distance. He gets the services of a 4kgs claiming apprentice which should help his cause.
Race 8: BROOKLYN BRIDGE (2)
Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: M Houdalakis
BROOKLYN BRIDGE is one of the better bets on today's card. She has finished third in her last two starts after winning her maiden. Craig Zackey knows her well and if continuing her good run of form, she should take a power of beating in this line-up.
VALUE BET
Race 5: SHIVERS (1)
Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: D Sham
SHIVERS is the value bet on the day. She was not disgraced when finishing fifth in the Ipi Tombe Challenge last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has worked out well. She returns to Handicap company this afternoon and can get back to winning ways
