Winning Form WSB Fillies Guineas Picks
GOLDEN HOSTESS was an impressive winner in the Non-Black Type The Magnolia last time. She was slow into stride, settled near the rear of the field and quickened up well to win going away. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She will strip a much fitter horse and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, she should follow up.
HOLD MY HAND has cost herself at the start in her last two outings over further. She has won once and finished third once from three starts over this distance. Grant van Niekerk steps back into the saddle and if jumping on terms, she should pose a massive threat.
LADY OF POWER was not disgraced in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Bridget Oppenheimer Oaks last time. She won the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Fillies Guineas, three runs ago. She is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line.
SHANTASTIC was an impressive winner in the Grade 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes last time. She took the lead at the 200m mark and quickened away from the opposition. She takes a rise in class, but is in a good space and should be up to the task at hand.
