Race 10: LINEKER (5)
Magic Tips by eMeM – Best Bets:
Race 1: PLAY ANOTHER TUNE (7)
Jockey: W Kennedy – Trainer: G Van Zyl
The opening race highlights promising juveniles, and PLAY ANOTHER TUNE is a standout. Having made an exciting debut over 800m at Scottsville earlier this month, this son of Noble Tune demonstrated excellent pace and resilience, recovering strongly after being cramped at a critical point. This experience is sure to give him an edge.
Race 2: HERO QUEST (3)
Jockey: A Delpech – Trainer: B Crawford
HERO QUEST is an improving bay gelding who excels over the distance and seeks a local hat-trick. After a recent well-deserved win and a five-pound penalty, the application of blinkers has enhanced his peak performance.
Race 4: ROCKING RUBY (10)
Jockey: S Randolph – Trainer: W Whitehead
ROCKING RUBY, a daughter of Seventh Rock, showed promise on debut over the course and distance. Despite a slow start, she finished strongly in second place, closing the gap significantly on the winner. With natural improvement expected, she should benefit greatly from the likely fast pace.
Top Bet for Today:
Race 6: BYLINE (9)
Jockey: A Marcus – Trainer: D Howells
BYLINE has improved on her second outing, despite traffic issues that hindered a closer finish. The form from that race has proven strong, with other runners winning subsequent races. Likely stronger after a six-week break, she will jump from a favourable barrier with top jockey Marcus aboard.
Value Bet for Today:
Race 5: DANTE’S ROCK (6)
Jockey: K De Melo – Trainer: D Drier
DANTE’S ROCK, although previously unsuited by blinkers, showed enough form to be considered here. Though needing to close a gap on rivals like PRINCE OF PROMISE, who has shown strong form, DANTE’S ROCK’s wide racing in previous outings leaves room for improvement, making him a good value option.
