WSB Hot Horses to Watch – Best Bets
Race 2 – Tintin
Craig Zackey – Sean Tarry
Showed plenty when returning from a break and should strip fitter. Big runner.

A three-time course and distance winner. Each-way value and beautifully placed.
Race 4 – Rachel Wall
Gavin Lerena – Tony Peter
In peak form and looks set for another bold showing.
Race 5 – Truth
Serino Moodley – Candice Dawson
Last-time winner who continues to progress. Draw may test her but she has class.

Philasande Mxoli – Tyrone Zackey
Two wins from two over this trip and still improving.
Race 7 – Jan van Goyen
Callan Murray – Mike/Matt de Kock
Impressive Grade 1 winner in July and open to plenty of improvement on return.

Craig Zackey – Frank Robinson
Ran a storming 4th last year and looks primed for a big performance.
Race 10 – Daimyo
Calvin Habib – Alec Laird
Front-running feature winner who could dominate if left alone early.
