Magic Tips Best Bets

TOP BET

Race 1: ROYAL ITALIAN(8)

Jockey: L Hewitson  - Trainer: S Tarry  

ROYAL ITALIAN proved that he is above-average after the Tarry inmate placed in back-to-back features behind the unbeaten Bold Eagle and the Pomodoro colt drops to maiden company this evening

Race 2: SHAKESPEARE INLOVE(1)

Jockey: R Simons  - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

SHAKESPEARE INLOVE has had many chances but she still holds strong claims in this moderate maiden contest. The bay daughter of Trippi tired late over this c & d behind subsequent Oaks Trial winner Chariot Of Gold in her penultimate outing and she wasn't disgraced behind male opposition next time out

Race 5: GREEN PEPPER (7)

Jockey: R Simons   - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

The classy filly GREEN PEPPER has had a belated start to this campaign but she is coming back to her best and that was evident after her solid last feature attempt. She has a bit to do at the weights with the best rated entrant TRIP TO HEAVEN tonight but is unbeaten from two starts over this minimum distance and she runs really well for this jockey. Of course she had the latter comfortably behind her in their recent clash on 10/03

Race 8: ZOUAVES(5)

Jockey: M V.Rensburg   - Trainer: G Woodruff 

ZOUAVES had a satisfactory last showing in a sprint feature, the formline of which must be monitored earlier in the evening by the progress of Green Pepper (runs in race 5). The talented inmate from the Woodruff yard prefers tonight's distance and racing around the turn and only his class carried him through back-to-back sprint victories before that last showing.

VALUE BET

Race 6: AEROBATIC(7)

Jockey: L Hewitson    - Trainer: G Alexander 

AEROBATIC had an improved last start in stronger company over slightly further and she will prefer reverting to her best distance tonight. The bay filly drops heavily in class and she could be the right one in this moderate handicap.
