🔥 Top WSB Selections 🔥
📌 Race 1: Wild Wild Green
Trainer: J S Snaith / Jockey: G Lerena
💬 Analysis: An exciting unbeaten filly who has won both her races on soft ground, making these conditions ideal. Receives a handy 2.5kg from the boys, making her tough to beat.
📌 Race 2: Regulation
Trainer: J S Snaith / Jockey: J P V’D Merwe
💬 Analysis: Stepping down in class after a solid effort against stronger opposition last time out. Well placed to return to winning ways today.
📌 Race 6: Roccapina
Trainer: C Bass-Robinson / Jockey: J P V’D Merwe
💬 Analysis: Built on her impressive 2nd in a Grade 2 over 1200m with a strong staying-on 3rd in a Grade 1 Majorca Stakes over 1600m. A repeat of either run puts her right in contention. However, WSB-owned Mia Moo lines up here, and along with of our partners, we’re hoping for another massive performance. Can she defy the odds and land the big one?
📌 Race 7: Eight On Eighteen
Trainer: J S Snaith / Jockey: R Fourie
💬 Analysis: The superstar winner of the World Sports Betting Cape Town Met, Eight On Eighteen is a short-priced favourite but with good reason. On paper, this looks like a formality, and another Grade 1 title awaits.
📌 Race 9: Alltheboysiveloved
Trainer: L V Woodruff / Jockey: G Lerena
💬 Analysis: Took a big step forward when tackling this distance for the first time last out. A 5-point penalty for that course-and-distance win shouldn’t be enough to stop her momentum.
