RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2026.03.19
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R95.000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: TWELFTH OF NEVER has improved with each outing and stayed on to finish a career-best third over a shorter trip last time after a break. With further progress expected over this extended distance, she could open her account. BLOOD OF EDEN and stablemate VIXENINTHEVINEYARD have less scope than the selection but have the form and experience to pose a threat.
Selections: #1 Twelfth Of Never, #3 Vixeninthevineyard, #2 Blood Of Eden, #4 Cool Reggae
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R120.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: TERRENCE, ROYALE JACKET and SAMUEL SHARPE are closely matched on the form of a recent meeting over 1700m and there shouldn’t be much separating them over this extended trip. However, the latter is better off at the weights with the benefit of his rider’s 4kg allowance. LANCE ALOT and ROCK MY BOAT have also shown enough to get into the picture.
Selections: #2 Terrence, #3 Samuel Sharpe, #1 Royale Jacket, #6 Rock My Boat
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MAJOR ARCANA caught the eye when staying on to finish second after a break. He would have tightened up since and, from an inside gate, won’t need to improve much over this shorter trip to go one better. BRIGITTE ANNE fits a similar profile after a last-start second but she returns following a 10-week break. WISPINTHEWILLOW had excuses for disappointing last time but should make her presence felt if bouncing back to earlier form. WILLOW CHARM and TIGER’S CAPTAIN complete the shortlist.
Selections: #2 Major Arcana, #7 Brigitte Anne, #1 Willow Charm, #9 Wispinthewillow
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R105.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: MISS RIVER DANCER, TAKEACHANCEONME and TRIP OF FAITH would’ve benefitted from encouraging introductions and will likely improve to fight out the finish. MONEY GALORE and GATHERING WINTER could have more to offer after relocating. WITHOUT REMORSE had excuses for her underwhelming Highveld debut but she would have come on since.
Selections: #8 Miss River Dancer, #11 Trip Of Faith, #10 Takeachanceonme, #4 Money Galore
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R130.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: TINTIN beat GOT THE FEELING in a course-and-distance meeting last week. Both remain competitive but their participation may be in doubt. BJORN IRONSIDE has good sprint form at a higher level so has to be respected in this grade, even over the extended trip. Last-start winner FATHER CHRISTMAS and recent runner-up over track and trip DRIVELIKEAMASTER have the means to stake a claim too.
Selections: #3 Tintin, #1 Bjorn Ironside, #5 Drivelikeamaster, #4 Father Christmas
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R125.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Well-bred WARNING LIGHT impressed when winning on debut over 1160m and the step up to this trip, with that experience under the belt, should be more to his liking. PAUL REVERE beat a stronger field last time so a 2-point penalty isn’t likely to prevent another forward showing at this level, especially with the aid of his rider’s 4kg allowance. Last-start course-and-distance winner FOSTINOVO also remains competitive under a penalty. ENSUING, SUTHERLAND and CHIEFTAIN’S SHIELD appeal most of the remainder.
Selections: #5 Warning Light, #3 Paul Revere, #6 Fostinovo, #4 Sutherland
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R90.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: KAMBATI was a wide-margin winner of a course-and-distance maiden recently under the same 4kg apprentice. He ran on strongly from the rear that day so will likely be dropped out from the widest draw. Fellow last-start maiden scorer SOUTHAMPTON made a winning Highveld debut over further but she is ideally positioned in gate one to play a role in the outcome. Returning SINGLE COMBAT, hard-knocker MICHAEL FARADAY and consistent BLOOMINGTON also have the means to make their presence felt.
Selections: #4 Kambati, #3 Southampton, #10 Commander Of All, #8 Sunset Warrior
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R90.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: UNSOLVED RIDDLE, ELUSIVE RED and BRAVE VIKING are proven at this level and competitive off their current marks. Consistent CAN’T CATCH ME and lightly raced SPACE MISSION are better than their disappointing last starts suggest and could have a say if bouncing back to earlier form. However, it could pay to side with WINDS OF GRACE who deserves to get her head in front again after having finished second in both post-maiden appearances.
Selections: #7 Winds Of Grace, #2 Unsolved Riddle, #4 Brave Viking, #3 Elusive Red
Turffontein Inside, 19.03.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: STATUS confirmed the promise of his 1450m debut third in December 2024 with a dominant winning reappearance (as a gelding) from the front over 1600m. He is open to any amount of improvement and, as a 4yo, is probably better than his opening mark. CARNELO wouldn’t be winning out of turn after 3 consecutive second-place finishes but an awkward 12 draw does his chances no favours. Hard-knockers REPETITION, REAL STUNNER and veteran BANHA BRIDGE have the form and experience at this level to make their presence felt too. WE ARE THE LOGANS can earn.
Selections: #2 Status, #7 Carnelo, #1 Repetition, #4 Real Stunner
Best Win: #2 STATUS
Best Value Bet: #7 WINDS OF GRACE
Best Longshot: #7 WINDS OF GRACE
