Kenilworth and Turffontein host good cards today, with the first race going off at Turffontein at 10:00am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing betting tips for today.
Turffontein Tips - Saturday 1st February
Race 2 - DUPONT EMERALD (8)
DUPONT EMERALD has produced two good runs to date. She ran on well over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Exceedingly Glam. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Querari is a progressive type and she should give the males a run for their money.
Race 4 - MAIN DEFENDER (1)
MAIN DEFENDER finished 0.25 lengths behind MELECH last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won three times and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The son of Pathfork is likely to race on the speed and can notch up his ninth-career victory.
Race 6 - QUID PRO QUO (2)
QUID PRO QUO was super-impressive when winning the Grade 2 Betway Dingaans last time. She quickened up well before getting geared down in the closing stages. The daughter of Lance has plenty of class about her. She is drawn wide in barrier 11, but Piere Strydom should give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle. She is having her first run for the new ownership and should take a power of beating.
Race 7 - FIRE ATTACK (1)
FIRE ATTACK ran on from last when 0.7 lengths behind GREATERIX last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Fire Away will love the rise to 1600m and from pole position, he may be the one to side with.
Race 9 - SALUTE THE FLAG (2)
SALUTE THE FLAG stayed on at the finish over 1600m on the Vaal Classic course last time. His penultimate run when second over 1600m on this course, was encouraging. The son of Flying The Flag won his only attempt over this C&D. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Kenilworth Tips - Saturday 1st February
Race 4 - SUGARBUSH (11)
SUGARBUSH produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. The daughter of Trippi was green in running but finished off her race nicely. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat in this line-up.
Race 5 - ELECTRIC FEELS (5)
ELECTRIC FEELS has good consistent form lines to her credit. She raced from just off the pace over 1000m last time, but found one too good in the form of King Viserys. She meets a similar line-up this afternoon and may be the one to side with.
Race 6 - THE ABDICATOR (3)
THE ABDICATOR showed good speed in his last start over this C&D, but found one too good in the form of Tenango. He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this C&D. The son of No Nay Never is having his first run for the Piet Steyn stable. Corne Orffer is booked to ride and he should be hard to peg back.
Race 7 - CALLMEGETRIX (4)
CALLMEGETRIX has good consistent form lines to her credit. She may have cost herself winning last time as she over raced in the early stages. She has won once and finished third twice from as many starts over this C&D. If JP van der Merwe is able to switch her off early, she can notch up her fourth-career victory.
Race 9 - SAINT BRIGID (4)
SAINT BRIGID is better than her last three starts. She returns from an 11-week break, which may have done her the world of good. She finished second in her only attempt over this C&D. The daughter of Master Of My Fate takes a drop in class and it would not be a surprise to see her in the winner’s enclosure.
Verdict
Quid Pro Quo (Race 6) is Magic Tips' best bet at Turffontein on Saturday. Over at Kenilworth, The Abdicator (Race 6) is the NAP of the day.
