WSB Best Bets
Race 2 Mauritius Kestrel
B Crawford / L Mxothwa
MAURITIUS KESTREL, with potential for further improvement over this longer distance, looks poised to secure his first win today.
Race 6 Enemy Territory
B Crawford / G Wright
Our pick, after 3 wins, faces tough competition but holds the highest rating among her 9 rivals. With a drop back to 1400m, she could offer value at each-way odds despite challenges from Kyalami Girl and Summer Lily.
Race 7 Rascallion
V H Marshall / B R Fayd’Herbe
RASCALLION, bounced back to form when finishing second in the World Sports Betting Grade 1 Cape Town Met. With blinkers back on, a replication of this performance would make him hard to beat today.
