Top Picks from WSB:
Race 3 A Place In The Sun
B Crawford / P Strydom
Looks like the obvious choice based on form over shorter distances. Her running style and breeding suggest that a longer trip will suit her well. Strydom is booked, and his expertise in judging pace adds to the confidence.
Race 5 To The Rescue
S G Tarry / G Lerena
He’s coming into his own and displaying notable progress since his gelding. Despite carrying a hefty 62kg, he should still be competitive at this level.
Race 7 Money Heist
A P Peter / C Habib
His rating has dropped by 10 points since December. He’s racing without blinkers this time, drawn in the favorable one-box position, and the race distance suits him perfectly.
