Magic Tips – Best Bets
Race 3: SAILOR GIRL (4)
Jockey: K De Melo – Trainer: S Ferreira
Jockey: K De Melo – Trainer: S Ferreira
SAILOR GIRL had some valid excuses for her less-than-stellar recent performance on soft ground at this course and distance. However, her earlier two runs showed promise, and this was her first race under the lights. Expect her to show a much-improved and exciting performance this time around.
Top Bet of the Day
Race 5: HAT PUNTANO (1)
Jockey: K Zechner – Trainer: M Azzie
HAT PUNTANO truly showcased his quality with an impressive win over SOCIAL ORDER six weeks ago at this course and distance, despite giving away 4.5 kgs. Now more familiar with the track, the imported colt looks well-placed on the official ratings. He’s the one to beat. SOCIAL ORDER, a lightly raced four-year-old, should relish this distance and is still developing, making for an interesting contender.
Race 6: VARSITY GIRL (6)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: G Walker
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: G Walker
VARSITY GIRL is a class above average and held her ground well in a tough feature race here three weeks back. Today, she faces only her age group, which plays to her advantage. This lightly raced daughter of Var is definitely a leading contender and looks well-treated on the official ratings.
Race 7: GUNS AND ROSES (1)
Jockey: M V. Rensburg – Trainer: G Woodruff
Jockey: M V. Rensburg – Trainer: G Woodruff
GUNS AND ROSES didn’t accelerate as expected stepping up to feature race company on her comeback run three weeks ago, but she only finished about four lengths behind the leaders. She will be fitter this time out. Prior to that she notched up an impressive five-win streak. Dropping significantly in class today and conceding weight, this daughter of Trippi is unquestionably above average and can reignite her winning streak. A strong pace will definitely be to her liking.
Value Bet
Race 4: GREEN TOP (1)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: A Laird
Race 4: GREEN TOP (1)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: A Laird
GREEN TOP was expected to perform better than her recent form suggested, but her trainer’s decision to switch her back to sprinting at this easier level could prove crucial. She encountered a bit of bad luck over a longer distance earlier this month and has since been dropped three pounds in the ratings. She looks poised to bounce back with a strong performance.
