- We bring you Magic Tips's best betting tips at Greyville on Wednesday 1st January
- Flying Hafla and Future Flo are tipped to win
Greyville racecourse rings in the New Year in good style today, with the first race set to go off at 10:45am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing tips for today.
Greyville Tips - Wednesday 1st January
Race 2 - FLYING HAFLA (6)
FLYING HAFLA set the pace over 1900m on this course last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Pull A Fast One. The drop to 1600m is no concern. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Race 3 - ETHEREAL VIEW (3)
ETHEREAL VIEW ran a good race when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. It must be noted that Safe And Sound has come out and won since. She has won on this course previously. If jumping on terms, she may be the one to beat.
Race 4 - BOB (2)
BOB stayed on at the finish when sixth over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. The son of William Longsword should have no issues with the rise to 1800m. He takes a drop in class and from his good draw of two, he may be the one to cause the upset.
Race 5 - ROAMING SPIRIT (8)
ROAMING SPIRIT is lightly raced with good form lines to her credit. She stayed on when third in a strong field over 1160m at Turffontein last time. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1400m. If not too green on her course debut, she should be the one to beat.
Race 7 - FUTURE FLO (1)
FUTURE FLO has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He cost himself winning last time as he hung in the closing stages. He finished 2.2 lengths behind ANDY COOGLE in his penultimate run. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. If keeping on a straight line, he may be the one to beat.
Verdict
Flying Hafla (Race 2) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Greyville on New Year's Day
