Turffontein racecourse hosts a good card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:10am (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 3rd October


Race 1 - RAZZPATH REBEL (6)


RAZZPATH REBEL has only had two runs to date and showed plenty of toe when finishing third last time out over 1200m, one and a half-lengths behind the winner. He should build on that effort and looks to be the one to side with here.

Race 4 - BEST CANDIDATE (4)


BEST CANDIDATE has won three of his last four starts and goes for a hat-trick after victories over 2000m, the latest by 1.5L. He drops in trip here, but he did finish second in his only attempt over this C&D, so this should not be an issue.

Race 5 - ONE STATE (1)


ONE STATE has his hat-trick run after winning his maiden race over 1700m two runs back then following up with a victory over this C&D by 1.4L. The gelding went from jump to wire that day and from a wideish draw seven, he is likely to attempt similar frontrunning tactics today.

Race 8 - BISOU BISOU (3)


BISOU BISOU produced a good third place finish in his last start and it is encouraging that Craig Zackey has kept faith in the ride.

Race 9 - LITTLE BOY BLUE (4)


LITTLE BOY BLUE had his consistency rewarded with a 2L victory over 1200m. The gelding struck the front at the 300m and was eased down coming up to the line. On that effort, he could follow up here.

Verdict

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