Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 2: GLOBAL THUNDER (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Lensley
GLOBAL THUNDER produced a decent debut effort over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. The daughter of Global View was reported to be fatigued post-race. She would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the horse to beat under Gavin Lerena.
Race 4: ELUSIVE JUSTICE (5)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: J A Janse van Rensburg
ELUSIVE JUSTICE ran a decent race on debut over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He lost a length leaving the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. The well- bred son of Elusive Fort would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat in this line-up.

Race 5: JET DYNASTY (9)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: S Tarry
JET DYNASTY showed massive improvement when second in his last start over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course. He was slow into stride, but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. Keagan de Melo takes the ride and he should take a power of beating.
Race 9: TEXAS RED (7)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: A Fortune
TEXAS RED won a good race in his last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He has won three times and finished third three times from as many starts over this distance. The son of The United States returns to Handicap Company and with just 54kgs on his back, he can follow up.

Race 6: TIPSY TARRAGON (4)
Jockey: D Dillon – Trainer: W Whitehead
TIPSY TARRAGON was her own worst enemy in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas last time as she overraced in the early stages and was awkward around the turn. The daughter of Dynasty will enjoy the drop to 1450m and the fitting of the pacifiers may do the trick. Denis Schwarz retains the ride and from draw three, she can return to winning ways.
