🔥 WSB Hot Horses to Watch – Best Bets
Race 3 – African Pride
Kabelo Matsunyane | Corne Spies
Has thrived since the addition of headgear, winning both 3YO appearances in fine style. Still improving and looks well-handicapped under bottom weight. Top win bet to complete the hat-trick.
Race 4 – Stormy Day
Gavin Lerena | J A Janse van Vuuren
Returned from a break with a strong win over 1200m. The extra ground suits perfectly and she’s expected to build on that comeback. Strong contender to follow up.
Race 5 – Trust
Serino Moodley | Candice Dawson
Finished strongly to score over 1200m last time. Will relish this extended trip and should continue progressing. Each-way value at current odds.
Race 6 – World Of Alice
Craig Zackey | Sean Tarry
Made a winning return over a shorter distance and should strip much fitter now. Steps up in trip and looks primed to deliver another polished performance. Solid win chance.
Race 7 – Atticus Finch
Calvin Habib | Alec Laird
Blinkers made a huge difference last time when second in a Grade 2 over 1450m. Drawn in gate 1 and sure to be competitive again. Hard to keep out the frame.
Race 9 – Perfect Miracle
Serino Moodley | Tony Peter
Won her course-and-distance debut impressively and wasn’t disgraced when thrown in deep next time out. Makes her handicap debut off the same mark — hard to oppose.
