RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2025.09.06
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R105.000, 12:10GMT+2
Race Summary: ALPHA WORLD was a beaten short-priced favourite last month but there were legitimate excuses that day and a return to this shorter trip in his peak outing could suit. MIDNIGHT FLYER and STONE OF SCONE have shown enough to fight for victory and will likely play leading roles. ACTUARY has scope to improve and could get into the picture too. Watch the betting on newcomers NEBRASKA, BOOM TOWN and HIMITSU.
Selections: #1 Alpha World, #5 Midnight Flyer, #2 Actuary, #7 Stone Of Scone
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R75.000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: PRINCESS LOLA and MISTY METAL have dropped to competitive marks and should hold their own off their current ratings. However, the latter is held on recent form by consistent TIME FOR CHARITY who is the only previous course-and-distance winner in the race. Recent scorer SHEETS AND GOGGLES and hard-knocker GODSPEED are competitive off their current ratings and have both the form and experience to have a say at the finish.
Selections: #3 Time For Charity, #2 Misty Metal, #1 Princess Lola, #6 Sheets And Goggles
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R95.000, 13:20GMT+2
Race Summary: FISH HAWK caught the eye on debut when staying on strongly to finish 2nd over 1000m and this extended trip, with that experience under the belt, should be more to her liking. SMART STAR, KORCULA and FALCON’S SUNRISE will know more about it after satisfactory introductions so they could improve to make their presence felt. However, a bigger threat to the selection will likely come from one of the newcomers. Watch the betting on QUEEN OF PEARLS, BAKSHEESH, ALLEYAH’S ROCKET and UNIVERSAL GIRL.
Selections: #9 Fish Hawk, #7 Baksheesh, #11 Queen Of Pearls, #4 Universal Girl
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R105.000, 13:55GMT+2
Race Summary: ARIZONA MAGIC ran on strongly once getting the hang of it on debut over 1000m and this extended trip, with that experience under the belt, will be more to his liking. Maturing SEED SEEKER, recently gelded UBERMENSCH, likely improver DISTRICT ATTORNEY and returning SAY A WISH have earning potential but newcomers ONE EYE ON VEGAS and well-related TRUST will likely pose more of a threat.
Selections: #3 Arizona Magic, #6 One Eye On Vegas, #7 Trust, #8 Say A Wish
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R105.000, 14:30GMT+2
Race Summary: FOLLOW THE MASTER has been costly to follow but deserves to get his head in front after finishing 2nd in 3 consecutive recent outings. WORLD ORDER improved to finish a game-in-defeat 2nd last time and a repeat of that performance over this trip will likely suffice. BEST CANDIDATE, ON AN IMPULSE and TRURO LEGACY are likely improvers trying extended trip so they aren’t taken lightly.
Selections: #5 World Order, #1 Follow The Master, #8 Truro Legacy, #3 Cuzzie
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R95.000, 15:08GMT+2
Race Summary: SPECIAL STAR was making her debut when finishing 1.30 lengths behind WITCHING HOUR, with whom she renews rivalry on similar weight terms, over 1600m. Both remain open to improvement over the extra 200m so they could fight out the finish. MADAME POMPADOUR, REJUVENATE and SAPPHIRE SUN have the form and experience to make their presence felt too.
Selections: #3 Witching Hour, #8 Special Star, #1 Madame Pompadour, #5 Sapphire Sun
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R150.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: CALLMEGETRIX is an interesting proposition on her Highveld and stable debut. She is distance suited and the best-weighted runner in the race. However, thriving ARGO ALLEY is hard to oppose in current form. St John Gray’s charge has gone from strength to strength recently and was only touched off in a similar contest last time off his current (career-high) mark. Returning ROYAL FORCE is open to any amount of improvement on his reappearance, so he must be respected. Stablemate WILD INTENT fits a similar profile but is probably better over further. TEXAS RED and MELECH complete the shortlist.
Selections: #6 Argo Alley, #5 Callmegetrix, #7 Royal Force, #3 Melech
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R135.000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: KARATE KID was a fast-finishing 2nd over 1000m at this venue last time and this extended trip in his peak outing should be more to his liking. Hat-trick seeking GIMMETHEGOODLIFE, maturing last-start winners ESPINOZA and READY SET FIRE, and hard-knocker PASSAGE OF POWER have the means to acquit themselves competitively too. However, returning filly ARASHI (3rd in a 2yo Grade 2 when last seen) and consistent NYAKA NYAKA are improving and likely to play a role in the outcome.
Selections: #1 Karate Kid, #8 Arashi, #9 Nyaka Nyaka, #7 Ready Set Fire
Turffontein Inside, 06.09.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120.000, 16:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Last-start winners HEMISPHERE and IT’S PERSONAL are closely matched on earlier form and they will likely play leading roles. However, the step up to this trip could unlock sufficient improvement from recent runner-up BUMPS LAST GRIND who was a fast-finishing 2nd at this level last time over 1000m. VIBE SA will appreciate a return to this distance and could make his presence felt too. DRIVELIKEAMASTER is unexposed and not underestimated on his reappearance.
Selections: #7 Bumps Last Grind, #5 It’s Personal, #4 Hemisphere, #2 Vibe Sa
Best Win: #3 TIME FOR CHARITY
Best Value Bet: #6 ARGO ALLEY
Best Longshot: #6 ARGO ALLEY
