Magic Tips’ Favourite Picks
Race 1: STUNNING SEED (3)
Jockey: G Wrogemann – Trainer: S Humby
Jockey: G Wrogemann – Trainer: S Humby
STUNNING SEED was held back due to traffic problems in a recent outing on this course and distance four weeks ago but showed enough promise. This lightly raced filly is on the mend, with her yard’s only runner on the day and she’s expected to be fitter and sharper this time. Keep an eye on CAMPHORATUS, an improving contender who has plenty of backers.
Race 2: RIVER OF JANUARY (9)
Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: D Drier
Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: D Drier
RIVER OF JANUARY, the full-brother of multiple Grade 1 winner Bela-Bela, showed solid performances last year. After a 19-week break, he returns tonight and could be a serious competitor if he replicates his promising debut five-furlong run at this course.
Race 6: GREEN ICE (7)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: A Wright
After a couple of disappointing runs, the three-year-old GREEN ICE showed her true quality with a thrilling recent win over the mare ZILLA, to whom she is 2kgs better off. She made a decisive move and finished strongly in a close race on this track over a similar distance. Carrying just a minor two-pound penalty, she looks set to continue her good form despite the weight change.
TOP TIP FOR THE DAY
Race 7: PURE VALOR (4)
Jockey: L Pagel – Trainer: L Denysschen
The seasoned campaigner PURE VALOR excels on this surface, having comfortably beaten strong opposition over a longer distance earlier this month. With only a minimal two-pound penalty to his name, he looks primed to repeat the performance at a slightly lower level. The drop to the mile distance shouldn’t be a concern.
VALUE TIP FOR THE DAY
Race 3: AFRICAN NIGHT SKY (14)
Jockey: B Fayd’Herbe – Trainer: J Snaith
Race 3: AFRICAN NIGHT SKY (14)
Jockey: B Fayd’Herbe – Trainer: J Snaith
The prestigious event boasts strong representation from Queen’s Plate form. The winner’s time suggests the race was run at a false tempo, which didn’t suit last season’s Winter Series champion, AFRICAN NIGHT SKY. Given his peak form and preference for this ten-furlong distance, the Dynasty gelding is well-placed to upset the favourites today.
