WSB BEST BETS
Race 1: Fredericos Passion
- Trainer: T J Laing
- Jockey: C Maujean
- Not beaten far on debut when finishing 2nd, a run that has already been franked and produced a winner. With expected improvement, he will be hard to beat.
Race 4: King Of Queen
- Trainer: G D Smith
- Jockey: C Zackey
- In brilliant form, but after 5 second-place finishes in a row, we feel today could be his day!
Race 5: Juan Carlos
- Trainer: T J Laing
- Jockey: C Maujean
- Well-bred Frankel 6-year-old who stayed on well to win over course and distance. Landed a punt last time and can follow up.
Footnote
The World Sports Betting-owned SCAMPTON runs in Race 6 over 1600m. Sharon Kotzen says he’s well and in form and can go close.
