Race 7: DAN THE LAD (1)
Race 9: SAMMI MOOSA (8)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: FRANCO (1)
Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: Devin LITTLE
The natural frontrunner FRANCO weakened after setting the pace from his wide draw at handicap level recently but should be really effective against his own age group today. He proved his ability with a smart debut win over this distance prior to that and the bay gelding could be suited to this short run-in. He clearly has lots more scope for progress
Race 5: SEPTEMBER BLOOM (3)
Jockey: S'manga Khumalo - Trainer: Lucky HOUDALAKIS
SEPTEMBER BLOOM is knocking hard at the door for her next career victory and she holds definite claims over an ideal track & trip. She should race more prominently from her good draw and that could make the difference.
TOP BET
Race 7: PILOU (3)
Jockey: S'manga KHUMALO - Trainer: Sean TARRY
PILOU is an improving type who could still be way ahead of the handicapper's assessment particularly when he goes over ground next season. The three-year old chestnut gelding is rated by his top class conditioner and he should have finished closer than 4th on his handicap debut over this c & d early last month but for some crucial traffic issues. The son of Western Winter will appreciate the likely solid gallop and he should go very close despite his hefty mass.
Race 9: SAMMI MOOSA (8)
Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: St John GRAY
SAMMI MOOSA is holding her form well at this level recently and she can go one better than her smart 2nd achieved over this c & d, four weeks ago. She finished comfortably ahead of September Bloom that day and it could pay to follow the latter's progress in race 5 on today's card. This three-year old filly runs well for this in-form jockey.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 3: GRAF SPEE (9)
Jockey: Dylan R LERENA - Trainer: Joe SOMA
GRAF SPEE is a well-tried four-year old who has shown fair staying ability and his recent performances up to ten furlongs have hinted that he could enjoy this marathon journey. The Silvano gelding is his conditioner's only runner on the card and his career best outing came with today's jockey in the saddle.
