Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: HEART AND MIND (2)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Matchett P
HEART AND MIND produced a promising debut effort over 800m on this course. She showed good speed, understandably raced green before getting outrun late. It must be noted that River Queraress has come out and won again since. The daughter of Var would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she can go one better.
Race 2: ROCK THE FOX (8)
Jockey: Habib C – Trainer: Tarry S
ROCK THE FOX ran a good race when finishing second on debut against winners. She showed good speed, found another kick and rallied late. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Canford Cliffs would have gained from the experience and against maiden company, she should take a power of beating.
Top Bet For Today
Race 5: BARD OF AVON (1)
Jockey: Munger R – Trainer: Fortune A
BARD OF AVON has good consistent form lines to his credit. He ran a good race when finishing third in the Grade 3 Lebelo Sprint last time. It must be noted that Gallic Princess who finished second that day has come out and won since. He is well weighted and should notch up his fourth career victory.
Race 7: VASEEM (9)
Jockey: Danielson R – Trainer: Magner R
VASEEM ran a good race when finishing second behind SWEET FUTURE over 1100m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He is unbeaten from three starts over this C&D. The 5yo gelding carries another handy galloping mass of 54kgs and is the horse to beat.
