Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: WARRIOR OF ROYALTY (12)
Jockey: R Khathi – Trainer: N Kotzen
WARRIOR OF ROYALTY produced a promising debut effort over 1100m on this course. He understandably raced green, but moved up well and fought hard all the way to the line. The son of Pathfork found plenty of betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.
Race 2: SUPER FAST (6)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: A Rivalland
SUPER FAST got going too late when second over 1000m on this course last time. The son of Querari would have come on from the run and will love the step up to 1200m. Keagan de Melo retains the ride and the combination should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.

Race 4: SLEEK AS SILK (6)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: P Lafferty
SLEEK AS SILK was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this C&D, against stronger. The daughter of William Longsword was given a three-pound penalty for that victory. She takes a drop in class and in this line-up, she should notch up her third career victory.
Race 7: AFRICAN SKYLINE (6)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: G Puller
AFRICAN SKYLINE has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He was touched off in the Non-Black Type Marula Sprint last time. He finished 0.6 lengths behind BACK TO BLACK in his penultimate run. He is 5.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is having his peak run and should notch up his fourth career victory.

Race 5: AQUAE SULIS (9)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: D Howells
AQUAE SULIS was not disgraced when third in the Listed Michael Roberts Stakes last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She has won twice and finished third once from four starts over this distance. The 6yo mare is back against her own sex and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
