Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 1: MAJOR RETURN(6)
Jockey: C ZACKEY  - Trainer: M & A AZZIE

MAJOR RETURN should make natural improvement from his fair debut over this trip on the inside course at Turffontein last month. He was quietly fancied that day and the well-related colt should be afford- ed much respect here

 

TOP BET

Race 2: CHITENGO(4)
Jockey: R Simons  - Trainer: A Laird

CHITENGO would have strengthened during her 16 week rest and the well-bred bay filly can build on her smart second showing in a decent line-up. Of course her conqueror Running Brave finished 4th in a subsequent Grade 2 event whilst the runner-up of that event Return Flight smashed her opposition when winning her next two starts. 

 
Race 6: JIKA(5)
Jockey: L HEWITSON   - Trainer: S TARRY

JIKA is the obvious form choice after some consistent form including finishing runner-up twice to subsequent Listed winner Infamous Fox in his last two starts. He had the three-year old SOLDIER ON just under half a length behind him recently but is 0.5kg better off and the likely dictator could enjoy a soft lead from pole position.

 

 
Race 7: OOJOOBA(7)
Jockey: R Simons  - Trainer: M De Kock

This is a tricky maiden contest where all eyes will firmly be on the Dynasty filly OOJOOBA who races a mere two weeks after she was reportedly lame in her much improved second outing. The de Kock inmate tired late into a creditable 3rd over seven furlongs that day and she is bred to relish this extra ground. Of course she ventures around the turn.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: GLAMOROUS SCANDAL(5)
Jockey: R Simons   - Trainer - M De Kock 

The de Kock inmate GLAMOROUS SCANDAL is threatening a 'big performance' after her fair last few tries and she meets recent conquerors EMPRESS VALLEY (2.5kgs worse off) and ITSMYDARLIN (1kg worse off) on favourable terms today. The trio should enjoy the likely solid tempo and could fight out a thrilling finish.
