Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: VENETA (8)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: JC Janse van Vuuren
VENETA showed good improvement when finishing second over 1000m on the Vaal Classic course last time. She showed good speed that day, but found one too good in the form of Alula’s Star. The daughter of Flower Alley looks progressive and she will love the extra furlong on offer. Gavin Lerena takes the ride and she should take a power of beating.
Race 5: CLAFOUTIS (9)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: M de Kock
CLAFOUTIS showed some improvement in her last start over 1600m on the Standside course against winners. She raced from a handy position that day, but found one too good in the form of Follow Me. She returns from a 10-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. She is back in Maiden Company this afternoon and may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: REUNION (1)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: B Botes/Vosloo
REUNION has been super-impressive in his last two victories. He set the pace in a small field over this distance last time and found another kick to draw clear of the opposition. He faces some stiff opposition today, but he has plenty of ability and should notch up the hat-trick.
Race 8: OUT OF YOUR LEAGE (1)
OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE was far from disgraced when finishing third in the Grade 3 Gold Cup last time. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. He takes a drop back in class this afternoon and may be too good for this field.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: VERINOVA (2)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Sage
VERINOVA took on stronger in her last start over this distance at the Vaal. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Var takes a drop in class this afternoon and if jumping on terms, she can return to winning ways
