RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2026.02.12
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: UBERMENSCH is the form choice and rates hard to oppose but if debutante SHIVERING LIGHT is supported then expect her to threaten. LANCE ALOT ran below form in his last two but could produce his best. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN should know more about it.
Selections: #2 Ubermensch, #10 Shivering Light, #1 Lance Alot, #7 Lookout Mountain
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: HOT COCOA showed good improvement in blinkers and should be right there. POWER OF PEARLS is overdue a victory and should be involved again. GIMMESUMLUV should have gained more experience now and will be competitive. EMERALD COUNTESS is looking for Trifecta money.
Selections: #10 Gimmesumluv, #1 Hot Cocoa, #2 Power Of Pearls, #3 Emerald Countess
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R130.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Cracking contest between 2 highly regarded 3yo’s, QUICKFREEZE and SPEEDMAN. The former put his older rivals to the sword when winning over this trip last time and it is encouraging that jockey Craig Zackey sticks with him instead of the latter, who lost little in defeat when beaten for the first time in his most recent outing at a higher level. Returning last-start scorer GOLDEN OPERATOR remains open to improvement in his second appearance as a gelding. Class-dropper BELIEVE IN FATE may also have more to offer stretching out to this trip in his peak outing.
Selections: #1 Quickfreeze, #2 Speedman, #6 Golden Operator, #7 Believe In Fate
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R125.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: AGOGE bounced back from a disappointing no-show in a 3yo feature with an impressive last-start win under a big weight against older opposition. This extended trip will unlock further improvement, so a resultant 8-point penalty may not be enough to prevent him from following up. MASTER SPY also remains open to improvement after a winning 3yo reappearance over a shorter trip. BUDDY BOY (first-time blinkers) can make their presence felt too, while veterans ARUMUGAM have earning potential too.
Selections: #2 Agoge, #8 Master Spy, #4 Buddy Boy, #5 Arumugam
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R155.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: TAEGAN’S CHAMP improved in first-time blinkers to win his last start and he could have more to give off an unchanged mark with the headgear retained. SOLDIER’S EYE weren’t disgraced in staying feature races last time and could give a more competitive account of themselves in these calmer waters. Last-start scorers ROBERT BROWNING and ONE MORE STAR remain competitive off their revised marks.
Selections: #1 Taegan’s Champ, #4 Soldier’s Eye, #8 Robert Browning, #9 One More Star
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Several of these are closely matched on recent form but TIME FOR CHARITY should have the measure again of IN THE ETHER. Class-droppers TIGER STORM and TIME WILL TELL should be right in the thick of things too.
Selections: #6 Time For Charity, #1 Tiger Storm, #4 Time Will Tell, #3 In The Ether
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R135.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: HONG KONG and SONIC JET won similar contests last time out, and both should remain competitive off their revised marks. However, the latter is 4.5kg worse off with BLIND AMBITION who represents the value in the race on these weight terms, while unexposed MALIBU could have more to offer stretching out to this trip.
Selections: #4 Blind Ambition, #5 Hong Kong, #1 Sonic Jet, #8 Malibu
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Last-start winners PLAY WITH THE WIND and VAMANOS could fight out the finish, despite penalties for their recent successes. The progressive latter has experience over this distance so gets the nod. BRIGHT AND BRAZEN and WAITING ON CHARLIE have the form and experience to make their presence felt.
Selections: #2 Vamanos, #1 Play With The Wind, #7 Waiting On Charlie, #3 Bright And Brazen
Best Win: #6 TIME FOR CHARITY
Best Value Bet: #4 BLIND AMBITION
Best Longshot: #4 BLIND AMBITION
