Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: ESSTOORA(5)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe – Trainer: S Tarry
Race 2: ESSTOORA(5)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe – Trainer: S Tarry
ESSTOORA experienced an unexpected dip in the betting market but showed promise on debut in a strong field over this course and distance a week ago. With this in-form team backing her, she’s expected to progress nicely today.
Race 3: WHORLY WHORLY(2)
Jockey: C Murray – Trainer: C Binda
Jockey: C Murray – Trainer: C Binda
The talented three-year-old WHORLY WHORLY has improved throughout this campaign and gave a notable recent performance over this trip despite a mid-race dip in form. His experienced trainer has quickly fitted blinkers, which should make a big difference. Against expected fast pace, he’s likely to close strongly and challenge his rivals late.
TOP BET
Race 5: ZOUAVES(7)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg – Trainer: G Woodruff
TOP BET
Race 5: ZOUAVES(7)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg – Trainer: G Woodruff
ZOUAVES is evidently better than his recent disappointing run over a mile, which can be excused. The versatile runner from the Woodruff stable should rebound confidently today. His impressive performance behind the promising Naafer three races ago remains a highlight in his form.
Race 7: AWFAA(9)
Jockey: R Simons – Trainer: M De Kock
The three-year-old AWFAA showcased a brilliant maiden win over this trip in only her second race and, as a daughter of Silvano, she seems to be a highly promising talent. Early indications suggest she is well ahead of the handicapper’s assessment, and today’s significant step up in class will be telling.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 8: SILVER DUCHESS(7)
Jockey: C Murray – Trainer: T Lowe
SILVER DUCHESS put in an encouraging comeback sprint in mixed company, and this bay mare will welcome the stretch out to a mile. She could represent good each-way value in this open and competitive final race.
