Sunday’s Feature Race

R200 000 Fever Tree Stakes

A competitive contest that should reward tactical riding and a well-timed finish, particularly given Scottsville’s long straight and anticipated testing conditions. Expect positioning to matter — but finishing strength to decide the outcome.

Understanding Scottsville’s layout is crucial when assessing Sunday’s betting card.

Draw & Track Bias

Lower draws are generally advantageous, particularly over 1600m where early positioning can prove decisive. Scottsville tends to favour horses with balance, rhythm and a sustained finishing effort rather than those reliant solely on early pace.

WSB Top Selections – Horses to Watch

After assessing form, conditions and historical track trends, here are World Sports Betting’s standout runners for Sunday:

Race 1 – Best Of All

Jockey: S’Manga Khumalo
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl

Caught the eye on debut when finishing runner-up at this venue after attracting betting support. Natural improvement makes him a strong contender to go one better.

Race 3 – Day Two

Jockey: S’Manga Khumalo
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl

Gallant in defeat when stepping up to a marathon trip last time. Dropping back into a more suitable scenario could see him open his account.

Race 4 – Curious Girl

Jockey: Sean Veale
Trainer: Mike de Kock

Two wins from four starts and looks well placed again. She shapes as though this distance range will suit perfectly and remains progressive.

Race 7 – Sword Speed

Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Trainer: Alyson Wright

Has done little wrong in two starts to date and should relish maintaining this trip. Profile suggests further improvement to come.

Race 9 – Numzaan

Jockey: Serino Moodley
Trainer: Frikkie Greyling

Representing WSB in the orange silks, he disappointed last time but boasts a perfect one-from-one record at this track. A favourable draw enhances each-way claims.
