Turffontein racecourse hosts a good card today, with the first race set to go off at 11:50am (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 5th September

Race 1 - CELTIC MANOR (1)

CELTIC MANOR stayed on when fourth over 1400m in the Non-Black Type Highveld Winter Juvenile Fillies Stakes last time. The daughter of Master Of My Fate returns from a 13-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. She is back in Maiden Company and with Gavin Lerena booked to ride from pole position, she is the horse to beat.

Race 2 - CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (1)

CLAIRWOOD BREEZE has shown good improvement in each of his outings to date. He challenged strongly over 2400m on the Vaal Classic course last time, but found one too good in the form of Epidaurus. He gets the blinkers fitted which should sharpen him up. The son of Futura may be the one to side with.

Race 3 - SWORD OF LIGHT (3)

SWORD OF LIGHT is the top bet on the programme. She produced a strong finish when second over 1600m on the Vaal Classic course last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to 1800m. If getting away on terms, she should take a power of beating in this line-up.

Race 4 - SECRET CHORD (4)

SECRET CHORD returned to winning ways over 1400m at the Vaal last time. He set the pace and kept finding to hold all challengers at bay. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. The 6yo gelding is in a good space and if confirming his recent improvement, he can follow up.

Race 6 - COSMIC SPEED (1)

COSMIC SPEED should have finished closer to the winner in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint last time as he was awkwardly placed at the 100m mark. The son of Querari won his only attempt on this course. He is the class horse in this contest and with luck in running, he should take a power of beating.

Verdict

Sword Of Light (Race 3) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Turffontein on Saturday.
