🔥 Top WSB Selections 🔥
📌 Race 2: Maine Chance Majorca Stakes (1600m)
Double Grand Slam
🏇 Trainer: J S Snaith | Jockey: R Fourie
💬 WSB Comment: A commanding winner of the Grade 1 Paddock Stakes over 1800m last time. Dropping back to 1600m should suit perfectly, making her the banker of the day.
📌 Race 3: Tsogo Sun Summer Fling (2000m)
Rainbow Lorikeet
🏇 Trainer: C Bass-Robinson | Jockey: Aldo Domeyer
💬 WSB Comment: Stayed on strongly for 4th against tougher opposition last time. The step up in trip should bring out the best in her.
📌 Race 4: New Turf Carriers Western Cape Stayers (2800m)
Triple Time
🏇 Trainer: J S Snaith | Jockey: R Fourie
💬 WSB Comment: Narrowly beaten in this race last year. After a solid effort against top-class rivals over 1800m recently, he looks primed for a big performance.
📌 Race 7: HKJC World Pool Cape Flying Championship (1000m)
Gimme A Prince
🏇 Trainer: D Kannemeyer | Jockey: C Zackey
💬 WSB Comment: The 2023 winner of this race, now making waves over longer trips. Expect a late surge from this classy contender.

📌 Race 8: The World Sports Betting Cape Town Met (2000m)
Eight On Eighteen
🏇 Trainer: J S Snaith | Jockey: R Fourie
💬 WSB Comment: This 3YO star is well-weighted at 54kg and comes off a strong second to One Stripe, who recently won the Grade 1 King’s Plate. If he stays the trip, he’s a major threat.
📌 Race 9: City of Cape Town Politician Stakes (1800m)
Major Master
🏇 Trainer: C Bass-Robinson | Jockey: S Veale
💬 WSB Comment: In excellent form and looks suited to this distance. A solid each-way prospect.
