WSB Best Bets:
Race 3 –Wild At War
C Dawson / P Mxoli
Disappointed when bet into favourite last time. Beforehand he had looked like an improver and has a chance to redeem himself today.
Race 5 Deception Pass
M Azzie / M Yeni
Getting closer to victory with each race, following a narrow second-place finish by just half a length last time out. He was late to get going that day, so the extra 200 meters today should be perfect for him.
Race 7 Celestial City
S G Tarry / K Matsunyane
He likely ran the race of his life last time, finishing second in a listed race at Greyville. This should be his peak fitness run, and the drop back in trip today shouldn’t pose a problem.
Race 10 Duke Of Rock
F P Habib / D Schwarz
An in-form runner from a yard known for plotting winners, he came close when last seen at the Vaal. With a previous win here and a favourable record, he appears to be the right choice in a challenging getting-out stakes race.
