WSB Best Bets:
Race 2 Zip Code
D Nieuwenhuizen / S Khumalo
Stayed on well to win his maiden last time over 1400m. With expected improvement over the 1600m, he has a big chance to follow up today..
Race 5 The Africa House
S G Tarry / G Lerena
Has form against the best runners in JHB, including last time when he finished 3rd, beaten 3 lengths behind the talented Barbaresco after a short break. Might go close if stripping fitter today.
Race 6 Dreamland
M N Houdalakis / R Fourie
In spectacular form, having completed a hat-trick of wins last time. Up in the weights, but it pays to follow an in-form sprinter.
