Race Summary: STAGGERWING, PLATINUM SHAY and ENERGIA would have benefitted from the experience of pleasing introductions and should improve to be competitive. MOOSALEKKA and NORTHERN EUROPEAN could also make their presence felt if building on improved last starts. Newcomers GET UP, GRANDE HAWAII and FORRIES FAVOURITE are worth a market check.
Selections: #10 Staggerwing, #3 Get Up, #4 Grande Hawaii, #1 Energia
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1250m, Turf, R125,000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: EBISU has been rested for 140 days, she stayed on well for third behind Calanque at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 27th of September, she is a young filly with lots of ability, if she doesn’t need the run badly on Saturday, she will be hard to beat. EPERNAY has been rested for 84 days, she ran a great race on debut behind One Dance on the 22nd of November, with natural improvement expected from this beautiful filly, she must have a big winning chance in this field. MEGHAN’S DIAMOND finished just over seven lengths behind Raffish Trend on the 21st of January, she was badly drawn on that occasion, from a good draw on Saturday, she will be competitive. RARE EARTH will need lots of luck in running from a poor draw, if the gaps open at the right time, she might be able to sneak into the places.
Selections: #2 EBISU, #4 EPERNAY, #1 MEGHAN’S DIAMOND, #10 RARE EARTH
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R130.000, 13:00GMT+2
Race Summary: PRAYERSANDPROMISES was backed on debut and showed speed throughout to finish a close-up 3rd. He is open to any amount of improvement with that experience under the belt so could be hard to beat. Both SHERLOCK HOLMES and DEAR DOC fit a similar profile so they could improve to fight out the finish. EHHFIFTEENKJOE could also have a role to play if confirming the improvement of his latest outing.
Selections: #7 Prayersandpromises, #3 Dear Doc, #8 Sherlock Holmes, #4 Ehhfifteenkjoe
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: IONA CASTLE ran a lovely race for second behind South Of France on the 17th of January, she is honest and she tries hard, she will be hard to beat, this looks to be the right race for her. PEACHES AND CREAM has been rested for 66 days, she was doing some good work late for fifth behind Her World on the 10th of December, the blinkers have been fitted, she will be competitive on her best form. HAZEL GREEN never runs a bad race, she stayed on well for third behind Seven No Trump on the 13th of January, there is no doubt she will be right there in the finish again, include her into all bets. REDLIGHT LANE ran a much better race on the 17th of January, she ran third behind South Of France and she was only beaten just over one length at the line, from a good draw, she should be amongst the places.
Selections: #9 IONA CASTLE, #5 PEACHES AND CREAM, #7 HAZEL GREEN, #2 REDLIGHT LANE
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R105.000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: MISS FANTASTIC justified betting support when running to finish a close-up 3rd on debut and she should play a leading role with natural improvement. TRADITIONAL BELIEF and WISPINTHEWILLOW also made promising introductions and will know more about it this time round. Newcomers PURPLE RAIN and MIRACULOUS MOMENT are attractively bred and could have a say in outcome, especially if the market speaks in their favour. VYFSTER is another well-bred first-timer worth keeping an eye on.
Selections: #5 Miss Fantastic, #7 Purple Rain, #8 Traditional Belief, #1 Detailed Forecast
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: BONELLI must have a big winning chance in this field, he caught the eye late for second behind Prairie Dawn on the 21st of January at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, if he brings that performance to the races again, he will go close. PROTECTOR OF PEACE has run four good races in succession, he stayed on well for third behind Wave Of Glory on the 4th of January, he should enjoy the step up in trip to 1600m on Saturday, include him into all bets. DOUBLE DISTILLED quickened up nicely to run a good race behind Midway on the 21st of January, even though he is well tried in the maiden ranks, he looks to be in a good space at the moment, on his best form, he could make the finish interesting. OH SO ONEDERFUL ran a much better race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 17th of January, he ran second in a driving finish behind Meet The King, it was his first run over some ground, the extra 200m on Saturday will help his chances, watch him closely.
Selections: #7 BONELLI, #3 PROTECTOR OF PEACE, #6 DOUBLE DISTILLED, #4 OH SO ONEDERFUL
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R120.000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Improving TASKMASTER sets the standard on all exposed form and won’t need to improve much on his last-start 2nd to open his account. SKY PILOT, recently gelded STOKESY, and SCORPIO have the form and experience to acquit themselves competitively too. However, well-related WARNING LIGHT is bred to be useful and any market support would speak volumes of his chances on debut. Watch the betting!
Selections: #3 Taskmaster, #8 Warning Light, #1 Sky Pilot, #4 Scorpio
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: JOU LEKKER DING has run two good races in succession, she quickened up smartly to finish third behind Dream Searcher on the 4th of January, the form of that race has worked out well, she will go close to winning from a good draw on Saturday. AMAYAH won her maiden impressively on the 21st of January, she is a beautiful looking filly with a great action, she can only improve with every start, include her into all bets. LARK’S SONG was given a great ride by jockey Andrew Fortune on the 13th of January at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she won a good race beating Homing Pigeon by a long neck, she is very well-bred, there is no doubt she will keep improving with more racing, watch her closely. HER WORLD has been rested for 66 days, she quickened up well to win a good race on the 10th of December, the blinkers have been fitted on Saturday, she will be storming home late.
Selections: #1 JOU LEKKER DING, #3 AMAYAH, #7 LARK’S SONG, #6 HER WORLD
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R150.000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: CHAMPION WARRIOR and PAUL REVERE won at a higher level last time out so are likely to remain competitive in this grade, even under resultant penalties. The latter is worse off at the weights with SUNSET RIOT and DANTONFROMSANDTON, which brings those rivals into contention. Lightly raced IT’S PERSONAL is open to any amount of improvement stretching out to this trip for the first time so he may represent the value under 54.5kg. Stablemate SUPER AWESOME will relish this extended trip under bottom weight. Last-start winner SUTHERLAND and hard-knocker SALUTE THE FLAG have claims too.
Selections: #7 It’s Personal, #9 Sutherland, #4 Sunset Riot, #8 Paul Revere
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: GRAVITY won well at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 21st of January, he was given five points for that win, if he gets some luck in running from a tricky draw on Saturday, he will go close to winning again. COUNTRY TIME was eating up the ground late behind Gravity last time, she ran a super race, now that she is better off at the weights, and she has a good draw, she definitely has a winning chance. SICILY had absolutely no luck in running behind Gravity on the 21st of January, he was a long way back turning for home, and the gaps only opened up late for him when he was low flying for third, he should get the run of the race on Saturday from a good draw, watch him closely. BONNE BOUCHE has run some fair races of late, jockey Andrew Fortune sticks with this mare, she has dropped even further in the ratings, if she gets away from the field at the right time, she will be hard to peg back.
Selections: #8 GRAVITY, #3 COUNTRY TIME, #1 SICILY, #7 BONNE BOUCHE
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Consistent PEREGRINE FALCON was an unlucky 3rd over 1200m last time when fitted with blinkers for the first time. He was 2nd over this course and distance in his previous outing and a repeat of that performance with the headgear retained should suffice, especially with the aid of his rider’s 1.5kg allowance. OKLAHOMA SMOKESHOW is better off at the weights so should give the selection most to fear from gate No 1 under a 4kg claimer. Hard-knockers COMMANDER OF ALL, VAVA VEGAS and MOCHA FRAPPE can get involved too, along with handicap debutante (last-start maiden winner) WINDS OF GRACE.
Selections: #1 Peregrine Falcon, #7 Oklahoma Smokeshow, #2 Mocha Frappe, #9 Vava Vegas
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R135,000, 15:40GMT+2
Race Summary: MARKETA has been rested for 91 days, she is much better than her recent form, the tongue tie has been removed, she is a speedy filly with lots of ability, if she bounces back to her best form from a good draw on Saturday, she can win a race like this. ALL IS GREEN stayed on well for third behind Dame Of Trix on the 13th of January at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, the blinkers stay on, she definitely has a winning chance on her best form. SAACHI ONE ran a much better race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 21st of January, she finished just under three lengths behind Wyze Declaration, she has dropped further in the ratings, and she has a good draw, watch for a big performance from this filly. WILLIAM’S WOMAN ran fifth in the same race as Saachi One last time, she has a low weight on her back on Saturday, and she has a neat draw, she will be there amongst the places at a decent price.
Selections: #1 MARKETA, #6 ALL IS GREEN, #4 SAACHI ONE, #3 WILLIAM’S WOMAN
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R400.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Grade 3 feature in which FIRE ATTACK sets the standard and official ratings and on favourable weight terms. However, he returns from the Western Cape where he contested a prestigious Grade 1 so it remains to be seen what that race and travel took out of him. On their meeting in the Grade 1 Summer Cup over 2000m, OLIVIA’S WAY should pose more of a threat to the selection on these terms than THE ULTIMATE KING and BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW (blinker strike). WILLY MEET AGAIN and PIONEER SQUARE have earning potential too.
Selections: #1 Fire Attack, #6 Olivia’s Way, #2 The Ultimate King, #7 Willy Meet Again
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1250m, Turf, R80,000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY LOOK ALIKE finished just under two lengths behind Black Path on the 17th of January, she drops in trip on Saturday, and she has dropped further in the ratings, on her best form, she can win a race like this quite easily. STAR WORLD caught the eye late for third behind Wyze Declaration on the 21st of January, she absolutely loves Hollywoodbets Durbanville, top jockey Richard Fourie sticks with this filly from a good draw, she will go close to winning. BLACK ERIKA stayed on nicely for third behind True Horizon on the 4th of January, she is a young filly that is improving with racing, if the gaps open at the right time, she will be competitive. DU MAURIER drifted in the market badly last time, she finished just under two lengths behind Worldly on the 13th of January, she has dropped further in the ratings, and she has a good draw, watch for big improvement.
Selections: #4 LADY LOOK ALIKE, #3 STAR WORLD, #7 BLACK ERIKA, #2 DU MAURIER
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R155.000, 16:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Cases can be made for most of these, though none appeals more than NIGHT BOMBER whose 1000m reappearance was encouraging and gave the impression that this extended trip will suit. Last-start winners THE SPECIALIST and ROLLWITHTHEPUNCHES remain competitive under 3-point penalties but respective runners-up SLINKY MAPIMPI and GIMMETHEGOODLIFE are better off at the weights so will likely make their presence felt on these terms. FROZEN FANTASY has recent course-and-distance form at this level and should have a role to play, even against male opposition. JERUSALEMA RAIN is dangerous to discount.
Selections: #6 Night Bomber, #4 Frozen Fantasy, #8 The Specialist, #1 Slinky Mapimpi
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R175,000, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: JET FORCE is much better than his run in the Grade 1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate, he finished just over six lengths behind The Real Prince, even though he has a tricky draw here, he is very smart, with some luck in running, he will be hard to beat. BEWARE quickened up well to finish just under one length behind Roland Garros on the 10th of January, the yard thinks highly of this colt, he will be competitive from a good draw. POWERANDTHEGLORY must have a good each way chance in this field, he ran a great race for second behind Snow Pilot on the 31st of January, he is a beautiful looking gelding, include him into all bets. CAPTAIN WEST was heavily backed in the market when finishing fourth behind Kinda Wonderful on the 4th of January, he has dropped in the ratings, and the blinkers have been fitted, watch him closely.
Selections: #8 JET FORCE, #5 BEWARE, #6 POWERANDTHEGLORY, #3 CAPTAIN WEST
Turffontein Standside, 14.02.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R100.000, 17:05GMT+2
Race Summary: CAPTAIN SELVIE has solid recent form at a higher level, albeit in same-sex company. She races off an unchanged mark so will likely play a leading role, even against male opposition. ONE TIGER, ROYAL HORIZON and READY SET FIRE have the form and experience in this grade to pose a threat. However, recent course-and-distance maiden scorer SPACE MISSION could give the selection most to fear. He made marked improvement in first-time blinkers and remains open to further to progress on handicap debut with the headgear retained. Hard-knocker LONGSWORD isn’t underestimated either off his reduced mark.
Selections: #1 Captain Selvie, #9 Space Mission, #3 Longsword, #13 Royal Horizon
HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE, 14.02.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R145,000, 17:25GMT+2
Race Summary: IT IS MY TIME ran a lovely race for fourth behind Foudre on the 4th of January at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he looks to be in a good space at the moment, the drop in trip to 1400m is key for this gelding on Saturday, he will go very close to winning. BOOGIEFIED has been rested for 108 days, he never runs a bad race, he was just touched off last time by Fox On The Run, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will be right there in the finish. IRELAND FOREVER is much better than his last start, he finished just over four lengths behind Kelp Forest on the 10th of January, he will be switched off early from a bad draw, and he will be storming home late, include him into all bets. CARRIACOU has been rested for 63 days, ignore his last run, he finished just over nine lengths behind Mente Et Manu on the 13th of December, the drop in trip to 1400m will help this gelding, if he gets the right run, he will be competitive at a decent price.
Selections: #3 IT IS MY TIME, #7 BOOGIEFIED, #11 IRELAND FOREVER, #9 CARRIACOU
Best Win: #1 PEREGRINE FALCON #2 EBISU
Best Value Bet: #7 IT’S PERSONAL #3 IT IS MY TIME
Best Longshot: #7 IT’S PERSONAL
