Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 2: IT TAKES TWO(1)

Jockey: C Zackey  - Trainer: G Terzi 

IT TAKES TWO is coming to hand and she ran on strongly for a close 2nd over this c & d last month. The four-year old chestnut BOUTIQUE made steady headway on her fair debut on a tight circuit around the turn two weeks ago and should make natural progress. She can reverse the form with the exposed entrant WITHOUT LIMITS who has posted some useful recent form. 

TOP BET

Race 3: PALACE ASSEMBLY(1)

Jockey: L Ferraris - Trainer: MG/AA Azzie 

PALACE ASSEMBLY bounced right back to his best form despite traffic issues as he ran on smartly for 2nd behind the highly regarded Sacred Castle (runs in race 8) at Turffontein last month. STOCKBRIDGE could be the likely improver after the de Kock inmate had a fair debut in a competitive line-up three weeks ago.

Race 4: GLITTER PATH(3)

Jockey: K Matsunyane  - Trainer: G Maroun 

GLITTER PATH may have just failed to stay the mile in a competitive last event but she had a solid penultimate performance over this trip in a strong field. JOSI DI NERO had an improved last sprint in mixed company and she is bred to handle the extra furlong on her peak showing. 

Race 10: PRINCE JORDAN (7)

Jockey: P Strydom  - Trainer: G Maroun

The Maroun yard is well-represented in this maximum field and PRINCE JORDANcan follow up on his overdue recent triumph over further. The versatile gelding has a c & d victory to his credit. MOON WARRIOR can build on his improved last showing and he is 5kgs better off with his latest conqueror CONCEALED SECRET from the Tarry yard. 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 1: ANNATJIE(16)

Jockey: R Danielson  - Trainer: St John Gray

The Look To The Sky formline is well-represented and the speedy filly ANNATJIE was heavily supported in that contest. Of course she sweated up badly but only tired late into a creditable 5th, beaten just over three lengths at the line. She finished just under one length adrift of DONDERWEER who also debuted in that outing where this bay colt ran on late for 4th.
