Race Summary: RED HOT ROSE eased in the betting on debut but wasn’t disgraced in third place. She will come on with the run and will relish the extra. She is coupled with debutante LOVE SONG – watch the betting. MISS SHAIVI is another looking for the longer distance and should run well. KOMESANS PASSION hasn’t been far back in both starts and could improve over the extra. Others are looking to improve. Respect any money for the other newcomers.

Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: If reserve runner SIMPLY MAGIC gets into the race then the picture changes – respect. HEART OF ETERNITY tackles a moderate lot and from pole draw will be hard to catch. REGINA BELLISSIMA was not striding out last time but jumps from a wide draw. LOOK TO THE STARS did well after a rest but she too has a wide draw to overcome. STORM JEWEL and CONVOCATION are capable of causing the upset.
Selections:
#1 Heart Of Eternity, #2 Regina Bellissima, #3 Look To The Stars, #5 Convocation
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: EDWARD RYE never travelled well after being heavily backed in his post-debut and ran a shocker. Expect a much better showing. MAGIC PRINCE should be involved in the finish if finds cover in the early stages. AZUCAR has the form but has been out of action for nearly a year – respect money. Hard knocker SMELTING has another go and cannot be ignored for money. SAKA GOLD could win on debut in new surroundings. Others with money claims.
Selections:
#4 Magic Prince, #7 Edward Rye, #10 Azucar, #11 Smelting
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 2600m, Turf, R120.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Good race with tactics playing an important role. It’s difficult to assess the chances of WHITE FANG after a shocking performance. BANHA BRIDGE is honest and should give another solid performance. ARLINGTON ACTION found problems last time and must be considered. IMPERIAL MASTER did well over the marathon trip and should be thereabouts. FLYING FIRST CLASS is another not to be left out of calculations.
Selections:
#2 Imperial Master, #6 Banha Bridge, #4 Arlington Action, #5 Flying First Class
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: CELESTIAL CITY beat TOFFAS by nearly 2 lengths last time but meets him on 2.5kg worse terms. It could get close between them and they should contest the finish. TWIN TURBO tries his best and cannot be ignored for money. The balance of the field are all capable of getting into the Quartet.
Selections:
#2 Celestial City, #3 Toffas, #4 Twin Turbo, #7 Call Me Master
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R75.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Difficult race to assess. OYSTER KING has the current form but races before this. WIND SOCK and BIG CITY GIRL will need to overcome wide draws. EAGLE ALLEY is starting to show again but stablemate MABONENG wasn’t far behind him last time. SPRING WILL COME beat nothing of note when opening his account but could go on. GREGOR MACGREGOR and SPEECHMAKER are more for the shortlist.
Selections:
#1 Oyster King, #4 Big City Girl, #3 Wind Sock, #6 Eagle Alley
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110.000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Lightly raced SOUTHERN SKIES was not striding out last time but if problem free should make a bold bid. She is preferred to stablemates, year-older DANCETILDAYLIGHT who claims 2.5kg and MORAINE who races for the first time over less than 1400m. LUCY IN THE SKY, BENGUELA COVE, INTOXICATING and GOLDEN ASPEN are all looking for minor money.
Selections:
#2 Southern Skies, #1 Dancetildaylight, #6 Moraine, #3 Lucy In The Sky
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R85.000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Another difficult race to assess. Stable companions SILVER MENSA and MOTHER OF PEARL found issues in their respective races last time and could get back on track. TAYOOBA has ability but runs after being out of action for nearly 8 months. LOLLAPALOOZA could make her presence felt if puts it in. SECOND BREATH could get into the money.
Selections:
#4 Silver Mensa, #6 Mother Of Pearl, #1 Tayooba, #5 Lollapalooza
Turffontein Inside, 21.03.2023, Race 10, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R85.000, 17:10GMT+2
Race Summary: WHATYOUWAITINGFOR could have breathing problems but if she starts on terms could blow them away. METEORIC won well last time but needs to confirm. She holds LIL MISS MONEYBAGS on recent form. COLDHARDSTARE has ability and could win fresh. THERE SHE GOES, MIX THE MAGIC and PERMESSO AVANTI warrant inclusion in exotics.
Selections:
#1 Whatyouwaitingfor, #3 Meteoric, #6 Coldhardstare, #7 Permesso Avanti
Best Win: #2 SOUTHERN SKIES
Best Value Bet: #2 IMPERIAL MASTER
Best Longshot: #2 IMPERIAL MASTER
