Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 4: SUPER FAST (2)
Jockey: M Katjedi – Trainer: A Rivalland
SUPER FAST has shown good improvement in each of his outings to date. He got going too late when second over 1000m last time. The son of Querari will be at home over the 1400m and can go one better. He is carded to race on 19 February 2023 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 5: ARVERNI KING (3)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: P Muscutt
ARVERNI KING has good consistent form lines to his credit. He received a bump at the 900m mark last time and was carried outwards. He has finished second once and third twice from as many starts on this course. The son of Vercingetorix steps up to the 1750m and from his good draw of three, he may be rewarded for consistency.
Race 6: EL REY VIENE (10)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: D Howells
EL REY VIENE won a very good race in his last start over this C&D. He raced from a handy position, quickened up well and won with a ton in hand. The son of William Longsword received a six-pound penalty for that victory. He looks to have ability and with a bit of luck from his wide draw of ten, he should notch up his third career victory.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: CAPTAIN FONTANE (3)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: G Puller
CAPTAIN FONTANE got up where it matters most when winning the Non-Black Type Marula Sprint last time. The son of Captain Al received a three-pound penalty for that victory. He should have no issues with the step up to 1500m. He has found his best form and from his good draw of three, should notch up his sixth career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: VICTORY BELLE (4)
Jockey: A Arries – Trainer: G Kotzen
VICTORY BELLE followed up her maiden victory with a fair fifth-place finish over 1000m on the polytrack. She lost a length at the start, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. The daughter of Rafeef takes a drop in class and will strip much fitter. If jumping on terms, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
