Layout: 2800m oval track. Straight course up to 1000m; beyond that, races turn clockwise with a 1000m run-in.

WSB Best Bets – Horses to Watch
Race 1 – Lilac Snow
🟢 Jockey: Samuel Mosia
🟢 Trainer: W Marwing
Consistent in maiden company and now gets a top work rider on board. This could be the day she finally breaks through for that long-awaited win.
Race 2 – Golden Operator
🟢 Jockey: Craig Zackey
🟢 Trainer: Sean Tarry
Returns from a break and has been gelded – a move that could bring improvement. With winners coming out of his past races, he looks well placed to go close.
Race 4 – African Pride
🟢 Jockey: T Mayhew
🟢 Trainer: C Spies
Thrown into Grade 1 company early in his career and didn’t disgrace himself. Followed up with a strong maiden win and could go back-to-back with further maturity.
Race 6 – Twostep Queen
🟢 Jockey: P Mxoli
🟢 Trainer: St John Gray
Won impressively last time out and represents a stable in fine form. She’s capable of doubling up if repeating that effort.
Race 7 – Mamlambo
🟢 Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
🟢 Trainer: Heather E Adamson
An exciting, progressive filly who’s looked better with each run. Two solid wins already, and the hat-trick could be on the cards.
