RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE@2026.03.07
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R105.000, 11:30GMT+2
Race Summary: POWER OF PEARLS has been in the money in all 9 starts and could get her overdue victory. DETAILED FORECAST has been costly to follow in all 4 starts but looks ready for her just reward. ONCEINABLUEMOON is rarely far off the winner and is looking for Trifecta money.
Selections: #1 Power Of Pearls, #3 Onceinabluemoon, #2 Detailed Forecast, #7 Banana Split
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R120.000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: HIGHWAYMAN HARRY attracts strong support but has been costly to follow. He could get it right. ARIZONA MAGIC has improved somewhat in blinkers and can get into the reckoning. Newcomers GREENANDGOLD and COOL GAMBLER were costly purchases and are worth a market check on debut.
Selections: #1 Highwayman Harry, #5 Cool Gambler, #11 Greenandgold, #2 Arizona Magic
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R200.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: WORLD ATTRACTION could hardly have been more impressive when winning on debut and with any improvement, should remain undefeated. Unbeaten filly VOLCANIC HEAT and promising last-start winner GIMME A VODKA will likely pose the biggest threat. SPIRIT OF GABZ has the form and experience to take home a cheque.
Selections: #3 World Attraction, #4 Volcanic Heat, #1 Gimme A Vodka, #2 Spirit Of Gabz
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R200.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: GRISELDA and SECRETARY BIRD confirmed the promise of encouraging debut efforts by winning last time out, and they should be competitive with improvement expected. LANZAROTE and STAGGERWING get 3kg from those rivals and are weighted to make their presence felt.
Selections: #2 Griselda, #7 Lanzarote, #4 Secretary Bird, #9 Staggerwing
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R250.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Consistent WILLY MEET AGAIN reverts to same-sex company and is weighted to play a leading role. WARM RECEPTION has solid form credentials at this level and could get right into the mix. ACCEPT COOKIES and KISSHOTEN are others who can have a say in the outcome.
Selections: #2 Willy Meet Again, #9 Warm Reception, #1 Kisshoten, #10 Accept Cookies
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R1.250.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: HAZY DAZY was an authoritative winner of Leg 1 of the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara over 1600m and this extended trip will be more to her liking. CHARGE IT (2nd) and LITTLEMISSMILLION (5th) are held on that form but could get closer with the extra 200m also likely to suit. GOLDEN PALM (3rd), LOWVELD LILY (4th), DAISY JONES (6th) and DRUMNADROCHIT (7th) have a bit to find but can take home a cheque.
Selections: #1 Hazy Dazy, #3 Charge It, #5 Littlemissmillion, #2 Golden Palm
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R1.500.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Stellar cast headed by multiple Grade 1 winner JAN VAN GOYEN whose colours were lowered by older rivals last time. He should, however, prove an entirely different proposition back on the Highveld and against his own age group. Stablemates SPLITTHEEIGHTS, winner of Leg 1 of the TAB SA Triple Crown, and ONE EYE ON VEGAS (4th) are closely matched on their Guineas meeting and there shouldn’t be much between them again, though the same applies to runner-up GRAND EMPIRE and 3rd-place finisher TRUST – both could have more to offer over the extra 200m.
Selections: #1 Jan Van Goyen, #2 Splittheeights, #3 Grand Empire, #4 Trust
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R1.500.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Top-class visitors SEE IT AGAIN and THE REAL PRINCE have a score to settle after a few close encounters in the Western Cape recently. The latter edged their L’Ormarins King’s Plate meeting over this trip but the former avenged that narrow defeat in the WSB Cape Town Met over 2000m, and a stiff 1600m could be more to his liking. Grade 1 winner and recent Grade 3 scorer FIRE ATTACK all have the means to make the presence felt. However, a bigger threat may come from the sole 3yo TIN PAN ALLEY.
Selections: #2 See It Again, #3 The Real Prince, #6 Fire Attack, #9 Tin Pan Alley
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R300.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Progressive hat-trick seeker TAXI TO THE MOON whose outside draw in a big field will aid his cause. CONSTELLATION, MOUNT PINATUBO and last-start winner GREEN DIAMOND are also ideally positioned and weighted to be competitive.
Selections: #3 Taxi To The Moon, #7 Mount Pinatubo, #6 Constellation, #13 Green Diamond
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R145.000, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: PRECOCIOUS has thrived since relocating to the Highveld and a 6-point penalty for her hat-trick win shouldn’t prevent another forward showing, especially with her rider taking 4kg off the back. In-form POBLANO and unexposed MANYELETI have the means to fight out the finish but concede weight to the selection. ALPINE JET isn’t without chances either.
Selections: #2 Precocious, #1 Poblano, #5 Manyeleti, #4 Alpine Jet
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 11, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R135.000, 17:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PRETTY PERSUASIVE made no impression from the widest draw in a 1600m 3yo Grade 2 last time but she should fare better at this level, even off a 6-point higher mark. Older rivals HONG KONG, THAT’S MY BABY and TOO LATE MY MATE have the form and experience at this level to threaten the selection.
Selections: #5 Pretty Persuasive, #6 Hong Kong, #3 That’s My Baby, #8 Too Late My Mate
Turffontein Standside, 07.03.2026, Race 12, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R105.000, 18:00GMT+2
Race Summary: TRAIL RUNNER got the better of TRADITIONAL BELIEF (on debut) in a 1160m maiden but is 2kg worse off and engaged to run at an earlier meeting. QUIET WINTER is open to any amount of improvement over this extended trip but is awkwardly positioned in wide starting berths. Older fillies PRINCESS ILARIA has the means to get into the picture too.
Selections: #9 Traditional Belief, #5 Trail Runner, #7 Quiet Winter, #2 Princess Ilaria
Best Win: #1 HAZY DAZY
Best Value Bet: #2 WILLY MEET AGAIN
Best Longshot: #2 WILLY MEET AGAIN
