Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: SPANISH FORT (6)
Jockey: D De Gouveia - Trainer: W Miller
SPANISH FORT has his second run after a rest and has finished second in his last two outings over this distance and will be looking to go one better this afternoon. He is a speedy sort who may well be able to keep all challengers at bay in the dash down to the line.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 5: AT THE OPERA (4)
Jockey: C Habib - Trainer: Z Oosthuizen
AT THE OPERA won his first start for his new trainer over nine furlongs last time out and will be hoping to complete a quick double a week later. He drew off in the closing stages that day and should have no issue dropping down to a mile.
Race 6: OH YEAH (6)
Jockey: C Storey - Trainer: W Miller
OH YEAH won his last outing over a mile in comfortable fashion and will be looking to follow up here. He jumps from gate three and the manner in which he delt with the opposition in that last victory would suggest that this is very much on the cards.
Race 8: KILDONAN PRINCES (1)
Jockey: M van Rensburg - Trainer: W Miller
KILDONAN PRINCESS has consistent formlines to her name and drew away well to win her last start over seven furlongs. She drops back down to six furlongs today, but this should not be a problem as she has recorded a win, a second and two third place finishes from six outings over this trip. Her draw two is a plus.
VALUE BET
Race 7: VIA SACRA (6)
Jockey: P Mxoli - Trainer: Z Oosthuizen
VIA SACRA is a 5yr old mare taking on the boys, but she won first time out for her new trainer and will get 4kgs taken off her back for the services of her claiming apprentice. She has the widest draw to negotiate, but she set the pace in her last victory and may be able to get to the front without using up too much energy.
