WSB Horses to Watch – Sunday’s Best Bets
Race 1 – Monkey Puzzle
Kabelo Matsunyane | James Crawford
Has run well in recent Highveld starts, finding only one too good each time. Steps up to 1400m, which should suit perfectly — a leading contender.
Race 2 – Anahita
Muzi Yeni | Mike Azzie
Made an excellent debut and that form has already been franked by two subsequent winners. Hard to oppose and looks the one to beat.
Race 3 – Parisian Walkway
Calvin Habib | Alec Laird
Will strip fitter after a good prep run. Expect improvement here with feature season on the horizon. Solid place value.
Race 7 – Buffalo Storm Cody
Richard Fourie | Tony Peter
Continues to improve since being gelded and thrives over this course and distance. Should go close again — major player.
Race 8 – Xenophon
Craig Zackey | Sean Tarry
His recent runner-up finish at a higher level reads well. A repeat of that effort makes him very tough to beat.
