TURFFONTEIN


Race 1
Race Summary: MCEBISI has been threatening and deserves his victory but won't have it on a plate. CANADA SQUARE races in new surroundings and won't lie down. Both MASTER OF COIN and BLONDE ACT are running well and must be included in all bets. SEA OF GALILEE is back over a preferred distance and could get into the action. DAWN MISSION, NEVER TO CLEVER and COPERNICUS could make the Quartet.

Selections:
#4 Mcebisi, #10 Canada Square, #2 Blonde Act, #1 Master Of Coin

Race 2
Race Summary: PASHASHA finished runner-up in her last five starts and could get her consistency rewarded, however, PRETTY IN PEARLS is maturing now and should give her a run for her money. BELLEVARDE races before this but if she takes her place could get into the reckoning. HYDRANGEA sports blinkers now and any improvement could see her in the fight for honours. JAPAN APPROVAL could place.

Selections:
#2 Pashasha, #4 Pretty In Pearls, #1 Bellevarde, #5 Hydrangea

Race 3
Race Summary: BARAK hardly ever runs a bad race and should be the one to beat in this not overly strong field. Biggest threat could come from stable companion MASAAKEN who receives 11kg from him. BEFORE NOON is more than capable but was not striding out last time - respect. MYSTERY BOY is carded to race before this. He stays well - watch the form. SMILEY RIVER and PAYBACKTHEMONEY (problems last time) could earn.

Selections:
#2 Barak, #6 Masaaken, #3 Before Noon, #5 Mystery Boy

Race 4
Race Summary: JAIPUR JEWEL has been costly to follow. He finished just in front of LAMBORGHREENI recently but the latter was on debut and should reverse the form. On that form line LEESON found problems but could get involved on earlier form. BULLETIN is having his peak run and should relish the longer distance. FASHIONIGMA has been disappointing of late but could be looking for the extra. KISSED BY FIRE could make the frame.

Selections:
#11 Lamborghreeni, #2 Leeson, #1 Jaipur Jewel, #12 Fashionigma

Race 5
Race Summary: Competitive race. NAVAL GUARD is improving with racing and if sees out the extra could go in. SNOW PALACE is one of many looking to take him on. RAISEAHALLELUJAH, APOLLO ROBBINS (races before this) and DUKE OF SUSSEX should be on top each other on recent collateral form. HAVE A GO JO is 2.5kg worse off with KOOL BAIKAL for a 2.40-length beating and they could finish together.

Selections:
#13 Naval Guard, #8 Snow Palace, #7 Apollo Robbins, #4 Raiseahallelujah

Race 6
Race Summary: The JACARANDA HANDICAP (Listed) over 1800m has attracted an in-form field. Top weight BOLD FORTUNE is a fighter and the combo is looking for five straight wins in succession. He gives 6kg to year older mare PIN UP and the combo is looking for a hat-trick. Others, including SHIVERS, ROUGE ALLURE, ROSAPRIMA and OPERA GLASS, are looking to improve their breeding status.

Selections:
#1 Bold Fortune, #4 Pin Up, #9 Opera Glass, #2 Shivers

Race 7
Race Summary: The SYCAMORE SPRINT (Grade 3) over 1160M sees top three-year-old filly BIG BURN giving 4kg and more to the field. She was beaten in her last three starts when finding problems and could resume winning ways. A serious threat could come from year older FULL VELOCITY who is 8kg better off on their meeting six months ago. Her stable companion CARALLUMA is no slouch and could come right. Stablemates TANZANITE QUEEN and BEQUEST are looking to challenge. Others are all capable of taking home lesser cheques.

Selections:
#8 Full Velocity, #1 Big Burn, #10 Caralluma, #7 Tanzanite Queen

Race 8
Race Summary: SUPER AGRA is holding form and should run another honest race. Stable companion NOBLE SNIPER was backed last time in new surroundings but found problems - expect a lot better. Other inmates GENERAL HANCOCK and FRONTLINE FIGHTER could also get into the action. GLOWTORIA, SLINGS AND ARROWS, ON CUE, TWICE AS SPLENDID and POWER RANGER (rested and gelded) are capable of pulling it off.

Selections:
#1 Super Agra, #2 Noble Sniper, #3 Glowtoria, #7 On Cue

Race 9
Race Summary: Stable companions SECRET IS OURS (claims 2.5kg) and ANCIENT ROME (reported working well after a rest) as well as BALL ROLLING gives trainer Paul Peter another strong entry to end off the day. SEQUOIA comes off a short rest but is improving with racing. WONDERING STAR was close up in his last two and should be thereabouts again. ICE MAN COMETH is having his peak run - respect.

Selections:
#1 Secret Is Ours, #8 Ancient Rome, #2 Sequoia, #7 Wondering Star

Best Win: #2 BARAK
Best Value Bet: #11 LAMBORGHREENI
Best Longshot: #11 LAMBORGHREENI
