Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: THRONG(14)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
THRONG relished the step-up in distance as he produced an impressive second outing over a similar trip at the Vaal. He finished just one length behind the promising CAPTAIN’S COMMAND in that race, and both horses look set for further improvement.
Race 4: AWFAA(11)
Jockey: C Zackey- Trainer: M De Kock
AWFAA had a solid sprint debut in the competitive Schippers contest on this course last month despite some setbacks. Keep an eye on the form line, especially with Count Kournikova in today’s opener. This Silvano filly will have gained valuable experience and is well-suited to this step up in distance.
TOP BET
Race 8: COMME-CI-COMME-C(2)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: R Magner
Race 8: COMME-CI-COMME-C(2)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: R Magner
This competitive fillies and mares handicap could lack pace, playing perfectly into the hands of top jockey Strydom who has a strong record aboard the Magner-trained COMME-CI-COMME-CA. With a decent draw, this bay filly could take control of the race. Her recent form was enhanced when her last start runner-up Costa Da Sol followed up with a solid win.
Race 9: SUBTLE FORCE(3)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: Nieuwenhuizen
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: Nieuwenhuizen
The four-year-old SUBTLE FORCE is coming into her own and thrives on this galloping track. She claimed a course & distance win before adding another impressive victory at the Vaal over a longer trip four weeks back. Although slightly out of the weights, she is primed for a hat-trick.
VALUE BET
Race 7: JET AIR(7)
Jockey: K Zechner – Trainer: P Peter
Race 7: JET AIR(7)
Jockey: K Zechner – Trainer: P Peter
JET AIR looked like he needed his Highveld debut when he faded late over course & distance a couple of weeks ago; he should strip fitter for that outing. This once highly-rated Visionaire gelding drops in class and will likely benefit from blinkers being fitted for the first time. Look out for BOLD COAST as the obvious pace setter, an honest rival who was caught late by Chepardo last time at this track.
