Today's intended meeting at Turffontein has been moved to Vaal racecourse, with the first race set to go off at 10:10am (UK Time). To help you try and find a few winners, here are Magic Tips' South African Horse Racing selections this morning.
Vaal Races Tips - Monday 6th January
Race 3 - ROAMING SPIRIT (5)
ROAMING SPIRIT has produced four good runs to date. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in her last outing has come out and won since. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1600m. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Race 4 - SPIRITO SELVAGGI (2)
SPIRITO SELVAGGIO ran a good race when second in his last start over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course. He will love the rise to 1600m and should strip much fitter. Ryan Munger does duty and he may be the one to beat.
Race 5 - ZEUS (1)
ZEUS was not disgraced in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won three times and finished third twice from six starts over this C&D. Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle and he is the horse to beat.
Race 6 - TEXAS RED (1)
TEXAS RED stayed on at the finish over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Main Defender. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Kabelo Matsunyane is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him where it matters most.
Race 8 - GREATERIX (3)
GREATERIX went way too fast up front in the Grade 2 Betway Dingaans last time and understandably did not go on with the effort. The son of Vercingetorix should be ideally suited to this distance and it is encouraging that Piere Strydom is booked to ride. He is a horse loaded with class and should be the one to beat.
Verdict
Texas Red (Race 6) is Magic Tips' best bet of the day at Vaal on Monday.
