Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: LE HARVE(7)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: J Nel
LE HARVE has produced two fair efforts in this province with his recent outing at a similar level clearly indicating his preference for today's extra furlong. It is hardly surprising that top jockey Yeni retains the ride on the four-year old who has his peak effort.
Race 5: ISINGAMOYA(3)
Jockey: K De Melo- Trainer: M Dixon
This is a tricky six furlong Pinnacle Stakes contest where the LUNAR RUSH formline over this c & d on 24/09 could be worth following. The first selection ISINGAMOYA fought hard before being pipped in a titanic three-way tussle along with the three-year old NEPTUNE'S RAIN (3kgs worse off) that day and she seemed in need of her comeback run on soft ground in late December.
Race 7: SUN ON AFRICA(2)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: D Bosch
Just seven entrants contest the day's topliner where a solid tempo is expected and that will suit the Bosch inmate SUN ON AFRICA who won his only c & d showing. He tired late to finish just three parts of a length adrift of former stablemate CELTIC CAPTAIN over slightly shorter on this course recently but now gets the expert services of Marcus.
TOP BET
Race 8: ONE MOMENT IN TIME(13)
Jockey: G Wrogemann - Trainer: P Lafferty
ONE MOMENT IN TIME is rated by the yard and he had an eye-catching debut over the mile on this course when quietly fancied early last month. That formline didn't amount to much but the experience would have brought the son of King's Chapel on and he should relish the step-up in distance. He jumps from a good draw today.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 2: TUNE OF ANGELS(10)
Jockey: G Wrogemann - Trainer: K Naidoo
TUNE OF ANGELS was probably unsuited to blinkers in her below-par recent display behind subsequent winner Val-La-Ree but she showed potential on debut over this trip and could be an entirely different proposition without the headgear today.
