Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 4: LAKE KINNERET(2)
Jockey: G Lerena   - Trainer: St John D Gray 

LAKE KINNERET gave a solid account of himself in that comeback run last time out, when finishing just behind a highly rated sort. He should strip a lot fitter today and on his most recent form, he looks very hard to oppose with Lerena reclaiming the ride.

 
Race 5: ELEGANCIA(6)
Jockey: C Maujean   - Trainer: D Sham

ELEGANCIA has made solid improvement since having the blinkers removed in her last three starts. She has had to overcome a few tricky draws in recent times and with this being back down the straight over her preferred trip, she looks to be the right one here with Maujean retaining the ride.

 

TOP BET

Race 7: MADEMOISELLE(9)
Jockey: L Hewitson  - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren 

MADEMOISELLE has been in solid form of late and she is clearly in a good space at this stage of the season. On her latest effort, she appears to have a few contenders held and with Hewitson retaining the ride, she looks the one they all have to beat.

 

 
Race 8: LIFE IS GOOD(8)
Jockey: R Simons - Trainer: B Botes

LIFE IS GOOD has certainly benefitted from the blinkers being fitted in recent times, as he has dropped to a more competitive rating. He has plenty of speed and should love the drop back to the 1000m, where he has won before. On that run three starts back, he looks a big runner here.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 6: VALBONNE(5)
Jockey: R Simons  - Trainer :R Magner 

VALBONNE has impressed in his last two starts in the province. The blinkers seem to have helped and he steps up to his preferred trip today. He has faced some stiff opposition in his time & if reproducing that penultimate start, he should just about win this.
