Race Summary: JUST NUISANCE never got going last time but the extra at this track will suit him ideally. LA MOOHAL is another that will enjoy the venue and cannot be ignored for honours. Stablemate OFFICER IN COMMAND will give a good show if getting away on terms. TO THE RESCUE will come on in heaps from his debut. The rest will battle.

Race Summary: SPRINGER needed her last outing when having issues. She looks the one to beat in a moderate line-up. OUTER DIMENSION has her blinkers removed and could get into the fight for honours. VENETIAN MOONLIGHT attracted money in all 4 runs. She sports blinkers now and could produce the expected form. SHE’S A KLAWER, FAIRY CIRCLE and LIKE A BUTTERFLY could make the money.
Selections:
#5 Springer, #6 Outer Dimension, #8 Venetian Moonlight, #2 She’s A Klawer

Race Summary: A small field of 7 take part and pace will play a serious part. APACHE FIGHTER has the ability to stay on and is able to sit handy, so gets the nod. ELEMBEE needed the run last time and could turn it around with SPECIAL CHARM. SAY YES and OPERA GLASS shouldn’t be far off. POORLITTLERICHGIRL could just need it. BALLROOM BLISS could make the Quartet.
Selections:
#3 Apache Fighter, #4 Elembee, #5 Special Charm, #2 Opera Glass

Race Summary: WITBLITS has come well in new surroundings and looks to have a bright chance of completing a hat-trick. ROSY LEMON is running well and should challenge. TURN THE PAGE was in season last time and should give a good performance. PRETTY IN PEARLS is running close up and looking for Trifecta money. ANTANANARIVO and EXPLOSIVE BOND are more to consider.
Selections:
#1 Witblits, #3 Rosy Lemon, #4 Turn The Page, #2 Pretty In Pearls
Turffontein Standside, 30.11.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 2850m, Turf, R110.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: BATTLEGROUND stays well and should relish the little extra. He finished well ahead of RULE BOOK who may have had an off day, however, BATTLEGROUND’S stable companion, NAMAQUA BLOSSOM, should him a go having 4kg less to shoulder. AFRAAD could get into the mix if in the right mood. MONSIEUR CHEVELLE could get into the frame. ARLINGTON ACTION is reported to be in need of the run.
Selections:
#1 Battleground, #5 Namaqua Blossom, #3 Rule Book, #4 Afraad

Race Summary: RED HOT ROSE, ELEGANT ICE and CULLINAN BLUE found problems before being rested and all are more than capable – respect money. WYZEACT and GARLANDSOFGREENERY were impressive in their wins and either could go on. CORNWALL is running well but gives weight to all.
Selections:
#8 Garlandsofgreenery, #3 Wyzeact, #6 Elegant Ice, #9 Divine Moonlight
Turffontein Standside, 30.11.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R105.000, 16:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Competitive race to end. SLINKY MAPIMPI comes off a long break and could need it but if the money comes, it could pay to follow him. REAL RELIEF is having his peak run after a rest and gelding and must be respected. SUNSHINE DAY could steal a march from pole draw. AFTER HOURS is moody but if deciding to run, could win. GOLDEN PROSPECT is having his third run after a rest and could get into the mix. NORDIC REBEL and ARCHIMIDES could get into the money.
Selections:
#8 Real Relief, #3 Slinky Mapimpi, #11 After Hours, #2 Golden Prospect
