Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: TRICIA(1) – SCR

Jockey: P JEVU - Trainer: T ZACKEY

The long-time maiden TRICIA has hit a 'purple patch' recently and she finished just behind Cosmic Mist (runs in race 1) over the minimum trip three weeks ago. The four-year old chestnut is suited to the extra ground and is a major threat from pole position.

Race 4: PELICAN BAY(3)

Jockey: C NDLOVU - Trainer: P PETER

This isn't a straight forward event despite the betting market suggesting otherwise as the value could lie with PELICAN BAY who had decent form before his excusable last run. He has nearly ten lengths to find with the likely short-priced favourite DYNAJET but meets the latter on a whopping 6.5kgs and his good draw should make a significant difference. The latter produced his career best run when pipped in that maiden handicap over this c & d and though he faces a moderate line-up, it will still be tricky with the big mass this afternoon

TOP BET

Race 7: IRISH WONDER GIRL(8)

Jockey: C NDLOVU - Trainer: C VAN ZYL

IRISH WONDER GIRL has shown decent potential and she ran on from far back to register her career best attempt over a mile on this track last month. The 3rd placed entrant Shezahotti could only manage a weak 4th subsequently but this bay daughter of Irish Flame has huge scope for improvement and she is bred to love the extra furlong. She is drawn best of all with a promising workrider in the saddle and is her conditioner's solitary entrant on the day.

Race 8: FLATTLEY(6)

Jockey: J GWINGWIZHA - Trainer: S TARRY

The Tarry entrant FLATTLEY has shown decent improvement in his last two starts where he indicated that a pair of blinkers could be ideal for the son of Visionaire. His top conditioner has heeded the call and the bay could be a serious contender for the first prize

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 6: PRETTY BORDER(8)

Jockey: B COSSA - Trainer: D Nieuwenhuizen

PRETTY BORDER made steady headway in her improved last outing over shorter and this trip will be ideal for the daughter of Lateral today. She has upset potential on her peak showing
