Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: ALFEO(1)

Jockey: G Cheyne - Trainer: A Greeff

ALFEO was well-supported on his promising debut over four furlongs on this course last month and the speedy Crusade colt should make natural progression. He finished half a length ahead of the chestnut SPEED FLYER who stayed on for 3rd in his debut at long odds that day.

Race 6: WIDOW'S LAMP(4)

Jockey: L Hewitson- Trainer: Y Bremner

WIDOW'S LAMP is still improving and she produced a smart burst to beat her subsequent winning stable companion Veeipee Club going away over a mile on the polytrack three weeks ago. She takes on stronger opposition now but should enjoy the extra furlong and may still be ahead of the handicapper despite the resultant three pound hike.

Race 7: WARRIOR POET(4)

Jockey: C Murray - Trainer: Tara Laing

The joint best weighted entrant WARRIOR POET will prefer today's seven furlongs and the likely sedate gallop. The four-year old can definitely turn the tables with the veteran gelding HEIR TO RICHES who caught the eye when running on for 2nd despite being badly out at the weights at novice level seven days ago. The shorter trip and slow pace may be against him though. He was soundly beaten by the form- er over this c & d in his penultimate start.

TOP BET

Race 8: FLYING ROCK(1)

Jockey: C Murray - Trainer: Tara Laing 

FLYING ROCK finished smartly to record a fluent recent victory over stronger opposition on the poly four weeks ago and he can follow-up after perhaps escaping with just a three pound hike. He meets the five-year old BUCKINGHAMPSHIRE on 1.5kgs worse terms for a length and a half defeat on the c & d run behind subsequent winner Le Grand Rouge.

VALUE BET

Race 3: SEEKING WISDOM(11)

Jockey: K Steyn   - Trainer: S Kotzen 

The Snow Crystal formline on 03/01 could be worth following in this competitive maiden contest where SEEKING WISDOM gets the nod. The lightly raced chestnut daughter of Elusive Fort made eye-catching late progress for 4th in that recent seven furlong event on this track and she should relish the step- up to the mile.
