Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: POWERS THAT BE (3)
Jockey: K Brewer – Trainer: A Laird
POWERS THAT BE should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung outwards in the final 300m. The daughter of Querari steps up to the mile which should suit her well. She is back against her own sex and if keeping on a straight line, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: JET DYNASTY (9)
Jockey: K De Melo – Trainer: S Tarry
JET DYNASTY caught the eye when second in his last start over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course. He was slow into stride, but ran on strongly at the business end. The son of Dynasty would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. He will be at home over the mile and can go one better.
Race 7: FULL VELOCITY (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
FULL VELOCITY stayed on when fourth in the Grade 3 Betway Merchants last time. She returns from a 12-week break which would have done her the world of good. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from six starts over this C&D. The daughter of Philanthropist races well fresh and she can notch up her eighth career victory.
Race 8: BLUE WATERS (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BLUE WATERS was not disgraced when fourth in a Graduation Plate over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts on this course. The daughter of What A Winter will be at peak fitness and back in Handicap Company, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: SILVANO’S SONG (1)
Jockey: SCRATCHED – Trainer: S Pettigrew
SILVANO’S SONG ran on strongly when winning his maiden at the fourth time of asking. The son of Silvano will be at home over this distance. He does take on stronger, but is lightly raced and has plenty of scope. Kabelo Matsunyane retains the ride and the combination can follow up
