WSB BEST BETS
Race 2 Arabian Red
A C Greeff / R Fourie
Not beaten far on local debut, and today’s longer trip should suit. With Richard Fourie taking the ride, there’s a good chance of a strong performance.
Race 6 Woman’s World
K Mitchley / K A Brewer
Has been in fine form, winning the Derby Plate over 2000m and backing it up with a second-place finish over 2400m in the East Cape Derby. Chance again today.
Race 8 My Best Shot
A C Greeff / R Fourie
Followed up his maiden win with a solid performance on the poly last time. Should relish the return to grass and is the clear pick here.
