WSB Best Bets:
RACE 1 Legend Of Arthur
Trainer: S G Tarry, Jockey: R Fourie
Legend of Arthur was a good winner over 1450m 4 weeks ago on the inside track, and based on breeding, should have even more to offer over the extra distance on Saturday.
RACE 2 World Of Alice
Trainer: S G Tarry, Jockey: C Zackey
World of Alice made a good debut, finishing a staying-on third after a slow start. The additional 200m should be a positive rather than a negative, hopefully leading to her completing the Tarry double
RACE 5 Kiss Me Captain
M Azzie / R A Venniker
Ran a brilliant race in the Grade 1 Computaform Sprint to finish just over 3 L behind the best sprinters in the country, and a repeat of that run will see her go close.
RACE 7 Aragosta
M F De Kock / M V’Rensburg
He returned to form after putting in an eye-catching run, staying on to finish 3rd in the Grade 1 Premier’s Champions Challenge (over the same course and distance). This performance puts him in a good position here, with a solid chance of victory
