Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT (1)

Jockey: C Bantam - Trainer: A Fortune

CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT will be hoping to go one better this afternoon after posting three seconds in a row, the latest of which was over this distance. He is the only ride on the day for Craig Bantam.

TOP BET

Race 4: CAPTIAINA (1)

Jockey: M van Rensburg - Trainer: G Woodruff 

CAPITIANA has her peak run here and will attempt to complete her hat-trick. She has only had the three starts to date and the manner in which she drew away from the opposition to record her last victory would suggest that this is very much on the cards.

Race 6: YOUCANTHURRYLOVE (8)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: F Habib

YOUCANTHURRYLOVE ran on well to win his last start over this distance by 3.5L. That win was made even better by the fact that he suffered a speedy cut in the race. With S'manga Khumalo retaining the ride, he should put in another solid performance here. 

Race 8: IMPERIAL RUBY (4)

Jockey: M Thackery - Trainers: C Spies

IMPERIAL RUBY is on a hat-trick after winning his post maiden outing over this c&d last time out. He won in the shadow of the post that day and should be doing his best work late here.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 7: ROCKY PATH (11)

Jockey: C Murray - Trainer: M de Kock 

ROCKY PATH just failed to complete his hat-trick last time out and will be looking to get back to winning ways this afternoon. He is well drawn and gets the services of Warren Kennedy.
