Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: WINTER SMOKE (1)
Jockey: C Habib - Trainer: A Fortune
WINTER SMOKE got back to winning ways in the Magnolia Handicap last time when allowed to use her action. She is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can notch up her fourth career victory.
Race 3: FUTURE LADY (16)
Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: C Dawson
FUTURE LADY is a filly taking on the males. She produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1160m at Turffontein. She was unlucky not to have won that day as her pilot dropped his rein in the latter stages. The daughter of Futura would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should go one better here.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 5: MULETA (2)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: R Sage
MULETA was ultra-impressive when winning her last start over this C&D. She showed good speed and won a lot easier than the official margin suggests. The daughter of Crusade looks to have ability and can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 7: AGAINST THE GRAIN (6)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry
AGAINST THE GRAIN finished 2.75 lengths behind WHORLY WHORLY last time. He is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. He won his only attempt over this C&D. He is having his peak run this afternoon and should be cherry-ripe.
VALUE BET
Race 8: WESTERN OASIS (12)
Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: D Sham
WESTERN OASIS showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He won his only attempt over this C&D. The son of Lateral has dropped to a competitive rating and can get back to winning ways
