Turffontein racecourse hosts a strong card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:20am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections for today.
Turffontein Tips - Saturday 27th July
Race 3 - AUTUMN VAR (3)
AUTUMN VAR showed some improvement when fourth over this C&D last time. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she hung in the final 300m. The daughter of Var is a progressive type and if keeping on a straight line, she should be involved at the finish.
Race 5 - CHYAVANA (1)
Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren holds a strong hand in this contest and he can saddle the first three past the post. CHYAVANA has good consistent form lines to his credit. He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from nine starts on this course. He is having his peak run today and with stable jockey Gavin Lerena doing duty, he should notch up his seventh-career victory.
Race 6 - LOVEGRASS (4)
LOVEGRASS showed good speed when winning her last start over this C&D. The pacifiers have done the trick on the daughter of Gimmethegreenlight. She is a filly with ability and has plenty of scope. She should follow up with another victory.
Race 7 - TIME FO ORCHIDS (1)
TIME FO ORCHIDS ran a creditable race when fourth in the Grade 1 SA Fillies Sprint last time. She has won twice and finished second once from four starts on this course. The daughter of Time Thief is the class horse in this contest and she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 8 - MAIN DEFENDER (1)
MAIN DEFENDER is better than his last start in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge. The son of Pathfork is unbeaten from three starts over this C&D. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and if putting his best foot forward, he should be the one to beat.
Verdict
Time Fo Orchids (Race 7) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Turffontein on Saturday.
