Race 3: CURIOUS (2)
Race 5: SAMOA (3)
Race 10: LOUVAIN (10)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: MAXIUMUS (8)
Jockey: Habib Devin - Trainer: Woodruff G
MAXIUMUS ran a decent race on debut when finishing 5th behind the highly rated Al Muthana. He found outside betting support that day which suggests that he had been showing decent work back at home. The son of Vercingetorix will enjoy the rise to the mile and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
Race 2: GEE FOR GO (2)
Jockey: Schwarz D - Trainer: Matchett P
GEE FOR GO showed good improvement in her last start over 1160m on the Standside course. She may have cost herself winning that day as she shifted away from the crop. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight will enjoy the rise to the mile and if keeping on a straight line, should go one better here.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 4: VESEO (9)
Jockey: Habib Devin - Trainer: Azzie M G/A A
VESEO is the best bet on this afternoon's card. She showed plenty of speed on debut and should have finished closer to the winner as she hung in the closing stages. The daughter of Potala Palace would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat.
Race 10: SAMURAI JACK (2)
Jockey: Khumalo S - Trainer: Laird A
SAMURAI JACK has produced two good runs since winning his maiden over this distance on the Standside course. He should be at peak fitness coming into this race and with regular pilot S'manga Khumalo retaining the ride, he should be the one they all have to beat.
VALUE BET
Race 7: OUR MAN IN HAVAN (4)
Jockey: Matsunyane K - Trainer: Habib F
OUR MAN IN HAVANA produced a typical 2nd run after a rest last time. He is much better than that effort and will enjoy dropping back to the nine furlongs. He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this trip. The son of Gimmethegreenlight should be cherry-ripe and can get back to winning ways.
