Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 1, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R75.000, 12:10GMT+2
Race Summary: RYANS BOULEVARD was quietly fancied on debut and did well to run 2nd – look for improvement. He was just ahead of TYRCONNELL who needed the outing and it could get close. Both WAZZUP and KING’S RANSOM were heavily supported on their respective 2nd runs behind same winner Wyzeact, but both disappointed subsequently. HELBERDIER is running well and together with COMMANDER OF ALL, JUST NUISENCE and JUSTCANTGETENOUGH could make the frame.
Selections:
#1 Tyrconnell, #9 Ryans Boulevard, #10 Wazzup, #6 King’s Ransom
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R70.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: AMERICAN BISCUIT has met a lot stronger and looks the one to beat. NAZARE has done well in both post-maiden runs and could challenge. IGNATIUS comes off a rest but if ready could get into the fight for honours. KING’S EXPRESS, FRENCH IMPACT and RUN FOR COVER are looking for minor money.
Selections:
#2 American Biscuit, #6 Nazare, #1 Ignatius, #5 King’s Express
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R80.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ON THE HORIZON strolled in on debut and could be anything. On riding engagements she appears stable elect over QUEEN OF CAMELOT. The latter finished just under a length ahead of SIMPLE SIMPLE (peak run) but it could go either way. Her stablemate, SEA ANEMONE, beat STRANGE MAGIC by 1 length but the latter is 1.5kg better off – it could get close. QUE CEU AZUL comes off a long lay-off but is capable – respect money.
Selections:
#5 On The Horizon, #7 Queen Of Camelot, #1 Strange Magic, #2 Simple Simple
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: There shouldn’t be much to choose between RAFFLES and MILLAHUE on recent form and luck in running could be the decider. SUPREME DANCE and BOB’S YOUR UNCLE could challenge while TWIN TURBO, WHISPERS OF WAR, MOTOWN MAGIC and HAZLO GRANDE could fight out minor money.
Selections:
#3 Millahue, #1 Raffles, #2 Supreme Dance, #6 Bob’s Your Uncle
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R75.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: TROIS TROIS QUATRE has matured and could continue winning ways by completing a hat-trick. LUTHULI will enjoy being back at this track and could challenge. Likewise, ROMEO’S MAGIC is another that does his best at this course and must be considered. ELUSIVE SWANN is running close up and cannot be ignored for money. Stablemates EVERY CLOUD, SILENT TRIGGER and OVER TWO YOU as well as THE INKOSANA could get into the frame.
Selections:
#1 Trois Trois Quatre, #3 Luthuli, #9 Romeo’s Magic, #7 Elusive Swann
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R175.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Lightly raced MRS BROWNING is a classy filly and needed her last outing. Despite top weight she should overpower her field. COLDHARDSTARE, WHAT A HONEY, GOOD QUEEN BESS, MIST IN SCOTLAND, MISS DAISY and SECOND BREATH are looking to capitalise if she fluffs her lines.
Selections:
#1 Mrs Browning, #3 Coldhardstare, #8 Second Breath, #4 What A Honey
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R250.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: SHELDON runs for Gavin Lerena and the pair could make it 5 wins together. QUANTUM THEORY has ability and could take honours trying this distance for the first time. TEAM GOLD drops in trip but could finish off strongly. THUNDERSTONE, BARD OF AVON and UNION SQUARE (blinkers back on) could make their presence felt.
Selections:
#2 Sheldon, #4 Quantum Theory, #6 Team Gold, #10 Thunderstone
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R80.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Stable companions CAPSAICIN and READY TO CHARGE could fight this out. CAPSAICIN eased in the betting on debut but found no pressure in disposing of the field. He should come on this. READY TO CHARGE is doing well but could be looking for further. He should hold HEIRLOOM on recent form. GLOBAL THUNDER has blinkers back on and could get into the reckoning. ROSE FOR TRIPPI, CLIFF HANGER and UNZEN could pull it off.
Selections:
#6 Capsaicin, #7 Global Thunder, #4 Heirloom, #5 Ready To Charge
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT is as honest as they come but has to concede weight to Johan Janse van Vuuren’s 5 runners of which RAINBOW REWARD could prove to be the stable elect. However, inmates CHYAVANA, MOONSHININGTHROUGH, COSMIC STAR (runs before this) and MYTHICAL DREAM are all in with money claims.
Selections:
#8 Rainbow Reward, #1 Captain Hindsight, #9 Mythical Dream, #3 Moonshiningthrough
Turffontein Inside, 02.09.2023, Race 10, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R77.500, 17:15GMT+2
Race Summary: WINGS WITHIN ME obviously doesn’t show true ability on the training track but gives her best on race day – respect. MISS HANNIGAN makes her debut in new surroundings and must be one for the shortlist. GOLDEN SICKLE claims 4kg which should see her competitive. ON CUE shouldn’t be far behind her but often leaves it too late. ROZARA and FLY ISABELLA FLY could take home money.
Selections:
#5 Wings Within Me, #3 Miss Hannigan, #1 Golden Sickle, #2 On Cue
Best Win: #2 AMERICAN BISCUIT
Best Value Bet: #5 ON THE HORIZON
Best Longshot: #5 ON THE HORIZON
