Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: WINGS OF LIGHT(2)

Jockey: D Mansour   - Trainer: St John Gray

WINGS OF LIGHT has shown marked improvement in her last two starts over ground, particularly when she stayed on for 5th in handicap company over nine furlongs ten days ago. Of course she is back facing her own age group today and has no issue with the slight drop in distance.

TOP BET

Race 3: CAUSEWAY CRUISER(6)

Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: P Peter 

CAUSEWAY CRUISER had a fair debut over this c & d on Summer Cup Day but hasn't been since. That formline worked out really well in his absence though and the Twice Over gelding can make up for lost time. He is the stable's only runner on the day.

Race 6: SHUKAMISA(4)

Jockey: L Ferraris   - Trainer: O Ferraris 

This is a tricky seven furlong handicap which features some high quality sorts with more than half the field of seven entrants returning from a trip down to KZN. The first selection SHUKAMISA enjoyed success when he produced a strong finish over a similar distance there and he has certainly improved with the aid of blinkers. He won't mind the likely sedate tempo in this small field and of course he boasts a smart c & d record.

Race 7: HAFLA(6)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: S Tarry 

HAFLA put her disappointing penultimate effort on soft ground firmly behind her when she produced a powerful late burst to beat subsequent winner MAKE ME HAPPY going away over this trip at the Vaal recently and she certainly appears to have escaped the handicapper after receiving the surprising minimum two pound penalty. The pair meet on similar weight terms but the latter may prefer racing on the tight inside circuit.

VALUE BET

Race 2: GIFT FOR THE GAP(3)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: C Zackey

The pace should be solid in this competitive mile contest for juveniles and that will suit the improving top rating GIFT FOR THE GAP. The well-bred bay colt expectedly enjoyed the rise in trip as he ran on strongly to win his maiden over nine furlongs on the tight inside circuit last month. He is back facing his own age group now and he should make further progress.
