Race Summary: SHARAPOVA was backed in all 3 races but failed to deliver. She should be given another chance and rates hard to beat. MO THE MAN rates the biggest danger and should challenge. GIMME A DIAMOND needed his last outing and could get into the Trifecta. FREE MOVEMENT pulled up distressed last time and should do better. KILBRANNAN SOUND, BYE BYE BIRDIE, COUNT YOUR CHANCES and newcomer MAMBO COME TESIO warrant inclusion in the Quartet
Selections:
#9 Sharapova, #1 Mo The Man, #2 Gimme A Diamond, #5 Free Movement

Race Summary: ARIVIDICIO was never travelling well last time but could make amends and get into the action. RAFFLES won’t go down without a fight and must be respected from pole draw. TWOSIDESTOASTORY, FAST LOVE and CLIMATE CONTROL are looking for Trifecta money
Selections:
#5 Raffles, #1 Arividicio, #4 Fast Love, #6 Climate Control
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90.000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: IMPERSONATION is maturing and should be hard to oppose. Her form has been franked and this is her peak run. EFFICIENT TRADER showed marked improvement last time and rates the main danger. LADY ZULTANITE, DOUBLE JOY and ISLAND BEAUTY are sufficient for Trifectas.
Selections:
#2 Impersonation, #4 Efficient Trader, #1 Lady Zultanite, #6 Island Beauty
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R95.000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Good race. BUREAU DES LEGENDE is in form and with a 2.5kg allowance could be competitive. She finished on top of CRIMSON PRINCESS and is 2kg better off. QUEEN OF SMOKE comes into the reckoning on collateral form line. Stablemate TULIP TREE forms a decent back-up. CAPE LIGHTS comes off a maiden win but has a handy weight – respect. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE was blowing last time but should now be cherry-ripe.
Selections:
#9 Cape Lights, #7 Queen Of Smoke, #1 Bureau Des Legende, #3 Crimson Princess
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R85.000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open where the draws will play an important role. INDUS KNIGHT has a good barrier position and if settling after obtaining a good early position could finish off strongly. Also drawn well is LADY CALAVERA. She doesn’t appear troubled by a breathing problem and the combo could complete a hat-trick. OYSTER KING is running well and with LITTLE PRINCE as well as PASCHALS SAMORE could challenge. Many others are looking to strike.
Selections:
#1 Indus Knight, #6 Lady Calavera, #9 Oyster King, #3 Little Prince
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R90.000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: ROLL OVER REDROVER impressed when opening his account and could go in again. GOLDEN PROSPECT is a lot better than his last 2 runs and if finding true form will be right there. FUTUREWOLFF must be in with a winning chance if not troubled by breathing. LIGHT OF DAY will have the run of the race from pole position. GIMME THE FLAME could run into the money.
Selections:
#3 Roll Over Redrover, #1 Golden Prospect, #6 Futurewolff, #4 Light Of Day
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R85.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: IRONTAIL hasn’t been far off and despite a wide draw could feature. Also drawn wide is SAGE KING, but it could prove a blessing in disguise as he should get covered early. Stable companion ROBERT BURNS did well last time and could get into the fight for honours. NEVER TO CLEVER needed his last run and will come on. FOLLOW MY PATH needs to confirm his last run. SAY YES runs before this – watch for improvement. RUN FOR COVER is capable of better.
Selections:
#3 Irontail, #6 Coming In Hot, #4 Sage King, #7 Robert Burns
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: CABINET SHUFFLE has the class and will be assisted by a 2.5kg claim. Up-and-coming MELECH is bang in form and could complete a hat-trick. TIRPITZ is only a one-time winner but should not disgrace himself. BARD OF AVON found problems last time and could challenge. CLARKSON did well in a sprint pipe-opener and could get into the picture. NORDIC REBEL and KOTINOS could place.
Selections:
#5 Melech, #1 Cabinet Shuffle, #8 Tirpitz, #2 Bard Of Avon
Turffontein Inside, 02.03.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R85.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: THERE SHE GOES and SOUTH BOY have the form to score, however, they are drawn wide. They have the speed to overcome the draw but may not be able to settle thereafter and it could prove costly. STORMY SEAS has also drawn wide but prefers to challenge late. LAETITIA’S ANGEL could make them gallop from a good barrier position. A TIME TO FLOWER, VAR PARK and DARK TIDE could get into the Quartet.
Selections:
#4 South Boy, #3 There She Goes, #7 Laetitia’s Angel, #1 Stormy Seas
Best Win: #9 SHARAPOVA
Best Value Bet: #3 IRONTAIL
Best Longshot: #3 IRONTAIL
