Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: SINGLE RED ROSE(1)
Jockey: P Strydom   - Trainer: A Fortune

SINGLE RED ROSE has not been far off the action in all three of her runs. She has pulled pole position and it is encouraging that Piere Strydom has kept faith in her. 

 

TOP BET

Race 3: ROCKIN RUSSIAN(2)
Jockey: K Matsunyane  - Trainer: S Tarry 

The powerful Sean Tarry yard steps out three of the six runners in this contest and has the chance of completing the exacta. The top selection goes to ROCKIN RUSSIAN who won a good race last time out over 1450M. She is seldom far behind and seems to have struck up a good partnership with today's jockey. Her stable companion, KEEP SMILING is taken to chase her home.

 
Race 6: LAKE KINNERET(4)
Jockey:  M Yeni    - Trainer: St John John Gray

LAKE KINNERET is looking to complete his hat-trick here and the manner in which he dispatched the field in his last win over a mile would suggest that this is very much on the cards. He steps up an extra furlong for the first time, but should not have an issue with that. It is always encouraging when Muzi Yeni retains the ride. The 5yr old gelding is unbeaten on this track.

 
Race 8: ZEAL AND ZEST(2)
Jockey: D Schwarz -  Trainer: M Alexander 

ZEAL AND ZEST has solid staying form and has recorded a win and a third place finish over this trip. He overraced in his last outing and not suprisingly did not go on with his effort. He rallied well to win his penultimate run over the distance and a repeat of that effort would see him involved in the finish.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 5: RITCHI(2)
Jockey: W Kennedy-  Trainer:  M Alexander

The Gary Alexander stable sends out over half the field here, with the slight preference going to the Warren Kennedy ride, RITCHI. She finished a close up second in her last start over the c&d despite having a nasal discharge.
