TURFFONTEIN


Race 1
Race Summary: Only winner in the race, COOL WINTER was beaten when hot favourite last time and could atone, however, EYE OF THE PROPHET was catching strongly and could grab him with experience gained. SMART POMODORO and WITHOUT EQUAL weren't far behind on that form but could be looking for further. VARTACUS found support in both starts and could feature. He is coupled with newcomer PRIME EXAMPLE - watch. KUZNETSOV was gelded after a decent debut and could come on. Watch other newcomers.

Selections:
#2 Eye Of The Prophet, #1 Cool Winter, #4 Kuznetsov, #10 Vartacus

Race 2
Race Summary: RIMAAH eased in the betting on debut when finishing off strongly to take 2nd. She looks the one to beat. Similarly, MISS DAISY ran on nicely in the same race on debut and could challenge. NATIONAL STAR was blowing in both her starts and if the problem has been sorted could feature. She is coupled with debutante TIZ MAGIC - watch. Watch the other first-timers.

Selections:
#8 Rimaah, #6 Miss Daisy, #12 Tiz Magic, #5 Maharanee

Race 3
Race Summary: CASTLETOWN is over the right distance and rates the one to beat in a small field. INVINCIBLE WARRIOR needed his last run badly but needs to make up over three lengths on the former. CAPTAIN OF GRIT won't lie down and appears the one they will need to run down going for the judge. WESTERN FORT may need the run but should make the Quartet.

Selections:
#1 Castletown, #4 Invincible Warrior, #5 Captain Of Grit, #2 Western Fort

Race 4
Race Summary: The Listed DRUM STAR HANDICAP over 1800m is all about REUNION, who if in the right mood could be the one they will all be chasing home. If he fluffs his lines there will be many looking to capitalise. TIERRA DEL FUEGO could prove best of Sean Tarry's five, however, NEBRAAS and WILLOW EXPRESS are not without claims. JOHNNY HERO could turn it around with MARCHINGONTOGETHER.

Selections:
#9 Reunion, #8 Tierra Del Fuego, #1 Johnny Hero, #3 Marchingontogether

Race 5
Race Summary: The DERBY TRIAL (Listed) over 2000m for three-year-olds looks a match between two runners, MOTOWN MAGIC, who stays all day, and LITIGATION who is bred for further but has yet to prove it. FLASHY APACHE could hold off MY MASTER on their recent meeting. Lightly raced TABEBUIA comes off an impressive maiden win but meets a lot stronger. RUN AS ONE and WITH PLEASURE are looking for minor money.

Selections:
#2 Motown Magic, #1 Litigation, #4 Flashy Apache, #5 My Master

Race 6
Race Summary: The ORMOND FERRARIS OAKS TRIAL (Listed) over 2000m appears wide open. ETERNAL LIFE is the line horse. She won her only try over this distance and could double up, however, WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE (will enjoy the extra), FLAME FLOWER (encountered problems last time), ONTHEVERGE and TRUMP MY QUEEN who has plenty of scope could go close on collateral form. JUST FABULOUS, PRINCESS KESH and relatively unknown DEFENDER OF RIGHTS could get into the action.

Selections:
#3 Woman Of Substance, #4 Flame Flower, #1 Eternal Life, #6 Trump My Queen

Race 7
Race Summary: The most competitive SENOR SANTA STAKES (Grade 2) over 1160m in years. GALLIC PRINCESS is bang in form and could outrun the field of top sprinters in an expected fast pace up front. Despite being by Futura, SWEET FUTURE appears best over 1000m. Three-year-olds UNDER YOUR SPELL and SMORGASBORD could get into the action. MR FLOOD showed his wellbeing with a fluent comeback win. Stablemates CELESTIAL LOVE, TRUE TO LIFE and HELLO WINTER HELLO are all in with claims. VASEEM could feature.

Selections:
#6 Gallic Princess, #13 Sweet Future, #1 Mr Flood, #10 Vaseem

Race 8
Race Summary: Another good race. ROZARA is in top form and could make it four wins in succession. GALLIC CHIEF and ULTRA QUICK have been runners-up in their last respective two starts and have obvious claims. CLEAVER GREEN is on a hat-trick to retain unbeaten status. ALULA'S STAR has been in the money in all eight starts. IT'S ABOUT TIME won well in new surroundings after a rest.

Selections:
#6 Rozara, #1 Gallic Chief, #7 Cleaver Greene, #3 Alula's Star

Race 9
Race Summary: UN DEUX TROIS is honest and should make her presence felt again. CHERINGOMA was blowing when running way below form last time and could make amends. Stable companion QUIET REBELLION is maturing and could enjoy the marathon distance. MASAAKEN stays well and could get into the reckoning. TRAVELING WILBURY, ARYAAM, STATELY HOME and FLYING FIRST CLASS could make the frame.

Selections:
#1 Un Deux Trois, #6 Cheringoma, #8 Quiet Rebellion, #5 Masaaken

Best Win: #8 RIMAAH
Best Value Bet: #6 GALLIC PRINCESS
Best Longshot: #6 GALLIC PRINCESS
