Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: MARGIN CALL (2)

Jockey: G van Niekerk – Trainer: J Snaith

MARGIN CALL has shown big improvement in her last two starts with the blinkers fitted. She raced from a handy position in her last outing over this C&D, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Giverny. The well-related daughter of Master Of My Fate is a progressive type and with Grant van Niekerk in the saddle, she can shed her maiden tag.

Race 3: AFRICAN RAIN (1)

Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson

AFRICAN RAIN was ultra-impressive when winning his last start over this C&D. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this C&D. The son of Soft Falling Rain has class about him and should notch up his fifth career victory.

Race 4: BEREAVE (3)

Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: A Marcus

BEREAVE ran a cracker when finishing second in the Grade 2 Cape Merchants last time. He lost a length at the start, but finished his race off strongly. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He should have no issues with the slight drop in distance and if jumping on terms, he should be the one to beat.

Top Bet For Today

Race 6: HOEDSPRUIT (1)

Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: J Snaith

HOEDSPRUIT is the best bet on the programme. He was an impressive winner in the Listed Algoa Cup over 2000m at Fairview. He lost a length at the start that day, but quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. The classy son of Legislate is in a good space and should complete the hat-trick.

Value Bet For Today

Race 8: SILVER OPERATOR (4)

Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: V Marshall

SILVER OPERATOR is much better than his last start in the Non-Black Type Cape Mile. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is unbeaten from three starts over this C&D and he should keep that record intact under Craig Zackey
