Magic Tips Best Bet
Race 3: CLEAVER GREENE (6)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: De Kock M
CLEAVER GREENE was super-impressive when winning on debut over this C&D. He raced from just off the pace and the manner in which he quickened up was eye-catching. The son of Rafeef has been gelded since the victory, which may have been what he needed. He could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
Top Bet For Today
Race 4: RUN AS ONE (2)
Jockey: Kennedy W – Trainer: De Kock M
RUN AS ONE raced from a handy position over 1800m last time, but tired late. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this distance. He prefers racing at the Vaal Racecourse and from his good draw of two, he may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
Race 6: PRAIRIE FALCON (9)
Jockey: De Gouveia D – Trainer: Pettigrew S
PRAIRIE FALCON caught the eye when finishing third over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course, four weeks ago. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight makes her Handicap debut, but she carries a handy galloping mass of 53kgs which will help her cause. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. Diego De Gouveia steps back into the saddle and she may be the one to side with.
Race 7: SOUND OF HOUNDS (2)
Jockey: V.Rensburg M – Trainer: Gray St John
SOUND OF HOUNDS followed up his debut win with an impressive victory over this C&D. He quickened up well under a confident ride by Marco van Rensburg. The son of Bezrin received a six-pound penalty for that victory, but he looks to have ability and can remain unbeaten.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: HALLOWEEN (12)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Crawford B
HALLOWEEN’S last three starts have been good. She raced from a prominent position in her comeback run over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course, tried hard but found one too good in the form of Escape Artist. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Silvano will strip a much fitter horse today and can go one better
