Race Summary: PHANTOMOFTHEFOREST is maturing and should enjoy the turn. RAPTOR ISLAND jumps from pole position and his front-running tactics could pay off.

Race Summary: SUMMER FLING loved the extra and even though coming off a maiden win could go in again. ISLAND BEAUTY is also off a maiden win and drawn wide, however, she looks to be maturing and could challenge. They take on six-time-winner CALL THE WIND who should make a race of it. MEMORIAL DAY was not striding out last time and with PASHASHA and LIDL MISS SUNSHINE could challenge.
Selections:
#1 Summer Fling, #3 Island Beauty, #2 Call The Wind, #4 Pashasha
Turffontein Inside, 16.03.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R75.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Difficult to assess with interchanging form. MONSIEUR CHEVELLE shoulders a hefty 62kg but should still make his presence felt. However, he finished behind NUCLEAR FORCE in his penultimate but the latter ran no kind of race subsequently. OYSTER KING is holding form and must be considered. SKYFULL was not striding out last time and an improved run is expected. Others are looking for money money.
Selections:
#2 Nuclear Force, #1 Monsieur Chevelle, #3 Oyster King, #6 Skyfull

Race Summary: POWER RANGER has been costly to follow but could get it right here and crack a second win. SILK GARDEN comes off her maiden victory and could go on. DARK TIDE should be right there on collateral form. Look for a good effort from MCEBISI who could sprint being fresh. TIMBAVATI RIVER, GIMME ROYALTY and PENDRAGON are looking to get into the frame.
Selections:
#8 Power Ranger, #6 Silk Garden, #9 Dark Tide, #1 Mcebisi
Best Win: #2 NEW PREDATOR
Best Value Bet: #7 WELCOME BREEZE
