RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2025.04.24
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120.000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: MATCHA MINT attracted outside betting support on debut and ran with promise against winners over a similar trip and will likely play a leading role with natural improvement expected. BACK FROM WAR and BRIGHT AND BRAZEN will be more competitive at this level after running in a feature last time. Returning WAITING ON CHARLIE, YENTYL (tongue-tie removed) and well-bred newcomers MANURIKI and SHIMMERING complete the shortlist.
Selections: #5 Matcha Mint, #3 Bright And Brazen, #2 Back From War, #8 Waiting On Charlie
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R130.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Fillies VIPINGO and PRINCESS KEIRA receive a handy 2.5kg sex allowance and have both the form and experience to give their male rivals something to fear. Well-bred first-timers ALPHA WORLD, BALULE, ZALATORIS, GEOSTORM and ON AN IMPULSE must be monitored in the betting and market support would speak volumes of their chances on debut.
Selections: #9 Vipingo, #8 Princess Keira, #4 Geostorm, #1 Alpha World
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: WINDS OF GRACE and CONCORDIA appeal most of those with experience, though preference is for the younger latter who needn’t improve much over this extended trip to open her account. ON A JET PLANE, MILO’S MILLIONAIRE and newcomer WITCHING HOUR complete the shortlist in a race that won’t take much winning.
Selections: #7 Concordia, #2 Winds Of Grace, #10 Witching Hour, #3 Milo’s Millionaire
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R120.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: CURTISS CONDOR caught the eye when a fast-finishing third on debut over 1200m and on the evidence of that display, this extended trip with that experience to count on should serve his interests. GOLDEN ALEXIA, AMANATTO and youngster MIGHTY EAGLE have shown enough to trouble the selection while MISS TAKES is another open to improvement, especially over the longer trip he is bred to appreciate.
Selections: #2 Curtiss Condor, #8 Mighty Eagle, #4 Miss Takes, #5 Golden Alexia
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R135.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: TOO LATE MY MATE acquitted herself well at a higher level against males last time. She races off a reduced mark with first-time cheekpieces fitted and needs only to produce a similar performance against her own sex to resume winning ways. Fellow 3yo filly GLAMOROUS LADY also bounced back to form last time out and will likely have a role to play if repeating that display. MISS HANNIGAN, SOLDIER’S EYE, ONE RELIGION, ELEMBEE and PRINCESS ILARIA are consistent hard-knockers with the ability to trouble their younger rivals.
Selections: #3 Too Late My Mate, #2 Soldier’s Eye, #5 Glamorous Lady, #1 Miss Hannigan
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R105.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Improving last-start winners WAGRAM and TANA MAREE are genuine candidates for success on handicap debut. The latter opened her account over track and trip last month so is slightly preferred with that experience to count on. Fellow recent scorers SECRET RECIPE and GHOSTBUSTER are lightly raced 5yo mares with the form and experience to make their presence felt. STREISAND and PERINI PALACE are others with legitimate Eachway claims. COUNT YOUR CHANCES has earning potential too.
Selections: #3 Wagram, #5 Tana Maree, #6 Streisand, #7 Ghostbuster
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90.000, 15:32GMT+2
Race Summary: Veteran WHISPERS OF WAR has found form and consistency since dropped in the ratings and has won over this distance, so he gets the nod ahead of fellow hard-knockers CARNELO, STORM AHEAD, GAMER and JAPANESE MAPLE. Last-start scorer HAT FURIOUS landed a betting coup on his reappearance seven weeks ago and cannot be underestimated.
Selections: #4 Whispers Of War, #7 Hat Furious, #2 Carnelo, #6 Gamer
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100.000, 16:07GMT+2
Race Summary: Consistent BOSUM BUDDY has the form and experience to fight out the finish but concedes weight to all. Fellow 3yo filly HEAVYLIESTHECROWN showed a willing and professional attitude when making a winning track-and-trip debut and she would’ve come on appreciably, so it could pay to follow her progress. Stablemate HALCYON and the returning PENNSYLVANIA (gelded) are lightly raced male rivals with scope to improve so they could also have roles to play.
Selections: #4 Heavyliesthecrown, #1 Bosum Buddy, #3 Halcyon, #2 Pennsylvania
Turffontein Inside, 24.04.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100.000, 16:42GMT+2
Race Summary: This looks a good opportunity for THERE SHE GOES to be rewarded for consistency, especially after consecutive unlucky third-place finishes off a higher mark and over slightly shorter on the Standside track. She is awkwardly drawn but the addition of first-time pacifiers could prove a masterstroke. Stablemates TWICE AS WILD and ORIENTAL BOUQUET are consistent with the ability to have a say in the outcome. The former is ideally positioned in gate 1 whereas the latter is unfavourably drawn in the widest stall. KOTINOS, NAZARE and SAHARA DAWN appeal most of the remainder.
Selections: #7 There She Goes, #12 Twice As Wild, #5 Kotinos, #10 Oriental Bouquet
Best Win: #4 HEAVYLIESTHECROWN
Best Value Bet: #4 WHISPERS OF WAR
Best Longshot: #4 WHISPERS OF WAR
