Magic Tips Best Bets

Race 3: DUAL AT DAWN (12)
Jockey: K Matsunyane - Trainer: S Tarry

DUAL AT DAWN has only had the one outing where he was running on well at the finish over this c&d. He would have come on with the run under his belt and should be a factor in this line-up. He attracted no betting support that day which could mean that his connections felt that he was not quite ready to win on debut.

 

TOP BET

Race 4: IVALO'S PRINCE (12)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: G Woodruff 

IVALO'S PRINCE has only had the one run where he ran on strongly in a workriders event over six furlongs and is sure to enjoy the extra distance of today's race. He drifted in the betting that day, but he would have come on from the run and should be right up there when they reach the wire.

 
Race 7: LADY OF STEEL (4)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: J Janse van Vuuren

LADY OF STEEL won well on debut over this c&d. She was slow into stride but then ran on strongly to mow down the opposition in the closing stages. She would no doubt have come on with the run and she could rack up a quick double here.

 
Race 10: STATELY HOME (10)
Jockey: G Lerena - Trainers: M de Kock

STATELY HOME followed up her maiden win over a mile at this track with a creditable third over ten furlongs after being slow into stride. With Gavin Lerena retaining the ride, she may be the one that they all have to beat.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: LOOK TO THE SKY (2)
Jockey: M van Rensburg - Trainer: M Houdalakis 

The Clinton Binda yard looks to have a strong hand in this race with the preference going to LOOK TO THE SKY who gets 4kgs removed from his allocated weight courtesy of his claiming apprentice. He has his peak run here and could cause the upset. His stable companion LAND OF THE BRAVE is taken to chase him home.
