WSB’s Top Tips
Race 3 – Munchkin
Trainer: G D Smith | Jockey: C Zackey
Analysis: Didn’t enjoy the clearest passage last time out. Now back over a preferred trip and should be more competitive. A strong contender in a hot handicap.
Race 5 – Luna Halo
Trainer: A C Greeff | Jockey: R Fourie
Analysis: Came from a long way back last time and stayed on nicely. More favourably placed today and should be right in the mix.
Race 7 – Hot Sauce
Trainer: A C Greeff | Jockey: R Fourie
Analysis: Scored an eye-catching debut victory and the form has already been franked. Looks primed to double up.
Race 8 – My Best Shot
Trainer: A C Greeff | Jockey: R Fourie
Analysis: High-class operator in this region. If he sees out the trip, he’ll be hard to peg back.
