Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: WINTER BLESSING (6)
Race 2: BLACK FROST (5)
Race 5: RED BOMBER (7)
Race 6: SONATA SAMARITAN (3)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: MAPHAKA (8)
Jockey: T Godden – Trainer: D Kannemeyer
MAPHAKA finished 1.4 lengths behind FORTRESS OF FIRE last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He finished second over this C&D, three runs ago. With luck from his awkward draw of eight, he may be rewarded for consistency
Race 5: ACTOR (1)
ACTOR’S last three starts have been good. He was running on when third over this C&D last time. He is a horse with ability and from pole position, he can notch up his second-career victory.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: SONATA SAMARITAN (3)
Jockey: S Hlengwa – Trainer: P Gadsby
SONATA SAMARITAN produced an eye-catching comeback run over this C&D last time. She was slow into stride, ran on powerfully before getting touched off by Ladyofdistinction. The daughter of Skitt Skizzle would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. She has cracked a good draw of three and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she can go one better
Race 7: DRICUS (6)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: W Nel
DRICUS fought hard for his last victory over this C&D. He received a two-pound penalty for that outing. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off his back which will assist his cause. He is in a good space and may be the one to beat
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: THUNDERBIRD (8)
Jockey: M van Rensburg – Trainer: M Odendaal
THUNDERBIRD showed some signs of needing his last start over 1600m. He raced from a handy position and did not go on with the effort. The son of Querari would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter
