Race 4: ROCKY PATH(5)

Race 7: DESTINYS GAME(1)

Race 8: FINCHATTON(8)

Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: MADAME PATRICE(6)

Jockey: M Yeni   - Trainer: T Spies

MADAME PATRICE has only had the three runs, but she finished just a neck behind the winner in her last two starts, the latest in a workriders event over this distance. She showed plenty of speed that day and might be able to go one better here.

Race 3: ZODIAC PRINCESS(5)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: D Sham

ZODIAC PRINCESS has solid formlines to her name. She set the pace in her last start and was staying on in the closing stages. She was bumped in her penultimate outing and did well to finish as close as she did.

TOP BET

Race 7: DESTINYS GAME(1)

Jockey:  K Zechner   - Trainer: B Webber

DESTINYS GAME messed up the start in her last outing, but her overall form is solid and she has won over this distance before. She will almost certainly give another good account of herself here.

Race 8: ROCK OF AFRICA(3)

Jockey: D Schwarz-  Trainer: E Verdonese

ROCK OF AFRICA has shown consistent form for his new trainer since moving up from CT. He challenged strongly in his last outing over seven furlongs and is sure to appreciate the extra ground.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 5: POOL PARTY(8)

Jockey: C Storey-  Trainer: R Magner 

POOL PARTY is a 6yr old mare taking on the boys, but she goes for her hat-trick here. She returns from a 16 week break, but if not in need of the run, she should give the males a good run for their money.
