Race 7: GREEN PLAINS (2)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: ACCOMPLISHED (1)
Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Fortune A
ACCOMPLISHED made the trip down to KZN last time and finished 3rd over 800m. He would have strengthened up during his time off the track and should enjoy the extra furlong on offer. His trainer is no stranger to getting his horses fit for their return and the son of Potala Palace should be the one they all have to beat.
TOP BET
Race 7: FLY AWAY (1)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: Peter P
FLY AWAY is much better than her last start in the Tommy Hotspur Handicap suggests. She is unbeaten from two starts over this c&d. The speedy daughter of What A Winter may be hard to peg back in the closing stages.
Race 8: BEFORE THE DAWN (1)
Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Fortune A
BEFORE THE DAWN was not disgraced when finishing 4th in a feature race last time. She loves racing on this course having won twice and finishing second once from four starts. S'manga Khumalo knows the daughter of Oratorio well and the combination should find themselves in the winner's enclosure
Race 9: BATTLEOFTRAFALGA (8)
Jockey: Murray C - Trainer: M De Kock
BATTLEOFTRAFALGAR is one of the better bets on today's card. He showed good signs of returning to best form in his last start over six furlongs at Turffontein on the inside course. He set the pace that day and stayed on well in the run down to the wire. The drop to the minimum trip should not pose a concern and the son of Captain Al may be too good for this field.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 6: SEGONTIUM (10)
Jockey: Simons R - Trainer: Habib F
SEGONTIUM is the value bet on this afternoon's card. He has been moderate since winning his maiden, but he has taken a big drop in the ratings. Randall Simons has done well on the son of Elusive Fort in the past and from pole position, he may be the one to cause the upset.
