Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: IMPERIAL QUEST (14)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
IMPERIAL QUEST showed promising form on debut, improving to finish a strong second two weeks ago. Trainor S Tarry is expected to have him progressing well for this outing. CAPTAIN’S ALPHA is back following a long 24-week break but showed potential with a solid debut earlier this season and is likely to have come on since.

Top Bet
Race 5: MUSTAAQEEM (3)
Jockey: C Murray – Trainer: M De Kock
The exceptionally talented MUSTAAQEEM makes his seasonal debut, possibly due to injury, but trainer De Kock’s patience may well pay dividends. With a standout juvenile season highlighted by a Grade 1 victory, he is still the horse to beat despite the layoff and his current weight advantage.

Race 7: KEANAN’S ROCK (8)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe – Trainer: S Tarry
KEANAN’S ROCK bounced back to form recently with blinkers on, finishing a close 2nd at this course and distance without a penalty. LAUREN OF ROCHELLE, in great form and with a sharp ride, recently defeated some strong rivals at Turffontein and performs even better here. Expect a competitive race despite his weight penalty.

Race 9: NORDIC REBEL (6)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: E Verdonese
NORDIC REBEL displayed a sharp finishing burst to win at this course and distance recently, earning only a minimal penalty. He races against the course specialist WITCH KING on slightly worse terms following a close defeat in an earlier race.

Race 4: COSMIC MIST (10)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg – Trainer: S Ferreira
COSMIC MIST, an economical buy, was an outsider on debut but showed promising late progress in good company three weeks ago. The form was strengthened by a subsequent win from the third-placed horse, suggesting this filly is set for improvement.
