After assessing form, conditions and track trends, these are World Sports Betting’s standout selections for Tuesday’s meeting:
🏇 Race 1 – Turn It Up

Ran on strongly to finish second in a high-quality maiden on debut. Natural improvement expected and looks the one to beat.
🏇 Race 4 – Delaware River
Jockey: Philasande Mxoli
Trainer: Stuart Pettigrew
Well drawn and running consistently. Looks primed to go one better than last time.
🏇 Race 5 – Trombolines
Jockey: Callan Murray
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Narrowly beaten on debut and bred to relish the extra distance. With normal improvement, could strike here.
🏇 Race 6 – Speedman

Trainer: Sean Tarry
Unbeaten in two starts and still improving. The longer trip should suit and he looks a serious prospect.
🏇 Race 9 – Texas Missile
Jockey: Calvin Habib

Impressive maiden winner over this trip at the Vaal. Capable of further progress and should be right in the mix.
