WSB Best Bets – Horses to Follow
After analysing recent form, draw positions and Polytrack suitability, here are World Sports Betting’s standout selections for Wednesday’s meeting:
🏇 Race 1 – Skipper O’Malley
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Trainer: Wendy Whitehead
Ran a solid race over course and distance two starts ago and is well drawn to feature prominently. Should be right in the mix in the opener.
🏇 Race 2 – Imposing
Jockey: S’Manga Khumalo
Trainer: Gareth Van Zyl
A proven winner on turf and a real win machine of late. If he handles the switch to the Polytrack, he could be heading straight back to the winner’s enclosure.
🏇 Race 3 – Care Forgot
Jockey: Mickaelle Michel
Trainer: Sean Tarry
The Johannesburg raider finished strongly to run fifth in a competitive contest 2 runs ago. Well drawn on her Polytrack debut and must be taken seriously.
🏇 Race 4 – Green Mile
Jockey: Keagan De Melo
Trainer: Andre Nel
Was in good form before a short break and returns as a previous course-and-distance winner. A leading contender if fit on his return.
🏇 Race 5 – Mystic Dancer
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Trainer: Robbie Hill
Has been in sparkling form and clearly enjoys the Polytrack. Still lightly raced and possesses the pace to win again.
🏇 Race 6 – Clever Trevor
Jockey: Callan Murray
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Improved significantly to win last time out on his second run after being gelded. Well drawn on Polytrack debut and expected to improve further.
🏇 Race 7 – Dawn Surprise
Jockey: Rachel Venniker
Trainer: Gary Rich
Back on the Polytrack, where she has previously shown promise. Only beaten a nose in her last run on this surface and looks primed to go close.
