Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SHALLCROSS(1)
Jockey: C MAUJEAN - Trainer: T LAING
SHALLCROSS bounced right back to form when he was pipped in a tight finish on the polytrack nine days ago and the Twice Over gelding has enjoyed good local success on this course. Of course he finished just over one length ahead of the three-year old HIPPIE TRAIL that day and is 5kgs worse off but is expected to enjoy the extra ground and can get that deserved first career win
TOP BET
Race 4: MADAME SPEAKER(1)
Jockey: G CHEYNE - Trainer: A GREEFF
The high quality MADAME SPEAKER proved her worth over this distance as she fought on doggedly for a close 3rd in a tight finish in a c & d feature last month. The runner-up March Music was narrowly defeated subsequently but this daughter of Pathfork is really well in at the weights and she can again produce the goods in mixed company
Race 7: PAPER TOWN(5)
Jockey: M YENI - Trainer: G SMITH
Just seven entrants head to post for this competitive and most intriguing handicap where a likely sedate gallop is expected to be set by the solitary natural frontrunner SILVER BLADE. This four-year old seemed over his issues as he ran on well to win his recent start over further on the polytrack and he can raise his game at this much higher level. The chestnut son of Jay Peg will be partnered by the red-hot stable jockey. That said, he will get plenty of competition from the first selection PAPER TOWN who also had an eye-catching last c & d run and may still be ahead of the handicapper after the three pound hike. This Bezrin gelding can race close to the pace

Race 8: LEADMAN(4)
Jockey: C MAUJEAN - Trainer: T LAING
In stark contrast to the prior event, the gallop should be really strong in this low-key handicap over a mile where the Green Lantern (runs in prior event) c & d formline is well-represented. The first selection LEADMAN ran on strongly for a close 3rd in that event three weeks ago
VALUE BET
Race 5: SMOKEY AFFAIR(8)
Jockey: R MUNGER - Trainer: S B KOTZEN
An intriguing and highly competitive mile handicap for fillies where an exciting finish is expected. The bay mare SMOKEY AFFAIR returns over her optimum distance and she meets many of today's rivals on highly favourable weight terms. Of course she was pipped in a listed feature the last time she raced over this track & trip in late July
