Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SHANTYTOWN(2)
Jockey: G Wrogemann - Trainer: G Puller
SHANTYTOWN is plagued with issues but the lightly raced Kahal gelding has shown ability and he now tries blinkers for the first time. His two decent local performances came on this course and his last formline was boosted when his conqueror Cumulus finished runner-up in a Highveld feature.
Race 2: TECHNO CAPTAIN(6)
Jockey: A Arries - Trainer: P Gadsby
Just half a dozen entrants head to post for this competitive handicap to be run over a mile and a half on the inside course. The likely dictator TECHNO CAPTAIN holds a smart record at this venue and he meets today's likely favourite ONE MAN SHOW on 5kgs better terms for a three parts of a length c & d defeat suffered on 17/09.
TOP BET
Race 4: ROOT BEER(7)
Jockey: A Delpech - Trainer: A Wright
ROOT BEER was given an enterprising ride when he stayed on for 2nd over this c & d last month and top jockey Delpech retains the ride. The 3rd placed entrant Star Of Kazan boosted the formline with a win next time out and this lightly raced son of Jay Peg has room for further progress.
Race 6: DARK MOON RISING(2)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: P Lafferty
DARK MOON RISING renews his rivalry with REDEEMER on 2kgs better terms for that recent two length c & d defeat and today's likely stronger gallop should suit the former much better. Top jockey Marcus retains the ride from the best draw.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 7: RYKER(5)
Jockey: G Wrogemann - Trainer: G Puller
RYKER is a lightly raced and progressive sort who should have little issue reverting to sprinting today. He found a high class sort too good for him over the mile recently but showed his above-average potential with an eye-catching victory over the minimum distance in his penultimate effort.
