Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 3: SUCHA CHARMER (10)
Jockey: Muzi Yeni Trainer: Lucky Houdalakis
SUCHA CHARMER may have struggled over the longer mile-and-a-half on yielding ground recently, but he’s a different beast at today’s distance. His penultimate run on this track and trip was his career-best, finishing runner-up. Plus, the horse that came fourth in that race, Before Noon, has gone on to win subsequently, boosting the form’s credibility.
Race 4: GENEROSO (3)
Jockey: Piere Strydom Trainer: Romeo Francis
Though GENEROSO is still a maiden struggling for wins, she showed good form over the marathon distance last month at Turffontein, finishing just over two lengths behind the strong favourite MA AMOUR. With an in-form jockey and possible front-running tactics today, she’s primed to shake things up and could upset the short-priced favourite. Keep an eye on her recent form trend which is definitely worth noting.
Race 5: ODD ROB (8)
Jockey: Marco V/Rensburg Trainer: Gary Alexander
ODD ROB has shown a marked improvement in recent races over shorter distances but is back to his preferred trip today. Despite what the ratings suggest, he’s in fine form and ready to prove himself a strong contender. SMART MART, a proven stayer, showed his mettle by finishing second recently over the same distance, so expect a competitive contest.
TOP BET
Race 6: RAYDAVERIC (4)
Jockey: Randall Simons Trainer: Alec Laird
RAYDAVERIC looks ready to secure his next victory. Though his recent form has been a bit iffy, he was incredibly unlucky not to win his last outing on this course in November. Maintaining his good form, he’s expected to love the solid gallop conditions today. Keep him on your radar for a strong finish.
Value Bet (Each Way) for Today
Race 2: TRUTH OF BEAUTY (1)
Jockey: Marco V/Rensburg Trainer: Geoff Woodruff
TRUTH OF BEAUTY has had several opportunities to shine, and with a strong affinity for this track paired with an in-form jockey and a favourable draw, she could cause a surprise upset. WORDS, who has shown fair form in her runs, also deserves attention especially with her improved draw and recent experience against tougher competitors.
