Turffontein racecourse hosts a good card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:30am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections for today.

Turffontein Tips - Thursday 16th July

Race 2 - ME AND YOU (3)

ME AND YOU showed good improvement when second over this C&D last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was eye-catching. The daughter of Querari is a progressive type and can go one better.

Race 3 - JIMMY VEGA (3)

JIMMY VEGA ran a good race when second over 1400m on the Standside course last time. He received a bump leaving the start but stayed on nicely at the finish. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The blinkers and tongue-tie seem to have done the trick. With a bit of luck in running, he can go one better.

Race 5 - LADY SABRINA (8)

LADY SABRINA finished 2.1 lengths behind KENSAL GREEN last time. She is 6.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The daughter of Erupt won her only attempt over this C&D. She is likely to be settled near the rear of the field, will be running on and can win.

Race 7 - LOST FOR WORDS (2)

LOST FOR WORDS showed a good turn of foot when winning her last start over 1160m on the Standside course. She received an eight-pound penalty for that victory. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is having her peak run. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can notch up her fourth-career victory.

Race 8 - TRIP OF FAITH (2)

TRIP OF FAITH ran a good race when third over this C&D last time. She takes a drop in class and is back against her own sex. If Muzi Yeni can get her to settle early, she should be the one to beat.

Verdict

Lost For Words (Race 7) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Turffontein on Thursday.
