WSB Hot Horses to Watch – Best Bets

Race 5 – Yippee Kiyay

Jockey: Callan Murray
Trainer: Mike Mathew De Kock

Yippee Kiyay made a strong impression on his seasonal and 3-year-old return, showing good improvement after being gelded. The slight rise in ratings shouldn’t hold him back, and he looks capable of following up with another big performance.

Race 6 – Palace Attack

Jockey: Calvin Habib
Trainer: Alec Laird

Palace Attack continues to progress with each outing, and the extra distance looks set to bring out even more from him. He’s moving in the right direction, and punters may find value in sticking with a horse clearly on the upgrade.

Race 7 – Gimmethegoodlife

Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Trainer: Tony Peter

Gimmethegoodlife has thrived since joining the Peter stable, delivering consistent efforts and improving steadily. Although he now competes off his highest career rating, his recent form suggests he remains very competitive in this company.

Race 8 – Bumps Last Grind

Jockey: Savanna Valjalo (4kg claimer)
Trainer: Fanie Bronkhorst

Bumps Last Grind wasn’t at his best last time, but there were valid reasons for that below-par run. His earlier efforts were far more reliable, and with the benefit of a handy 4kg claim and a drop in class, he has every chance to bounce back.
