WSB Best Bets – Horses to Watch

Race 2 – Paris Fun (A P Peter / C Habib)

Scored her maiden over this course and distance. With further improvement expected on her reappearance, she could follow up on her 3yo debut.

Race 3 – Open Highway (F Bronkhorst / G Lerena)

Arrives in strong form after finishing a close second over 1600m. Carries a penalty for a previous win at this trip but remains a big contender.

Race 4 – Mattiazo (D Nieuwenhuizen / C Zackey)

Got off the mark over this distance last time. With her stable in good form, another bold effort looks likely.

Race 7 – Step Into It (M De Kock / C Zackey)

Built on his promising debut fourth over 1600m by winning over the same trip. This extended 2000m assignment should bring even more improvement.
