Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: MORNING CATCH(7)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: J Ramsden 

MORNING CATCH renews his rivalry with narrow recent conqueror PILOU but the game frontrunner is 0.5kg to the good and gets the nod to reverse the half a length deficit. The latter completed a smart hat trick that day and should still stake a serious claim despite the resultant five pound penalty

 

TOP BET

Race 5: BLONDE VISION(8)
Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: M De Kock

This is an extremely tricky assessment contest but the powerful de Kock yard holds a very strong hand and the slight preference is for the young filly BLONDE VISION who was caught late in mixed company in a minor feature in her penultimate run. She was outclassed when 3rd by two high calibre sprinters in a subsequent feature but should be highly competitive today

 
Race 7: CARBON ATOM(4)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry 

The improving youngster CARBON ATOM has benefitted from blinkers and he should continue to progress. The Tarry inmate finished strongly for a close 2nd last time out and the 3rd placed entrant State Trooper has won since. That said, the capable older campaigner MOUNT KEITH meets the former on 3.5kgs better terms for a neck defeat suffered in early November and he should have many followers

 

Stand a chance to win R10 000 cash every day for the next 100 days!

 
Race 8: FLIRTY GIRTY(6)
Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON - Trainer: Sean TARRY

FLIRTY GIRTY is the form choice after her two close seconds recently and she can add to her sire's maiden success recently.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 2: PLUM FIELD(16)
Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: N Houdalakis

PLUM FIELD is progressing steadily and her last formline could be worth following. The chestnut daughter of Marchfield should enjoy the mile and she has more room for improvement
