WSB Top Selections
🏇 Race 2 – Boardwalk Breeze
Trainer: P V Lafferty / Jockey: C Habib
Backed by two strong recent efforts, this colt has shown solid early speed and could thrive dropping back to 1000m.
🏇 Race 4 – Rooster Bradshaw
Trainer: D C Howells / Jockey: K Matsunyane
In good form on both turf and polytrack. Comes off a convincing win and has every chance of following up in similar company.
🏇 Race 5 – Terminator
Trainer: W A Nel / Jockey: S Moodley
A proven course and distance winner with a frontrunning style. While the draw isn’t ideal, his recent turf performances suggest he’ll be a major player again.
🏇 Race 7 – Riverstone
Trainer: G Van Zyl (Jnr) / Jockey: N Patel
Caught the eye when not far off the winner at long odds. A big run is expected, and this could be the day he gets rewarded.
