RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2025.06.26
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120.000, 11:50GMT+2
Race Summary: LITTLEMISSMILLION won on debut over this distance and that experience should stand her in good stead. SCHIPOLE and WAITING ON CHARLIE won over slightly shorter but could have more to offer over this extended trip. LIMERICK LACE and LITTLEMISSSPLENDID are also open to improvement stretching out to this trip so could make their presence felt. SCARLETT HEART is the only maiden in the line-up but she finished second over this distance last time so isn’t underestimated, especially in receipt of 3kg.
Selections: #2 Littlemissmillion, #4 Schipole, #1 Limerick Lace, #3 Littlemisssplendid
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R130.000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: GOLDEN WARRIOR was a wide-margin winner over this trip last time but is held on earlier form by IDEAL SUMMER who has 3.20-lengths to find on familiar foe READ ALL ABOUT IT on the form of their recent 1400m meeting. TAKE NO PRISONERS also has a bit to find on that form but is open to any amount of improvement over this extended trip. ZALATORIS fits a similar profile and has shown promise in 3 sprints. Last-start winner TITANS OF WAR isn’t taken lightly.
Selections: #3 Read All About It, #2 Ideal Summer, #1 Golden Warrior, #6 Zalatoris
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R80.000, 13:00GMT+2
Race Summary: COPPOLA, CLARKSON and VIVA DE JANEIRO have the form and experience at this level to play leading roles, while SOVEREIGNS CALL may appreciate the step up to this trip for the first time and could also acquit himself competitively. UNSOLVED RIDDLE, GUERILLA WARFARE and SPY STORY aren’t out of it.
Selections: #5 Coppola, #11 Viva De Janeiro, #6 Sovereigns Call, #7 Clarkson
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R105.000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: BRIGHAM and NKWENKWEZI have found one better in recent starts and will likely play leading roles once more. However, both are vulnerable to less-exposed rival STAY TUNED who caught the eye on debut with a fast-finishing close-up third over 1400m and needn’t improve much to open his account with that experience to count on. AFTERBURN, LAVA COUNTY and TWO FOR THE BOYS appeal most of the remainder.
Selections: #7 Stay Tuned, #1 Brigham, #8 Nkwenkwezi, #2 Afterburn
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R95.000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: HOPSCOTCH could be rewarded for her consistency after finishing second in consecutive recent starts. Older rivals GOLDEN ALEXIA, ASIAH’S TIARA and BELLA BOOP BOOP have the form and experience to trouble the selection, though a bigger threat will likely come from fellow 2yo filly A BIT OF CLASS who would’ve benefitted from the experience of her encouraging debut.
Selections: #9 Hopscotch, #7 A Bit Of Class, #1 Golden Alexia, #3 Bella Boop Boop
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R110.000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: COSMIC QUEEN won a similar contest over this distance on the Standside track last month and a resultant 6-point penalty may not be enough to halt her progress. She’s good value to confirm her superiority over re-opposing rivals NIGHT VIGIL, KIA KAHA, QUASIKAT and SIMPLY MAJETIC, all of whom are weighted to pose more of a threat. ARTISTE acquitted herself competitively on her Highveld debut and should have a role to play with improvement expected in her peak outing.
Selections: #3 Cosmic Queen, #1 Night Vigil, #2 Artiste, #9 Kia Kaha
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Well-related debut winner GIMMEFORSURE is the only 2yo in the line-up but seems well placed to keep her unbeaten record intact. She has most scope for improvement and, with natural progress expected, should have the measure of hard-knocking rivals GAELIC DANCER, BEADED GOWN and TOGETHER AGAIN. Both MONTANA LIGHTS and JUST JAZZED UP also have room for improvement after a break.
Selections: #11 Gimmeforsure, #10 Gaelic Dancer, #1 Montana Lights, #13 Together Again
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R135.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: GUY GIBSON has battled to win but deserves to end his 565-day wait for a third career win. He ran on well to finish ahead of BOB’S YOUR UNCLE over 1160m recently and should confirm his superiority over that rival over this extended trip. BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW, last-start course-and-distance winner FRENCH BOLT and consistent 5yo mare IN THE BEGINNING all have the ability to trouble the selection. BUSTER BARNES is an interesting runner on his local debut after an 11-month absence and having relocated from Zimbabwe where he was prolific. Watch the betting market for clues to his chances.
Selections: #2 Guy Gibson, #5 Bob’s Your Uncle, #1 Busstopinhounslow, #3 Buster Barnes
Turffontein Inside, 26.06.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R120.000, 16:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Class-dropper ZIP CODE who acquitted himself well in a stronger race last time. A repeat performance could suffice. Consistent top-weight RICHARD THE FIRST, last-start winners KISSHOTEN and TURBO POWER, and hat-trick seeking SEA SHANTY ought to remain competitive too. Hard-knockers FOSTINOVO, STREISAND and BIRTHRIGHT aren’t underestimated.
Selections: #2 Zip Code, #4 Turbo Power, #7 Fostinovo, #13 Sea Shanty
Best Win: #7 STAY TUNED
Best Value Bet: #2 ZIP CODE
Best Longshot: #2 ZIP CODE
