WSB Best Bets – Top Selections
Some runners look primed for success and are worth keeping an eye on:
-
Race 1 – Miss Novax
Trainer: M N Houdalakis
A smart winner on debut, with further improvement expected over this trip. She’s well placed to double up. -
Race 3 – Artic Silver
Trainer: S G Tarry | Jockey: G Lerena
Unlucky last time out when disqualified after a brave win (saddle slip led to underweight return). If in similar form, she’s a major player. -
Race 5 – Nuclear Force
Trainer: E Verdonese | Jockey: G Lerena
A solid stayer who enjoys this distance. Nicely drawn and offers solid each-way value. -
Race 9 – Tiger Storm
Trainer: F P Habib | Jockey: K Matsunyane
Consistent and effective over this trip. A trustworthy option for multiples and win bets alike. -
Race 10 – One Tiger
Trainer: M Azzie | Jockey: C Murray
Eye-catching win on his second start and now fitted with blinkers. This lightly raced colt could go close again.
