Magic Tips’ Best Bets
Top Bet
Race 3: ACE OF SPEED (7)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: E Verdonese
ACE OF SPEED showed promising improvement when he smartly stayed on for third place in a quality field over a similar distance, despite being wide on the track last outing. This well-related bay colt is expected to keep progressing, and with top jockey Gavin Lerena back in the saddle, he stands a strong chance to shine.
Race 5: SKY HIGH (15)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
SKY HIGH made a quiet but impressive debut, finishing a strong second over seven furlongs at Turffontein last month. Bred to handle the step up in distance, this chestnut colt is poised to improve naturally. Plus, his stable has been in fine form recently.
Race 7: SYLVAN ON FIRE (5)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Dawson
The pinnacle nine-furlong Stakes race looks to be a fierce contest with a solid pace expected. SYLVAN ON FIRE continues to mature remarkably with each run. The classy four-year-old finished a close 4th in a Grade 2 race over a mile recently, running well above her rating. She is better than her current handicap suggests, especially with a weight advantage over some rivals.
Race 9: TORRE DEL ORO (4)
Jockey: A Delpech – Trainer: S Tarry
TORRE DEL ORO has improved considerably since gelding, proving he’s on an upward trajectory. Preferring a solid gallop, he finished strongly to claim victory over this course and distance on yielding ground two weeks ago. Despite a weight penalty and a rise in class, this Trippi gelding has more to give and could complete a hat-trick.
Value Bet
Race 4: WRITTEN (2)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
WRITTEN is returning after a lengthy 59-week break with some challenges to overcome. However, the well-bred daughter of Western Winter showed fair potential behind some promising rivals early in her career. Her trainer is known to bring horses back fresh and fit. Watch out for her to cause an upset on her comeback.
