Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: PEARLY ROCK(8)

Jockey: L Burke - Trainer: D Katz 

The speedy PEARLY ROCK is improving with each start and he only tired late into 3rd behind two useful sorts over this c & d in open company two weeks ago. The bay colt is back facing his own age group today and he should continue to progress. The other speedster is ROCK OF ASIA who is favourably drawn on the standside of the course and he gets the expert services of Fourie.

Race 2: GRAND SILVANO(5)

Jockey: G Cheyne - Trainer: B Crawford

GRAND SILVANO is making up for lost time and the three-year old gelding produced two smart efforts since returning from a lengthy 24 week absence. He stayed on to finish runner-up over seven furlongs recently and will relish the step-up to the mile. The son of Silvano will be strongly aided by pole position.

Race 7: SPRING MAN(6)

Jockey: G Cheyne  - Trainer: B Crawford

This is yet another intriguing renewal of the Winter Classic & in the absence of natural frontrunners, the eventual dictator could be hard to peg back. SPRING MAN is better than rated and gelding did the trick as the son of Marchfield improved over shorter in open company three weeks ago. He will relish this step-up in distance and could make all the running.

TOP BET

Race 8: FRESNAYE(2)

Jockey:  R Fourie - Trainer: J Ramsden

The Rainbow Bridge formline in the prior event should be closely monitored as the first selection here FRESNAYE wasn't disgraced in mixed company behind the former over this c & d last time out. The best weighted daughter of Western Winter will be fitter today and she should take a power of beating. Of course her career highlights were her back-to-back 3rd placed finishes behind Snowdance & Oh Susanna at the highest level during the summer.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 9: STEP OUT(13)

Jockey: J Samuel - Trainer: G Kotzen 

The Green Archer formline has already reaped dividends and the four-year old chestnut filly, STEP OUT can cause a major upset in this low-key handicap back against her own sex. Of course she failed to feature in that recent contest but the daughter of Silvano has continued to tumble in the merit ratings after showing earlier promise, including a c & d maiden victory.
