Magic Tips Best Bets

TOP BET

Race 2: TIA(1)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: Janse van Vuuren

TIA is a promising sort who produced her best in a competitive sprint earlier this month and this fast circuit should suit her running style. She meets very ordinary rivals but the obvious concern is that she ventures around the turn for the first time.

Race 3: CHIMICHURI RUN(7)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry 

The juvenile CHIMICHURI RUN was heavily backed when he stayed on strongly for a close 3rd on debut over this trip earlier this month and he should make natural improvement.

Race 5: NEW ZEALAND(1)
Jockey: L Hewitson  - Trainer: S Tarry

NEW ZEALAND has shown smart ability and her latest effort clearly indicated that she will relish this rise to ten furlongs. The Tarry inmate has unfortunately drawn widest but she will be cherry-ripe and could prove to be above-average

Race 6: DEFY GRAVITY(3)
Jockey: F Herholdt  - Trainer: R Magner

DEFY GRAVITY may have just been found out by the ten furlongs in his solid last effort behind GENTLEMAN ONLY and he can reverse the form over this suitable trip today. The bay gelding's fortunes have turned around since he has been fitted with blinkers. The pair meet on similar weight terms but the latter certainly prefers that extra furlong to be at his best.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 7: SHOTGUN RIDER(11)
Jockey: F Herholdt - Trainer - R Magner

The lightweight SHOTGUN RIDER is better than his dismal recent form and he drops sharply to a more than suitable distance today. That said, his recent formline was boosted when the 3rd placed entrant Detonation won his subsequent start and the well drawn gelding can cause the upset.
