What To Bet?
Exotics and Bets: Bi Pot, P A, Pick 6, Jackpot 1, and Jackpot 2.
Top Picks from WSB:
Race 4: Donna Mo
B Crawford / K Matsunyane
The Crawford stable maintains its excellent form on the Highveld, with Donna Mo standing out as a strong contender. With her track record and advantageous draw position, she should prove difficult to beat, especially if she continues to show improvement.
Race 5: Melech
R R Magner / G Lerena
Ran poorly last time despite being quietly fancied in the Grade 1 Horse Chestnut Stakes. However, won over course and distance three runs ago and should be in contention if returning in the same form.
Race 7: Dreamland
M N Houdalakis / G Lerena
A speedy type who returned to the winner’s circle for a well-deserved second time in his last run. He should not be far away again today.
Race 9: San Simon
J J Van Vuuren / G Lerena
Drops back to the 1160m trip, a distance over which he has a good record (1 win, 1 second), and looks ready for his second win in the ‘getting out stakes’.
