Race Summary: WOMEN OF FAME has disappointed but must be one for the shortlist in this field. WAITFORGREENLIGHT has also disappointed and could be looking for further but cannot be ignored for money. OUT THE MIST did well on debut but ran below form subsequently. She could find it. Stablemate LIFE LESSON could make the frame. VOSHAARNOOI, PRINCESS LOLA, GOLD AGENT, REUNION HOTSPOT and a fancied newcomer could make the frame.

Selections:

#3 Women Of Fame, #4 Waitforgreenlight, #5 Sugary Sweet, #12 Gold Agent

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R105.000, 12:35GMT+2

Race Summary: BABYLON has been costly to follow but could get it right. BREATH OF MAGIC is struggling to escape the maiden ranks but cannot be ignored for money. SECRET CHORD must be in with a winning chance on collateral form. Stable companion EIGER SANCTION could feature. PRECIPEACE can only improve on debut and should be on top of them. EDWARD RYE races for his new yard after a lay-off – respect the money. LORD DANON PLATINA and TWO MILES WEST could make the Quartet.

Selections:

#2 Babylon, #15 Precipeace, #6 Secret Chord, #3 Breath Of Magic

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R135.000, 13:10GMT+2

Race Summary: If GREEN GARNET settles he will be hard to beat, however, there are a few ready to take him on. MASTER ARIANO races in new surroundings and the stable has an unbelievable winning record on newcomers into the yard. GAMER did well on debut and could go on. VIVA LA VICTOR and BIRTHRIGHT are more to consider for Trifectas.

Selections:

#5 Green Garnet, #6 Master Ariano, #4 Gamer, #9 Viva La Victor

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R95.000, 13:45GMT+2

Race Summary: PINK DIAMOND has the form but is reported in need of the run. Even though not fully fit could have a say. Otherwise UNITED WE STAND looks the one to beat in a moderate line-up. Respect money for SILVER JUBILEE who found support but pulled up short on debut. ONE RELIGION and SHE’S A KLAWER could make the Trifecta.

Selections:

#1 United We Stand, #10 Silver Jubilee, #2 Pink Diamond, #4 She’s A Klawer

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110.000, 14:20GMT+2

Race Summary: Tricky. COURAGEOUS CAT was given over a year off the track after a disappointing post debut run. If all is well could find expected form. Stablemate ARIVIDICIO is running close up and forms a good back-up. RED BOMBER is a decent sort and should be right there. UNZEN finished ahead of him recently but disappointed subsequently. MOUNT PILATUS will enjoy the extra and could challenge. SILVER HILLS could be prepping for bigger things.

Selections:

#3 Red Bomber, #1 Unzen, #4 Courageous Cat, #2 Arividicio

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100.000, 14:55GMT+

Race Summary: PLATINA PRINCESS needed her last run but she has a few to beat including stable companion ZINOVI who is a lot fitter. KYOMAI finished just ahead of PURE PREDATOR in the Champion Stakes and the form has been franked – either could take it. HOTARUBI was well behind them. Another coming off a rest is highly thought of COMMAND PILOT – watch. MOVING IN could make the money.

Selections:

#3 Zinovi, #4 Platina Princess, #2 Pure Predator, #1 Kyomai

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R200.000, 15:30GMT+2

Race Summary: Weight could be the decider. EMERATE GINA has the class to take the Listed Summer Pudding Handicap over 1600m, however, she gives tons of weight to many. SAY YES gets 7kg while SILVER SANCTUARY gets an extra 0.5kg and it could prove costly. Any of the remaining runners could get into the money

Selections:

#10 Silver Sanctuary, #1 Emirate Gina, #9 Say Yes, #7 Bonete

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R135.000, 16:05GMT+2

Race Summary: SIMPLE SIMPLE is holding form and off a handy weight should give another run for money. BAVARIAN BEAUTY comes off a feature race win but could be in need of the outing, however, class could prevail. BRAVE VIKING is back over a preferred distance – respect. INDLAMU and ANOTHER LEVEL could prove best of the rest.

Selections:

#5 Bavarian Beauty, #6 Brave Viking, #7 Simple Simple, #4 Indlamu

Turffontein Standside, 12.11.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R85.000, 16:40GMT+

Race Summary: Competitive race to end. If reserve WAR QUEEN gets a run, include in all bets. DARK TIDE is honest and should give a run for money. WHAT A TIGER is running well and must be considered. LIFE GOES ON has improved in blinkers and could feature, but IN THE ETHER should be right on top of him on collateral form. SAMOA, HAPPY ANALIA, RED CARPET GIRL and RISKY BUSINESS could make the money.

Selections:

#9 Dark Tide, #6 What A Tiger, #10 In The Ether, #11 Life Goes On

Best Win: #5 GREEN GARNET

Best Value Bet: #5 BAVARIAN BEAUTY

Best Longshot: #5 BAVARIAN BEAUTY
