Turffontein racecourse hosts a good card today, with the first race set to go off at 9:55am (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 31st October

Race 2 - MISS BARBADOS (13)

MISS BARBADOS produced an encouraging debut effort when fourth over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. She raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Chimichuri Run would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.

Race 4 - FLOWER ISLAND (2)

FLOWER ISLAND is the top bet on the programme. She was given a peach of a ride when winning the Grade 2 Betway Joburg Spring F & M Challenge last time. The daughter of Rafeef would have come on from the outing. She should get a good run in transit from pole position and is the horse to beat.

Race 5 - BISOU BISOU (3)

BISOU BISOU‘S last three starts have been good. He finished 0.25 lengths behind TIME IS PRECIOUS last time and is 2kgs better off at the weights. He finished 0.55 lengths behind GIMME A FIREBALL in his penultimate outing and is 7kgs better off. He finished 1.1 lengths behind FISH TALES three runs ago and is 2kgs better off at the weights. The son of Querari jumps from an ideal draw of four and with Craig Zackey retaining the ride, he can return to winning ways.

Race 6 - SCARLET O’HARA (9)

SCARLET O’HARA may not have seen out the 2200m last time. She has won three times and finished second once from as many starts over this distance. The daughter of Red Ray is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from her wide draw and if there is a decent pace, she will be finishing strongly.

Race 8 - CURIOUS GIRL (5)

CURIOUS GIRL should have finished closer to the winner in the Non-Black Type Michaelmas Handicap last time as she hung inwards in the closing stages. The daughter of Futura is unbeaten from two starts on this course. She will strip a much fitter horse and from pole position, she can return to winning ways.

Verdict

Flower Island (Race 4) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Turffontein on Saturday.
