Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: POORMANSLADY(14)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH - Trainer: Mike DE KOCK

POORMANSLADY showed smart improvement when she tried 1700m at the Vaal second time out and she finish- ed more than two lengths clear of the next placed entrant. This tough seven furlongs on this galloping track should suit the improving daughter of Kahal who has drawn well at gate 4.

Race 3: HAKEEM(6)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH - Trainer: Mike DE KOCK

The imported son of Redoute's Choice, HAKEEM gave his conditioner different options after his solid last sprint when equipped with blinkers. The highly rated brown colt was caught late by an older rival over this c & d that day. He has plenty of improvement still to come and may prove better than rated over sprint trips.

TOP BET

Race 5: NEW PREDATOR(1)
Jockey: Gavin LERENA - Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN

The five-year-old entire' NEW PREDATOR is best rated in this Pinnacle Stakes affair and he races over an ideal trip. Of course, he expectedly failed to handle ten furlongs in the Summer Cup last time albeit he was reportedly not striding out. The Australian import had decent form prior to that recent effort.

Race 8: FORTISSIMA(6)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH  - Trainer: Joe SOMA

FORTISSIMA was super-impressive when she easily defeated EASTERN PEARL (1.5kgs worse off) in a two-mile feature on Summer Cup Day and she has developed into a high-quality stayer. The bay mare is best weighted on official ratings and she should have no issue with the drop in distance.

VALUE BET

Race 7: MATADOR MAN(9) 
Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON   - Trainer: Sean TARRY

MATADOR MAN has found it difficult to scale the heights he ended last campaign on but there was some eye-catching late progress from the classy gelding in his last effort behind ROMANY PRINCE (5.5kgs worse off) over a mile on this course three weeks ago. He will prefer this step-up in distance and the four-year-old is only 0.5kg out at the weights with the best-weighted entrant ABASHIRI.
