RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2026.09.19
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R115.000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: RAZZPATH REBEL outran market expectations when 2nd on debut over track and trip behind a fellow newcomer from the same stable. He would have benefitted from that experience and should improve to fight out the finish. THE KID made good late headway once the penny had dropped to finish 3rd on debut over 1000m and this extended trip should be more to his liking, especially with alumites fitted and that experience to count on. TENAREEF has been costly to follow but wouldn’t be winning out of turn either. THEODORE ROOSEVELD has shown enough to make his presence felt too.
Selections: #6 Razzpath Rebel, #2 Tenareef, #7 The Kid, #3 Theodore Rooseveld
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R100.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: TIMELESS could hardly have been more impressive when winning on debut as a 2yo over 1160m. He’s open to any amount of improvement over this extended trip on his reappearance. Fellow last-start winner RAPTOR KING also has scope to improve, having been gelded since last seen. Sparingly raced 4yo DAWSON’S ANVIL fits a similar profile so has to be respected. LIGHTINTHEWOODS has the form and experience to make her presence felt too.
Selections: #3 Timeless, #4 Raptor King, #1 Dawson’s Anvil, #5 Lightinthewoods
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R115.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: JIMMY VEGA was a beaten odds-on favourite last time but was subsequently gelded so could improve to make amends. PURPLE RAIN and RAFE’S ORACLE could get into the picture with the benefit of experience, but a bigger threat will likely come from one of the newcomers. On pedigree, GREEN FAIRWAY, SECRET GETAWAY and QUIRKY appeal most and are worth a market check on debut. Follow betting moves!
Selections: #1 Jimmy Vega, #3 Green Fairway, #7 Secret Getaway, #9 Quirky
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R110.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: STORM AVALANCHE showed promise in both starts as a 2yo behind subsequent Stakes performers, so won’t need to improve after a layoff to make a winning reappearance. SCENTED ALLEY finished an encouraging 3rd on debut and should be competitive with that experience to count on. EMPRESS OF PEACE has also shown enough to play a role in the outcome. PENNYS CHOICE, LEVITATOR and LAZER LIGHT complete the shortlist.
Selections: #8 Storm Avalanche, #7 Scented Alley, #5 Empress Of Peace, #3 Lazer Light
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R120.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: AFRICAN PRINCE has solid form credentials at higher levels off his current mark so should be a factor. However, preference is for newly turned 3yo FIERCENESS after a promising juvenile campaign. He is open to any amount of improvement on his reappearance after a subsequent gelding procedure. CONTINENTAL KING and PERIODIC TABLE are lightly raced and are 4yo geldings with scope to improve. Both have the form and experience to warrant respect.
Selections: #4 Fierceness, #1 African Prince, #7 Periodic Table, #2 Continental King
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R150.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: PALACE PRINCE is unbeaten in 2 starts with a tongue-tie fitted. He was an authoritative winner of a similar contest over this trip last time and a 6-point penalty is unlikely to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. FIRE ‘N FLAMES (2nd) and KING’S EXPRESS (4th) are weighted to pose more of a threat. Filly DRUMNADROCHIT is maturing and weighted to be competitive so should have a role to play too.
Selections: #1 Palace Prince, #6 Fire ‘N Flames, #2 King’s Express, #3 Drumnadrochit
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100.000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: NARETOI landed a betting coup when bouncing back to form last time with a victory over this course and distance. GUERILLA WARFARE (2nd) and ITSNOWORNEVER (3rd) are better off on these revised terms and weighted to turn the tables. However, it could pay to side with progressive 3yo AINT NO DOUBT who has finished 2nd in both starts after gelding, the latest at this level off his current mark. Unexposed SPECIAL ENVOY wasn’t disgraced last time over 1600m after a winning debut and is open to improvement over this extended trip.
Selections: #5 Aint No Doubt, #6 Special Envoy, #7 Naretoi, #2 Guerilla Warfare
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R100.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: CAMILLO CAVOUR ran on smartly to make a winning debut over 1200m on this track and the form of that race has been boosted by two direct subsequent winners, so it could pay to follow his progress. Last-start winner ELUSIVE RED remains competitive under a penalty, while ZIP CODE could pose more of a threat from a better barrier. Highveld newcomer INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH carries a big weight after a lengthy layoff but is respected in his first start for the stable. LONGSWORD and PEARL IN HER CROWN are better than recent efforts suggest and could get into the picture.
Selections: #8 Camillo Cavour, #3 Elusive Red, #4 Zip Code, #1 Industrialstrength
Turffontein Inside, 19.09.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R135.000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Fillies SCARLETT HEART, LOST FOR WORDS and SECRETARY BIRD are weighted to be competitive. The latter was last seen in a 2yo Grade 1 against male opposition and she could fare better under bottom weight on her 3yo debut. MAX THE MAGICIAN was 2nd in a Listed race last time with blinkers refitted so he should have a role to play with the headgear retained over this extended trip. QUICKFREEZE bounced back to winning ways in his latest outing and a 3-point penalty may not be enough to halt his momentum. SECRET CHORD is also in good form and will likely make his presence felt.
Selections: #4 Quickfreeze, #2 Max The Magician, #9 Secretary Bird, #3 Secret Chord
Best Win: #8 STORM AVALANCHE
Best Value Bet: #5 AINT NO DOUBT
Best Longshot: #5 AINT NO DOUBT
