Kenilworth and Turffontein host strong cards today, with the first race going off at Kenilworth at 11:00am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing betting tips for today.
Kenilworth Tips - Saturday 12th April
Race 1 - ASHIKULE (2)
ASHIKULE ran a good race on debut over 1000m on this course. He took time to find his feet but the manner in which he stayed on at the business end was encouraging. It must be noted that Military Command has come out and won again since. The son of Erupt is having his first run for Vaughan Marshall and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can go one better.
Race 5 - GOLD DUST (4)
GOLD DUST made the expected natural improvement when fourth over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. He over raced in the early stages of that race which did not help his chances. The son of Rafeef should be ideally suited to this distance and from his good draw of four, he may be the one to beat.
Race 7 - GARRIX (3)
GARRIX is a classy sort who was not disgraced when third in the Grade 1 SplashOut Cape Derby last time. The son of Vercingetorix has been gelded since that outing which may have done the trick. He should be ideally suited to the 1600m and with just 52.5kgs on his back, he can return to winning ways.
Race 8 - LA PULGA (7)
LA PULGA has good recent form lines to his credit. He cast a shoe in running when second in the Non- Black Type HSH Princess Charlene Big Cap last time. The son of Pomodoro has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He is a horse with ability and can notch up his third- career victory.
Race 9 - KAIBOY (7)
KAIBOY showed good speed over this C&D last time before getting outrun late by Symphony In White. His last victory came under Aldo Domeyer. The son of One World is a temperamental type and if all goes according to plan, he can notch up his fourth-career victory.
Turffontein Tips - Saturday 12th April
Race 1 - LITTLEMISSSPLENDID (1)
LITTLEMISSSPLENDID made the expected natural improvement when winning her last start over this C&D. She raced from just off the pace, quickened up well and drew off in the closing stages. The daughter of Act Of War is the only winner in this contest and she can follow up.
Race 2 - ARISTOTLE (1)
ARISTOTLE tried hard when second over 1600m on this course last time. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this distance. The son of Rafeef is the best-weighted runner in this contest and he should take a power of beating.
Race 3 - ARTIC SILVER (2)
ARTIC SILVER stayed on when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Querari has scope and will love the rise to 1800m. She jumps from a good draw of three and may be the one to side with.
Race 4 - CARNELO (6)
CARNELO set the pace over 1600m on the Inside course last time before getting outrun late. He finished 0.7 lengths behind OMBUDSMAN that day. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has placed twice from as many starts over this C&D. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
Race 7 - BUFFALO STORM CODY (2)
BUFFALO STORM CODY was super-impressive when winning his last start over 1200m on the Inside course. The gelding did the trick on the son of Buffalo Bill Cody. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and he should be the one to beat once again. He is carded to race on 09 April 2025 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Verdict
Garrix (Race 7) is Magic Tips' best bet at Kenilworth on Saturday. Over at Turffontein, Aristotle (Race 2) is the NAP of the day.
