Magic Tips’ Best Bets
Race 2: PARTY CRASHER (5)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: G Kotzen
In a tight handicap featuring five talented four-year-old fillies, expect a solid pace and a thrilling close finish. PARTY CRASHER has shown great promise and, though it’s been a year since her last win, that victory was right here at the same course and distance. Trainer Glen Kotzen’s charge is a strong contender in peak form and adapts well to smart race tactics.
Race 4: MERAKI (2)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
The imported MERAKI is steadily improving and will find the extended run-in perfect. This son of Canford Cliffs recently claimed third over seven furlongs, and his form was boosted by the runner-up, Love Happens, who later scored a win. The extra furlong suits him well, and his strong finish offsets any concerns about his wide draw.
Top Bet
Race 5: KAMAISHI (1)
Jockey: M Byleveld – Trainer: M Robinson
KAMAISHI has thrived stepping up to the mile recently, finishing a close second two weeks ago. The longer run suits her perfectly, and she is the standout in the field. This daughter of Tiger Ridge has improved well since the blinkers went on, and the form of her last outing looks solid. Although she faces an awkward barrier draw, her progression makes her a serious threat for first place.
Race 9: MACDUFF (3)
Jockey: A Marcus – Trainer: J Ramsden
MACDUFF, an impressive chestnut from the Power Grid form line, showed a strong finish in a recent six-furlong sprint and should appreciate the extra furlong today. With top jockey Marcus aboard and a desirable gate 1 draw, this imported son of Street Cry is in prime position to make his mark.
Value Bet of the Day
Race 8: PILLAR OF HERCULES (3)
Jockey: A Marcus – Trainer: V H Marshall
It’s worth keeping an eye on the form of Green Plains from an earlier race, as PILLAR OF HERCULES finished a credible 4th in a competitive six-furlong sprint during his comeback three weeks ago. This Captain Al gelding should be fitter now and has proven capability at this shorter trip.
