WSB BEST BETS
Race 1: Sakurajima
- Trainer: K. Mitchley
- Jockey: S. Khumalo
Making his local debut today. His form from the Highveld is good enough to win this or at least go very close. Well drawn also.
Race 4: Arabian Red
- Trainer: A. C. Greeff
- Jockey: R. Fourie
Won her maiden pretty easily last time out, and she isn’t set the hardest task to follow up on her handicap debut. Chance.
Race 7: Three Rocks
- Trainer: A. C. Greeff
- Jockey: R. Fourie
Classy type, who is unbeaten over this course and distance. Won’t be far away!
