Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: NIGHT LILY (6)
Jockey: Munger R – Trainer: Sage R
NIGHT LILY challenged strongly in her last start over 1800m, but found one too good in the form of Ubiquitas. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Byword will be at home over the 2000m and should be cherry-ripe. From pole position, she should take a power of beating.

Race 4: BLACK THORN (2)
Jockey: Lerena G – Trainer: Tarry S
BLACK THORN is the best bet on the programme. He has been ultra-impressive in his last two victories over this distance at Turffontein. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in his last outing has come out and won since. The son of Pomodoro clearly has ability and with a bit of luck from his wide draw, he should notch up the hat-trick
Race 7: GODSWOOD (1)
Jockey: Brewer K – Trainer: Peter P
GODSWOOD’S last two starts have been good. He produced a strong finish when second over this C&D, five weeks ago. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this C&D. 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Kaidan Brewer takes the ride and the pair should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 8: ESQUEVELLE (9)
Jockey: Lerena G – Trainer: Binda C
ESQUEVELLE finished 0.35 lengths behind GOLIATH HERON last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. It must be noted that Goethe has come out and won again since. The son of Pathfork is lightly raced with plenty of scope and may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

Race 5: FIRE FLOWER (5)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: De Kock M
FIRE FLOWER took on male company in her last start over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She has finished second once and third twice from four starts over this C&D. The daughter of Flower Alley takes a drop in class and back against her own sex, she may be the one to side with
