Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: MERCURIAL JET (4)
Race 2: DOUGLAS DEVASTATOR (1)
Race 6: HAZY CRAZY NIGHT (2)
Race 7: MHLABENI (5)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: MINSTREL GALLERY (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: G Smith
MINSTREL GALLERY has finished second in her three outings since arriving in the Eastern Cape. She set the pace over 2000m last time, but found one too good in the form of Lady Writer. She is likely to adopt the same tactics from the widest draw of 11 and may be hard to peg back.
Race 3: YGRITTE (1)
Jockey: L Mxhothwa– Trainer: W Miller
YGRITTE has not finished too far off the winner in her Cape Town form. It must be noted that the form of her last outing has been franked. She is having her first run for the Cliffie Miller stable. If settled into her new surroundings, she should win a race of this nature under Luyolo Mxothwa.
Top Bet For Today
Race 6: DOUBLE DESTINY (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: A Greeff
DOUBLE DESTINY has decent recent form lines to her credit. She was slow into stride over 1400m on this course last time and rallied late to finish third. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from eight starts on this course. The manner in which she has been finishing off her races suggests that she will enjoy the rise to the mile. She is the best weighted runner and should return to winning ways.
Race 7: MHLABENI (5)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: D McKenzie
MHLABENI has top consistent form lines to his credit. He raced from a handy position over this distance on the Polytrack last time, but found one too good in the form of Tarantino who has come out and won again since. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from five starts over this C&D. He is likely to race on the speed and should notch up his sixth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: IRISH RAIN (2)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: W Miller
IRISH RAIN over raced in his last start over 2000m, but stayed on to finish fourth. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He drops back to the mile and Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off his back. If she is able to switch him off early, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
