Selections:
#5 Wild At War, #4 Sunset Riot, #2 Hair Trigger, #6 Queen Of Fire
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R95.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Only 6 runners and the pace could be important. SAY IT WITH ROSES is improving all the while and should contest the finish. DARLING HARBOUR hasn’t been far off and could threaten. ERUPT THE DAWN wasn’t disgraced on debut and will know more about it. PERFORM never performed last time but should do better. RED KNOT could find the Quartet.
Selections:
#1 Say It With Roses, #2 Darling Harbour, #6 Erupt The Dawn, #4 Perform
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R105.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: POLICY OF TRUTH should give account of himself and rates the one to beat on this his 9th attempt. MONTE BELLO (races before this) is on the up and could turn it around with BREATH OF MAGIC who shouldn’t be far behind. TWO MILES WEST is improving and could get into the reckoning. FOREST GOD can improve on his debut. Watch gelded newcomer MISHRAH.
Selections:
#2 Policy Of Truth, #10 Monte Bello, #3 Breath Of Magic, #1 Two Miles West
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R105.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: THING CALLED LOVE needed her last outing and should go close. ENCHANTING LADY has been costly to follow but she won’t be far off again. Similarly, WAITFORGREENLIGHT (claims 4kg) has disappointed but could challenge in this field. BREGARDT attracted serious money last time but failed to deliver.
Selections:
#6 Thing Called Love, #7 Waitforgreenlight, #5 Enchanting Lady, #4 Mr Blue Flame
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R85.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: IN THE ETHER is running well and has the form to double up this course and distance. RISKY BUSINESS could challenge if she finds cover early. SAHARA DAWN and stablemate CUE THE REBEL are sure to come on in heaps. SMELTING could get away from them at this track. BOSSY BOOTS comes off a maiden win and could make the frame.
Selections:
#4 In The Ether, #7 Risky Business, #3 Sahara Dawn, #8 Smelting
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R135.000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Stable companions TIME FO ORCHIDS and RAINBOW REWARD look the form runners but the latter comes off a break and could need it. The stable elect appears to be TIME FO ORCHIDS on jockey arrangements and top recent form. KINSHIN SHA, DREAMLAND and ON CUE could fight out Trifecta money.
Selections:
#2 Time Fo Orchids, #5 Rainbow Reward, #8 Dreamland, #9 On Cue
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R105.000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: The 1kg difference should bring GIMME THE FLAME and CERULEAN DANCER together on their recent meeting and a match race is expected. VIVA DE JANEIRO shouldn’t be too far behind them. ARCHIMIDES, KING RAHUL, GREEN SCEPTRE and MANDALAY could get into Quartets.
Selections:
#6 Gimme The Flame, #5 Cerulean Dancer, #7 Viva De Janeiro, #10 Mandalay
Turffontein Inside, 22.02.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R105.000, 16:40GMT+2

Old man NORDIC REBEL, relatively unknown WALLED GARDEN, consistent WILLOW EXPRESS, FAST DUTY (flew up late after a rest), MITCH GOT HIS WISH (better than recent form), SAGE KING (claims 4kg), SAMTHEWISEMAN (doing better) and COUNT YOUR CHANCES (running close up) are all in it.
Selections:
#3 Willow Express, #6 Fast Duty, #2 Walled Garden, #5 Sage King
Best Win: #6 THING CALLED LOVE
