WSB Horses to Watch – Saturday’s Best Bets
Race 1 – Winds Of Grace
Trainer: Mike Azzie | Jockey: Trent Mayhew
A beaten favourite last time but excuses apply. She’s well drawn in gate 1 and returns to a course and distance where she has finished runner-up twice. Worth another chance.
Race 3 – Green Machine
Trainer: Mike & Mathew De Kock | Jockey: Callan Murray
A well-bred three-year-old from a powerful yard, likely to improve further over this trip. Should be competitive.
Race 5 – Matcha Mint
Trainer: Paul Matchett | Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Delivered a dominant maiden win over this course and distance on seasonal debut. That form has been franked, and she looks ready to follow up.
Race 6 – Cocomelon
Trainer: Sean Tarry | Jockey: Craig Zackey
Strips fitter after her seasonal return and should appreciate this step up in trip. One to keep onside.
Race 8 – Pennsylvania
Trainer: A P Peter | Jockey: Calvin Habib
A repeat of his last-start second at a higher level over this same course and distance would make him the one to beat.
