Top Picks from WSB:
Race 1 Scars Of War
A P Peter / C Mabaya
Looks tough to beat based on recent form, especially after being unlucky not to secure a win last time. With a talented work rider on board, she is likely to be a crowd favourite among punters.
Race 5 Zenobia`s Gold
S G Tarry / R Fourie
Making a swift return after a solid performance last week, this contender boasts a favorable draw, a previous win over the distance, and the expertise of jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle.
Race 7 Silent War
A P Peter / C Maujean
With his recent form showing consistency, this contender certainly has strong claims. Add to that his impressive turn of foot and suitability to the distance, and he emerges as first choice.
Race 9 Lovegrass
J J Van Vuuren / G Lerena
After an impressive maiden victory on debut, she continued to showcase her potential by securing a solid second-place finish over the same track and trip. Now, returning from a near three-month rest, if she’s primed and ready to roll, she’ll certainly be a force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye on this unexposed talent!
