Magic Tips’ Top Picks:
TOP BET
Race 4: ANCIENT SPIRIT(1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: Janse Van Vuuren
ANCIENT SPIRIT has faced some challenges but remains promising. This lightly raced import is still on an upward trajectory. Although she came second last time behind the excellent Ouro, she’s expected to improve further. With Gavin Lerena aboard, her trainer is clearly confident she’ll be sharp and ready to shine. Note, the Mike de Kock stable has two unraced three-year-old fillies, with NAWAASI getting preferred rides.
Race 5: THAT’S LIFE(2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: Janse Van Vuuren
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: Janse Van Vuuren
THAT’S LIFE caught the eye recently finishing second to the impressive Sirtain over this course and distance. There’s room for improvement and the Var colt certainly has what it takes to go one better today. Encouragingly, the third-placed Dan’s Empire performed well in a strong field next time out.
Race 7: PAREE(3)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: T Zackey
PAREE thrives at this course and distance, and her form got a nice boost when the third-placed Teenage Dream won her next race. Promising maiden SCHIPPERS defeated two subsequent winners on her latest outing and she’s got plenty of room to improve, especially stretching out over the extra furlong.
Race 8: OH MY DARLING(7)
Jockey: A Delpech – Trainer: M De Kock
The injury-hit OH MY DARLING showed plenty of promise in her recent, much improved seven-furlong run here three weeks ago. She’ll benefit from stepping up in trip and looks set to perform well.
Value Each-Way Pick of the Day:
Race 6: BAAHIR(8)
Jockey: K Zechner – Trainer: D Sham
Jockey: K Zechner – Trainer: D Sham
The five-furlong handicap features plenty of speedsters who may tire in the likely fast early pace. Consistent and adaptable BAAHIR is well suited to the trip and offers solid each-way value.
