🔮 WSB Best Bets:
Race 1: Great Notion (Trainer: M F De Kock / Jockey: C Mabaya)
This runner is showing steady improvement with every start. A consistent performer who is well-suited to this field. The experienced De Kock yard ensures this horse is in excellent shape, and with a talented jockey in C Mabaya, it’s a strong contender to make a mark.
Race 2: Pioneer Square (Trainer: C Dawson / Jockey: G Lerena)
Knocking on the door of a win! This runner has been improving with every outing and was narrowly beaten by just a neck last time out over the same distance. With Gavin Lerena in the irons, a master at navigating tight finishes, this horse looks poised to go one better.
Race 5: Flamboyant Flyer (Trainer: C Mayhew / Jockey: K A Brewer)
Surprised many with a big-priced win in her last race, but it wasn’t a fluke. The handicapper hasn’t penalised her heavily, leaving her well-positioned to follow up with another strong performance. A horse to watch out for!
Race 7: Salenio Peninsula (Trainer: J J Van Vuuren / Jockey: G Lerena)
This lightly raced runner is already a two-time winner, showing class and potential early in its career. Despite facing stronger company recently, the horse wasn’t disgraced and has the ability to bounce back here. Expect a determined run with a top jockey like Gavin Lerena guiding it.
