Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: EXQUISITE EIGHT(1)

Jockey: Craig BANTAM - Trainer: Paul LAFFERTY

EXQUISITE EIGHT bounced back to best form with a pleasing c & d effort under this claiming apprentice two weeks ago. Her inside barrier is a slight concern but she meets far weaker rivals and has the early speed to track over to the middle of the track. The bay filly will be cherry-ripe and she should be competitive.

Race 3: LUCKY VEIL(3)

Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Ivan & Darryl MOORE

LUCKY VEIL failed to quicken when trying the turn and seven furlongs recently but his smart prior form proves that he is capable of much better. The blinkers could make a significant difference to the Muhtafal colt who went very close to winning his penultimate start over this c & d. Top jockey Marcus partners the chestnut who is his yard's only entrant on the card.

TOP BET

Race 5: SCRABBLE(13)

Jockey: Anthony DELPECH - Trainer: Tony RIVALLAND

SCRABBLE showed good speed before staying on for 2nd in a much improved second outing over this c & d recently and he will have plenty more to offer today. He is unfavourably drawn but his top jockey should take care of that and the Byword gelding can go one better.

Race 7: CARIBBEAN DAY(1)

Jockey: Brandon LERENA - Trainer: Mark DIXON

The veteran gelding and track specialist CARIBBEAN DAY had an improved last performance at a slightly higher level and now has his peak showing. He deservedly shoulders a big mass but the likely sedate gallop will play right into his hands and he can cause the upset for his in-form yard.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 2: MEET THE LOGANS(4)

Jockey: Warren KENNEDY - Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL

MEET THE LOGANS is improving and she fought hard when touched off by a heavily supported first timer over this c & d three weeks ago. She finished a length and a half in front of the debutante LOVE THEME and this daughter of Fort Wood will be cherry-ripe today. She has strong claims from her favourable draw.
