🔥 Top WSB Selections 🔥
📌 Race 3: Total Surrender
🏇 Trainer: M N Houdalakis | Jockey: C Zackey
🔎 Forget his last run—he was outpaced over a trip too short. Back up to a more suitable distance, he can return to form.
📌 Race 5: Golden Sickle
🏇 Trainer: A P Peter | Jockey: G Lerena
🔎 Saves her best form for Turffontein, including a runner-up finish in the Computaform Sprint last season. Won a similar race last time out—big chance again.
📌 Race 6: Quid Pro Quo
🏇 Trainer: B D Botes | Jockey: P Strydom
🔎 A rising star! Sold after winning the Dingaans against the colts, and on paper, she should have the class to dispatch today’s field comfortably.
📌 Race 7: Legend Of Arthur
🏇 Trainer: S G Tarry | Jockey: P Strydom
🔎 Finished strongly in the Graham Beck Stakes over 1400m. Should be even better over today’s 1600m trip—big each-way value.
📌 Race 10: Top Seed
🏇 Trainer: M De Kock | Jockey: C Zackey
🔎 Impressive maiden winner on return from a long layoff. If he takes the expected step forward, he could make it two from two.
