Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: DYNASTY’S BOY (3)
Jockey: Aldo DOMEYER Trainer: Candice BASS-ROBINSON
Small fields are typical today with only five maidens in the mix. DYNASTY’S BOY showed great improvement following a long break, making a strong finish to claim second place at Kenilworth over six furlongs just a fortnight ago. Returning from a 30-week rest, this gelding is expected to be in prime condition today thanks to the expert training of Candice Bass-Robinson.
Race 3: READY STEADY GO (4)
Jockey: G Behr Trainer: H Crawford
READY STEADY GO delivered a solid second run on his handicap debut, notably overcoming a hefty weight. He previously won over this course in October, beating a dual subsequent winner, What A Winner. The extra furlong today suits him perfectly, and with the best draw in the field, he looks a strong contender and tough to beat.
TOP BET
Race 5: MERAKI (1)
Jockey: A Domeyer Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
The imported colt MERAKI faltered in the final stages over a mile in a strong race recently but should prefer the slightly shorter distance and the run-in today. He has shown promising ability, and from a favourable draw, the Bass-Robinson inmate is poised to perform well. His stablemate CRADLEOFGRATITUDE should also be considered as he is rarely far off, though he is a length and a half behind MERAKI from their last encounter. Well drawn and ready to contest for a place.
Race 6: ZANADU (1)
Jockey: B Fayd’Herbe Trainer: J Stewart
ZANADU has shown marked improvement since partnering with today’s leading jockey, finishing a commendable 4th over this trip at Kenilworth on his last outing. The form line is boosted by the strong performances of the runner-up and third-place finishers, making this Ideal World filly the one to beat in an ordinary field.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 7: MTOROSHANGA (5)
Jockey: R Khathi Trainer: P Kruyer
The frontrunner MTOROSHANGA tired near the finish in a competitive mile race recently but shows a better profile over the slightly shorter distance today. The track suits his front-running style, and the bay gelding is expected to bounce back quickly. As the stable’s sole runner today, he’ll have full support.
