Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: SIR POM (7)

Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: M Roberts

SIR POM produced a promising debut over the minimum trip on this course. He stayed on well at the finish that day behind what looks to be a decent sort in the making. The son of Pomodoro would have gained from the experience and with natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.

Race 2: NIKHILS INN (2)

Jockey: B Jacobson - Trainer: Y Govender

NIKHILS INN has produced good form over this distance in his last four starts. He showed plenty of speed last time and stayed on well at the finish. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Billy Jacobson knows the son of Greys Inn well and the pair could find themselves in the winners enclosure. 

TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 3: AFRIEL (2)

Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: C Binda

AFRIEL hails from the Clinton Binda yard who raid from Gauteng. She found plenty of betting support in both of her runs to date which may suggest that she has been showing good work back at home. She comes off an 11-week break this afternoon, but her conditioner is no stranger to bringing his horses back to the races fit for their return. The engagement of Anton Marcus is encouraging and the pair may be hard to beat.

Race 8: BAYVIEW EXPRESS (11)

Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: Y Govender

BAYVIEW EXPRESS has produced three decent runs since dislodging his jockey on debut. He was running on in his last start despite shifting from the crop. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He should enjoy the extra furlong on offer and with Anton Marcus in the saddle, he should be the one to beat.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 5: SILVER CENT (7)

Jockey: E Ngwane - Trainer: L Crawford

SILVER CENT'S last two runs on the polytrack have been fair. He raced from a handy position last time but lacked extra in the closing stages. He is unbeaten on this course and from his mid-field draw, he may have his own way in front and may be hard to peg back in the closing stages.
