Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: LEMON DROP SHOT(13)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: G Woodruff
LEMON DROP SHOT showed good improvement last time out, when returning from a long lay-off. The son of Master of My Fate showed a good turn of foot on that occasion & he should strip a lot fitter for this step up to the mile today. He is certainly bred for the trip and looks the one to beat with lots of improvement to come.
Race 5: MASTER MAGIC(1)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: Nieuwenhuizen
MASTER MAGIC has been thereabouts in recent times, if one ignores his penultimate effort in Gr 1 comp- any. He may have found the 2450m a touch too far on that occasion & on his recent form over this trip, he cannot be ignored. Gavin Lerena takes the ride and we make him the one to beat.
Race 6: HIGH SEAS BEAUTY(6)
Jockey: R Simons - Trainer: N Stenger
HIGH SEAS BEAUTY has been an honest performer in her career so far and she has a solid record at this course and over this trip to back up those claims. She drops back to this trip today, after competing over slighty further in her last few starts and she should relish the outing in this company. With Si- mons retaining the ride, the classy filly by High Chaparral should have enough quality to win this.
TOP BET
Race 7: BAAHIR(12)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: D Sham
BAAHIR is starting to look more & more competitive as he has dropped in the ratings. After two sprints , he looks well set up for this 1400m trip and with Khumalo retaining the ride, the well-bred son of Galileo looks the one to beat in this class.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 4: BELIEVE ME(3)
Jockey: R Simons - Trainer :Janse van Vuuren
BELIEVE ME has been in good form of late & she appears to be enjoying the step up in trip in her last few starts. On her C&D record, she clearly enjoys the mile and with all four of her career wins coming at this track she looks the one they all have to beat.
