Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: CANADIAN SUMMER (1)
Jockey: J Gates – Trainer: D Moore
CANADIAN SUMMER produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1000m on this course, two weeks ago. She lost a length at the start but once finding her feet, she finished her race off strongly. The daughter of Oratorio would have gained from the experience and will love the extra furlong on offer. From pole position, she may be the one to beat.
Race 4: HOEDSPRUIT (7)
Jockey: G Niekerk – Trainer: J Snaith
HOEDSPRUIT ran a fair race when finishing sixth in the Grade 1 Cape Town Met last time. He returns from a 17-week break which may have done him the world of good. This run will bring him on for bigger races during the season, but he has plenty of class which should pull him through.
Race 6: SILVER DARLING (8)
Jockey: G Niekerk – Trainer: J Snaith
SILVER DARLING didn’t settle in the Grade 2 WSB Fillies Guineas last time, turned into the straight in a wide position but finished her race off nicely. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she should have no issues with the rise to 2000m. She will strip a much fitter horse this afternoon and with a bit of luck from her awkward draw of eight, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: POMP AND POWER (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: J Snaith
POMP AND POWER ran a very good race when finishing third in the Grade 2 WSB Guineas last time. He is a versatile sort who raced from a handy position that day and stayed on strongly in the run down to the line. He was super-impressive when winning the Grade 1 Cape Derby in his penultimate start. The son of Vercingetorix jumps from pole position and with no clear frontrunner in the race, he can dictate his own terms and may be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 3: SOUTHERN CAPE (5)
Jockey: K De Melo – Trainer: P Lafferty
SOUTHERN CAPE is much better than her last two starts suggest. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth in her last outing has come out and won since. She won her only attempt over this C&D, four runs ago. The daughter of Flower Alley is back against her own sex this afternoon and Keagan de Melo may be able to get the best out of her.
