Top WSB Selections
📌 Race 3: The Africa House
🏇 Trainer: S G Tarry | Jockey: G Lerena
🔎 Hasn’t won for a while, but his best runs have come over this course and distance. Talented but inconsistent—capable of causing an upset.
📌 Race 5: Minogue
🏇 Trainer: C Dawson | Jockey: R Fourie
🔎 The stable is in fine form, and Minogue ran a cracker last time over a trip short of her best. That run will have her primed for a big performance today.
📌 Race 6: Vj S Angel
🏇 Trainer: A P Peter | Jockey: G Lerena
🔎 Stayed on well behind Spumante Dolce in the Guineas. We think she can turn the tables on the favourite and land a big win.
📌 Race 7: Legend Of Arthur
🏇 Trainer: S G Tarry | Jockey: P Strydom
🔎 Finished strongly in the Graham Beck Stakes over 1400m. Looked like he needed the run in the Guineas and stayed on late that day. Should be even better over today’s 1800m trip—an each-way chance.
📌 Race 8: Main Defender
🏇 Trainer: A P Peter | Jockey: G Lerena
🔎 A classy performer who is well-weighted and the one to beat. Looks set to win another Grade 1 and reaffirm his dominance.
