Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: STAY THE COURSE (2)

Jockey: Hewitson L – Trainer: Tarry S

STAY THE COURSE has shown good improvement in his last two starts. He stayed on strongly when finishing third over 1450m on the Classic course last time. The son of Pomodoro will love the rise to 1700m and from pole position, may be the one to side with.

Race 5: THIS GENERATION (8)

Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: Peter P

THIS GENERATION ran a decent race on debut over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He found betting support that day which suggests that he had been showing good work back at home. The son of Flower Alley would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should go close to winning. 

Race 6: BIG EYED GIRL (2)

Jockey: Danielson R – Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

BIG EYED GIRL was ultra-impressive when winning her maiden over this distance on the Classic course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Vercingetorix takes on stronger today, but she is lightly raced and looks to have ability. 

VALUE BET

Race 7: AFTER HOURS (5)

Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Gray St John

AFTER HOURS finished 0.25 lengths behind MONEY FIGHTER last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has finished third twice from three starts over this C&D. Muzi Yeni takes the ride and he can go one better here
