Durbanville racecourse hosts a decent card today, with the first race going off at 12:07pm (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing best bets for today.

Durbanville Tips - Wednesday 23rd September

Race 1 - CAPTAIN’S ELECT (1)

CAPTAIN’S ELECT made the expected natural improvement when second over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. She showed speed but found one too good in the form of Red Flag. The daughter of Vercingetorix should get a good run in transit from pole position and she can go one better.

Race 3 - TIME OF OUR LIVES (11)

TIME OF OUR LIVES has finished second in both his efforts to date. He raced from a handy position over 1400m last time and stayed on at the finish. He was beaten a head on debut over this distance. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, he can shed his maiden tag.

Race 4 - CARDINAL KING (8)

CARDINAL KING produced a promising debut effort over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He lost a length leaving the start, but finished off his race strongly. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of What A Winter will love the extra distance on offer and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.

Race 6 - BENEATH THE CLOUDS (8)

BENEATH THE CLOUDS made the trip to the Eastern Cape to contest in the Listed Jockey Club Stakes last time. She won her penultimate outing over 1500m. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber enjoys racing in the wet and with luck in running, she may be the one to side with.

Race 7 - CAPTAINS ALLIANCE (4)

CAPTAINS ALLIANCE finished 1.75 lengths behind DIAMOND ROCK last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around. He finished 0.5 lengths behind BOURBON KING in his penultimate effort. He is 2kgs better off at the weights and should turn the tables. From his good draw of four, he may be rewarded for consistency.

Verdict

Captain's Elect (Race 1) is Magic Tips' best bet at Durbanville on Wednesday.
