RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE@2026.10.31
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R115.000, 11:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Competitive opener to the Allied Steelrode Charity Mile Day. THE BUFFALO and FREDERICO CAGISHAS are closely matched on recent form and should have roles to play if building on the improvement of their latest outings. BUFFALO KING CODY, THEODORE ROOSEVELD and CHANCELLOR have shown enough to make their presence felt too. However, a bigger threat will likely come from the newcomers so the betting should be closely monitored. THE LIVING YEARS, well-bred SMOKE AND SHADOWS, well-related FROM WINTER and GLOBAL SKY warrant respect before any market clues. Keep an eye on COPY AND PASTE and KISS THE CROWN.
Selections: #2 The Buffalo, #7 Frederico Cagishas, #8 From Winter, #13 The Living Years
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1160m, Turf, R110.000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Stablemates PITERAQ and RUBY WHISPER have the form and experience to feature prominently but MISS BARBADOS has more scope for improvement after a pleasing KZN introduction. GO FOR BROKE has also shown enough to be competitive, while PURE DELIGHT could make her presence felt if confirming the improvement she showed last time. QUINTARELLI, ON MY OWN, HURKLE DURKLE and HADJIEBAJUDGIES are bred to be useful so worth a market check on debut.
Selections: #1 Piteraq, #2 Ruby Whisper, #13 Miss Barbados, #16 Quintarelli
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R250.000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Many with chances in a big field to begin the feature-race action. AFRICAN PRIDE bounced back to form when a good second over track and trip last time, and on that form should have the measure of KARATE KID. Stablemates ECHO CHECK and CATFISH are distance suited and remain competitive under penalties after career-best last-start victories. The latter was a wide-margin winner over 1200m but is even more effective over the shorter trip. East Cape raider MASTER MTOTO will enjoy reverting to turf so must be respected. KAALVOET, ESPINOZA, THE SPECIALIST and UMZINGELI WENYATHI can also earn a cheque.
Selections: #13 Catfish, #6 Echo Check, #15 Master Mtoto, #1 African Pride
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R250.000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Quality Grade 3 race to begin the R1-million carryover Pick 6. GET UP and FLOWER ISLAND have a score to settle but the latter could be hard to beat after her last-start Grade 2 success. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE and GRISELDA are closely matched on the form of a recent 1200m meeting and, on pedigree, both could be better suited to this extended trip. ALICE B TOKLAS, SECRETARY BIRD, WITHIN REACH and DOESYOURMOTHERKNOW were well-performed juveniles and are open to any amount of improvement. Highveld newcomer IN HOT WATER fits a similar profile so is another to consider for larger perms.
Selections: #2 Flower Island, #1 Get Up, #7 Griselda, #3 Good Day Sunshine
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R400.000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Grade 2 winner FISH TALES makes his debut for the De Kock yard and could improve sufficiently to remain unbeaten on his reappearance. Familiar foe BISOU BISOU is 2kg better off, drawn better and has a fitness advantage so should pose a threat as a result. Runaway debut winner KINGS MOUNTAIN could be anything so warrants respect. Fellow last-start scorers GONE COLD, FIERCENESS and GIMME A FIREBALL could have more to offer over this extended trip so are also best kept onside. Other recent winners BANGKOK MAGIC, NOBLE SAINT, SHERIFF BILL BROWN and RAPTOR KING add further intrigue. A must watch.
Selections: #1 Fish Tales, #3 Bisou Bisou, #11 Kings Mountain, #6 Gone Cold
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R200.000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Oaks heroine LITTLEMISSMILLION sets a lofty standard but is worth opposing under 62kg following a 7-month layoff. INDIAN OCEAN was caught late in a 2200m feature on the Inside track last time. She’s weighted to turn the tables on conqueror INTO DANCING, though the latter continues to improve and could do so sufficiently to confirm her superiority. FIRST WISH is better off at the weights with that rival on their 10 September clash and a 2-point penalty for beating male opposition recently shouldn’t prevent another bold bid. TOMYRIS, RAHHABBA and KUBU also have the means to get into the picture.
Selections: #10 First Wish, #6 Tomyris, #5 Into Dancing, #4 Rahhabba
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R1.000.000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Quality renewal. COSMIC SPEED was dropped out from the widest draw when a fast-finishing fifth in a 1450m Grade 2 last time so this extended trip from an inside gate will suit. I’M A FIREBALL was second from the front that day and should find the lead again from gate 1, though does have questions to answer over this distance. CHOISAANADA is closely matched with the selection on that form so has to be respected. ZEITZ is at the top of his game and will be competitive with this track and its long run-in likely to suit. CALLA LAGOON, GRAND EMPIRE and SPLITTHEEIGHTS aren’t taken lightly. Go wide.
Selections: #1 Cosmic Speed, #5 I’m A Fireball, #8 Zeitz, #17 Splittheeights
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R250.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: SA Derby winner CURIOUS GIRL ran well in defeat under a big weight against male opposition on her seasonal debut. She is unbeaten in two appearances at this track, is distance suited and will strip fitter so is hard to oppose under the conditions. BELLEROPHON, POSITIVE ATTITUDE and CORRUPT are proven stayers with the means to trouble the selection. UTSAAH has found her niche over staying distances but must raise her game to be competitive at this level. BEST CANDIDATE has performed well over 2000m but is an unknown quantity over this trip. There is stamina on his dam’s side so he can’t be ignored.
Selections: #5 Curious Girl, #6 Positive Attitude, #1 Bellerophon, #10 Utsaah
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R200.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: SUNSET RIOT and CARE FORGOT made their seasonal comebacks at Grade 2 level – both will be more competitive in this grade. KING HARALD has run well in defeat at his level recently and should acquit himself competitively once more. MASTERSHIP was second over 1450m on his reappearance and will be better suited to this extended trip with that outing under his belt. Versatile PLEASE BE TRUE is at the top of his game and a 4-point penalty for winning last time isn’t likely to halt his momentum. BRISTOL HERCULES, QUICKFREEZE, CHAPBOOK and MASTER SPY could also have roles to play.
Selections: #3 King Harald, #8 Please Be True, #5 Mastership, #7 Care Forgot
Turffontein Standside, 31.10.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R120.000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: DOG IN THE FOG justified strong market support when making a belated winning debut over 1000m. He is probably a lot better than his opening mark suggests so it could pay to follow his progress. PERIODIC TABLE was a game-in-defeat second at this level on his handicap debut and will play another leading role if repeating that effort under a resultant 6-point penalty. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY and HEMISPHERE have the form and experience at this grade to trouble the principals, along with improving last-start winner EVENING PARADE. Fillies INDECENT OBSESSION, LADY HARLEQUIN and ASHVENDRA can also get involved.
Selections: #6 Dog In The Fog, #4 Periodic Table, #5 Highwayman Harry, #2 Evening Parade
Best Win: #5 CURIOUS GIRL
Best Value Bet: #1 COSMIC SPEED
Best Longshot: #1 COSMIC SPEED

Race Summary: A very competitive looking opening event. WINIKA has tended to lack a strong finish but could win on local debut. STONE OF SCONE is not reliable but is quite capable of winning a race. ON THE OUTSIDE and UNCUT GEM have been fair on the Polytrack and could earn some more money. AMONG THE WILLOWS is clearly better than her last run would suggest. YOU’RE MY ANGEL could be a threat on the turf. AMERICAN GEM is in good shape and must be respected fo that. MISS HONEY BEE and PEACEOFBEAUTY are capable of improvement and could surprise.
Selections: #2 Winika, #1 Stone Of Scone, #7 Among The Willows, #9 American Gem
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100.000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: INDESTRUCTABLE was not disgraced on the Polytrack last time out. He does look a better sort on turf and looks the right one for this. MONKEY’S WEDDING is very consistent and should be right there at the finish yet again. PALME D’OR has shown improved form of late and would not be a surprise winner. BUGLE needed the last run and always has a place chance. APPLES AND TEA has improved of late and could like this course and distance. GIMMETHEBEATBOYS displayed inexperience on debut but could show vast improvement and is a real threat.
Selections: #2 Indestructable, #1 Monkey’s Wedding, #3 Palme D’Or, #10 Gimmethebeatboys
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100.000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY ELLIOT is not well drawn but she did look unlucky not to win on local debut and should like this course and distance. Stable companion GLOBETONIC has often been allowed soft leads and he generally has made the most of it when that happens. That may well happen again. JOHNNY DRAMA will like it back on the grass and has a place chance. DEFINITELY YES makes a local debut and could improve. RULES OF CONDUCT has not been at his best since he was gelded but does have some ability and would not be a surprise winner. QUINN’S TIME and RIP WHEELER are not reliable but are worth considering.
Selections: #4 Lady Elliot, #5 Rules Of Conduct, #7 Quinn’s Time, #8 Rip Wheeler
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90.000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: PRETTY AWESOME is still learning her trade and inexperience seemed to cost her last time. She is not well drawn but this course and distance should suit, and she can go one place better. REDLIGHT LANE showed what she is capable of with a success on the Polytrack. She is better on the grass and is a threat to these rivals. QONDANEKUKHANYENI remains in good form and should contest the finish. MY AMI BEACH broke a long losing run with a solid success last time out and could earn some minor money. TOKYO PRINCESS and in-form CHRONICLESOFNANIA are also capable of making the frame.
Selections: #1 Pretty Awesome, #5 Qondanekukhanyeni, #2 Redlight Lane, #7 My Ami Beach
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R114.000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A tricky race. TERMINATOR has not enjoyed the Polytrack at all. He was touched off by the very good Wild Fig when last running on the grass and he can bounce back to score if allowed a soft lead. AUGUSTA ROSSO has not been at her best of late but did run some cracking races earlier in the year and would not be a surprise winner. DYNALLEY can be a threat when in the mood but does seem better over 1400m when on the turf. GEORGE HANDEL is capable of a strong finish and must be respected. TOO LATE MY MATE picked up a confidence-boosting win last time out and could have more to offer. ACTION AMERICA and the strong finisher ASINANTANGA are others to consider.
Selections: #1 Terminator, #2 Augusta Rosso, #8 Asinantanga, #5 Too Late My Mate
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R108.000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff holds a decent hand in this. SILVAN MISTRESS seems to detest the Polytrack and will be hard to beat if showing her best form. Stable companion WAIT FOR ME is well drawn and has Richard Fourie in the saddle so must be respected. OCEAN FLAME tries further but could have more to offer after a narrow last win. CAMDEN SQUARE was a wide margin winner last time out and could be better than rated. GOLDEN MOMENT was given a soft introduction on local debut and should improve.
Selections: #1 Silvan Mistress, #5 Wait For Me, #7 Camden Square, #8 Golden Moment
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R92.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Another very open race and it may pay to go very wide in this leg of the Pick 6. WINTER IN LONDON was backed to win on local debut and was not disgraced. This course and distance should suit. Stable companion GIVETHATMANABELLS has Craig Zackey in the saddle and could like the drop in distance. MARKETA and REAL WAR are both in good form and are not out of it. CRIMSON CLOVER does not like the Polytrack and was full of running when last seen on turf so could surprise. AIN’T NO SUNSHINE won on local debut but that was on the Polytrack. DIAMOND MAKER has some fair form and should be included in all bets.
Selections: #2 Winter In London, #3 Marketa, #10 Diamond Maker, #1 Givethatmanabells
Fairview, 30.10.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: RED BIRCH is badly drawn but has won her last two starts and a hat-trick is on the card. JEWEL MULE was an easy maiden winner and could be better than rated but it is stable companion LIGHTSCAMERAACTION that will have Richard Fourie in the saddle and that is usually the sign of preference. MIDNIGHT MUSIC is in good form and can contest the finish once again. BASINGSTOKE does not always show her best side but she does have a place chance. LILAC SNOW and TIPSY might earn some money.
Selections: #1 Red Birch, #3 Jewel Mule, #6 Lightscameraaction, #5 Midnight Music

Tarry, De Kock hold Aces on Charity Mile Day
Saturday’s 10-race Highveld meeting at TAB Turffontein on 31 October is packed with quality, with the Grade 2 Allied Steelrode – Onamission Charity Mile the headline act, supported by a pair of Grade 3 contests for three-year-olds and three Listed races.
While the Charity Mile’s community initiative ensures that the day ultimately has many winners beyond the racecourse, there are plenty of attractive betting propositions for punters, with the powerful stables of Sean Tarry and that of Mike & Mathew de Kock dominating the feature-race landscape.
Race 4, the Grade 3 Starling Stakes for three-year-old fillies, sees eight of the 12 runners representing the Tarry and De Kock stables.
De Kock’s Flower Island, a last-start winner of the Grade 2 Fillies & Mares Joburg Spring Challenge, renews rivalry with Tarry’s Get Up. There is unfinished business between the pair: Get Up defeated Flower Island in the Grade 2 Alan Robertson at the end of their two-year-old campaigns, before Flower Island avenged that defeat with a winning three-year-old reappearance.
Get Up is now 1kg better off for a 2-length defeat and enjoys a better draw, so there should be little separating the two again. Tarry, however, throws five runners at the race, with Alice B Toklas, Secretary Bird, Griselda and Within Reach joining Get Up to provide the yard with plenty of firepower.
De Kock’s trio is headed by Flower Island, with Good Day Sunshine and new stable recruit In Hot Water (formerly with James Crawford in the Western Cape) completing the De Kock trio.
Flower Island and Get Up look the principal protagonists, although the depth of the race makes it one where exotic players may want to go wide.
The three-year-old males take centre stage in Race 5, the Grade 3 TAB Graham Beck Stakes over 1400m, where Fish Tales sets the standard. This unbeaten Heavenly Blue colt, a last-start winner of the Grade 2 Umkhomazi Stakes at Hollywoodbets Greyville at the end of his two-year-old campaign, makes his first appearance for the De Kock stable after switching from James Crawford’s barn.
There is considerable scope for improvement from Fish Tales as a three-year-old, and his pedigree suggests the additional 200m should be firmly in his favour. Perhaps even more significant for punters is that, of De Kock’s four runners, stable jockey Callan Murray has opted to partner Fish Tales, despite the colt’s awkward 11 draw. That is a notable vote of confidence.
The big one is Race 7, the Grade 2 Allied Steelrode – Onamission Charity Mile over 1600m, where De Kock launches a four-pronged assault against a strong Tarry coupling that is made up of the two Grade 1 winners in the field, Cosmic Speed and Grand Empire.
The latter has a score to settle with the De Kock-trained Splittheeights. During their highly productive three-year-old campaigns, Splittheeights chased home Grand Empire in the Grade 1 SA Classic over 1800m, having previously beaten Tarry’s charge in the Grade 2 Gauteng Guineas over this same 1600m course and distance.
Grand Empire has the advantage of a comeback run under his belt and should strip fitter for it, but his 18 draw is an obvious concern. Splittheeights, by contrast, has landed gate 4, is unbeaten over the course and distance and Murray gets back in the irons. With just 53.5kg on his back, the De Kock inmate appears attractively weighted.
The only question mark is fitness, though the yard’s assessment is that the lightly raced Vercingetorix colt is not yet 100%, but fit enough to acquit himself competitively. Given his course-and-distance record, favourable draw and weight, he nevertheless looks good value to make a winning return.
And then there is Race 8, the Listed 4Racing Java Stakes over 2400m, where De Kock-trained Curious Girl rates one of the day’s strongest exotic-bet anchors. The filly, winner of last season’s SA Derby, is unbeaten in two starts over the TAB Turffontein Standside track. She made an encouraging seasonal return in the Michaelmas Handicap over 1900m at Hollywoodbets Greyville earlier this month. The step up to 2400m is ideal and she is the best-weighted runner in the lineup. With fitness already established and the extra 500m tailor-made for her, Curious Girl has plenty going for her.

2026 Betway Summer Cup: Johannesburg’s Historic Racing Spectacle Returns to TAB...
South Africa’s racing spotlight will turn to Johannesburg on Saturday, 28 November 2026, when the prestigious Betway Summer Cup returns to TAB Turffontein Racecourse for another spectacular afternoon of top-class thoroughbred racing.
Widely regarded as one of the highlights of the South African racing calendar, the Summer Cup combines sporting excellence, rich tradition and a vibrant social atmosphere. With a prize purse of R6 million, the Grade 1 feature promises to attract some of the country’s finest racehorses, leading jockeys and most accomplished trainers.
This year’s celebration, themed “Celebrate Summer”, promises far more than just a day at the races.
A Racing Tradition Dating Back to 1887
Few horse races can boast a history as closely connected to their home city as the Summer Cup. Johannesburg was founded in 1886 following the discovery of gold, and horse racing soon became part of the emerging city’s identity. The Johannesburg Turf Club was established in 1887, with its inaugural meeting featuring the Johannesburg Handicap, the predecessor of today’s Summer Cup. Originally contested over two miles for a prize of £250, the race has undergone numerous transformations throughout its remarkable history. It officially became known as the Summer Cup in 2001, while Betway took over title sponsorship in 2022. Today, almost 140 years after its origins, the race remains one of Johannesburg’s most celebrated sporting traditions.The Ultimate Grade 1 Challenge
The centrepiece of the meeting is the R6 million Betway Summer Cup, a Grade 1 handicap contested over 2000 metres on Turffontein’s demanding Standside track. Unlike weight-for-age races, a handicap requires horses to carry different weights according to their assessed abilities, creating the potential for thrilling contests between established champions and emerging stars. The 2026 race has a maximum field of 20 runners, with the handicap weights ranging from 54kg to 60kg. Turffontein itself presents a formidable challenge. Its famous uphill section, beginning around the 1200-metre mark, places considerable demands on stamina and endurance. Over this testing course, tactical positioning, patience and a perfectly timed finishing effort can make the difference between victory and defeat.Mocha Blend Returns Among a Star-Studded Entry
One of the most fascinating stories surrounding the 2026 Summer Cup is the possible return of defending champion Mocha Blend. Trained by Frank Robinson and ridden by Tristan Godden, Mocha Blend produced one of the greatest upsets in recent Summer Cup history when she captured the 2025 edition at extraordinary odds of 100-1. The daughter of Ideal World defeated Olivia’s Way by half a length, delivering a memorable first Grade 1 victory for both her trainer and jockey. Her name appears among the early nominations for the 2026 renewal, raising the exciting possibility of back-to-back Summer Cup triumphs. However, defending her crown will be anything but straightforward. A total of 43 horses were nominated at the first entry stage, with 42 appearing on the initial official rankings published on 13 October. At the top of that list stands Gladatorian, trained by Stuart Ferrie. The accomplished gelding strengthened his credentials with a victory in the Grade 2 Betway Joburg Spring Challenge at Turffontein in early October. Mocha Blend occupies second position in the initial rankings, followed by Sean Tarry’s Grade 1 SA Classic winner Grand Empire. Other prominent contenders include Fire Attack, Jan Van Goyen, King Pelles, Holding Thumbs and Native Ruler. The powerful father-and-son partnership of Mike and Mathew de Kock has nominated seven horses, including multiple Grade 1 winner Jan Van Goyen. Mike de Kock has an extraordinary record in the event, having trained nine Summer Cup winners during his celebrated career. With challengers nominated from Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, the 2026 contest is shaping up as a fascinating battle between some of South Africa’s strongest racing stables. The final field is scheduled to be announced on 17 November, meaning the early nominations and rankings remain subject to change.More Than One Major Race
Although the Summer Cup takes centre stage, the supporting programme is another major attraction. The 2026 meeting is scheduled to feature several additional graded races, including:- Grade 2 Betway Dingaans (1600m): An important contest showcasing promising three-year-old talent.
- Grade 3 Merchants (1160m): An exciting sprint featuring specialist speedsters.
- Grade 3 Fillies Mile (1600m): A valuable opportunity for talented young fillies to demonstrate their potential.
- Listed Carry On Alice Stakes (1160m): Another competitive sprint that adds depth to the programme.
Where Racing Meets Fashion and Entertainment
The Summer Cup has developed into much more than a traditional racing fixture. Under the 2026 theme “Celebrate Summer”, organisers are preparing a celebration of Johannesburg’s distinctive energy, combining elite racing with fashion, music, food and premium hospitality. Racegoers can look forward to a colourful atmosphere, stylish outfits, live entertainment and an exciting social experience. From passionate racing enthusiasts to first-time visitors, the event offers different ways to enjoy one of Johannesburg’s most prestigious sporting occasions. General admission tickets start at R100, while premium hospitality packages provide additional options for those seeking an exclusive raceday experience.A Summer Cup Full of Possibilities
From its origins in the gold-rush era to its modern status as a multimillion-rand Grade 1 showpiece, the Summer Cup continues to represent the enduring spirit of South African horse racing. The 2026 edition offers several compelling questions. Can Mocha Blend repeat her remarkable 2025 success? Will Gladatorian turn his impressive recent form into Grade 1 glory? Could a rising star from one of South Africa’s leading stables emerge to claim the prestigious trophy? Whatever the outcome, the Betway Summer Cup promises another unforgettable chapter in Johannesburg’s racing history. On 28 November 2026, all roads lead to TAB Turffontein — where tradition, racing excellence and the excitement of summer come together.
Fourie in for a pretty awesome day
Jockey Richard Fourie continues to set a high standard, with his strike rate around the 20% mark.
Much of that success is due to his continued stream of winners at TAB Fairview for trainer Alan Greeff. They team up in all eight races on Friday, but it will be the filly in Race 4, Pretty Awesome, who attracts the most interest from punters, especially for the exotics.
Pretty Awesome has had just three starts so far and won her second outing. The well-bred daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is improving and should be at her best over this course and distance, a MR 68 Handicap over 1400m on the turf.
A bad draw might force Richard Fourie to drop her out early, but she has already shown a good finishing kick. Provided she gets luck in running, she looks the banker bet.
Racing returns to the turf, and there are a number of tricky races, but George Handel in Race 5 and Red Birch in Race 8 should give us a run for our money.
George Handel is on a long losing run, but jockey Muzi Yeni knows how to get the best out of him, and he has been very consistent of late. He is probably even better on the grass and should be doing his best work late.
Trainer Dean Smith has his yard in decent form, and Red Birch is clearly improving. This daughter of Erik The Red is unbeaten in two starts since cheekpieces were applied, and she wears them again.
Jockey Craig Zackey has got her to quicken nicely in both those wins, and she can overcome a difficult draw to score.

Sha Tin Track Spy: Sunday, 28 October
Video Stars
Race 3 – 10 VIVA CHALEUR
He was urged forward early to stalk the leader from a wide draw last start before weakening in the straight to finish seventh, beaten 3.25 lengths over this distance on turf. The form has since been franked, with the winner going on to place in Class 4.
The return to the AWT, where he recorded his sole local win, should work in his favour, and he is worth considering as a value option.
Race 4 – 11 BULL ATTITUDE
On a highly competitive mark, he was badly held up from the 400m to the 100m last start but still flashed home late to finish fourth over 1650m at this track, beaten by only a neck. With a clear passage, a top-three finish was well within reach.
Well weighted in this week’s field, he appears to be edging closer to a win and can make amends with better luck in running.
Sectional Stars
Race 1 – 7 SUPERB GUY
He was slow to begin from a wide draw last start and had to settle well off the speed in a race dominated by the frontrunners. Once balanced in the straight, he finished off strongly to claim sixth over 1400m. With a clean getaway this time, he looks capable of securing a top-three finish.
Race 7 – 5 GOOD CHAP
Despite the wide draw, he comes off an encouraging first-up effort, posting the second-fastest final 400m sectional to finish sixth over this track and distance. He has performed well on the All-Weather track and, with a more economical run, could finish in the money second-up.
Matsunyane set to continue creating beautiful art
Jockey Kabelo Matsunyane could well be described as Art Nouveau’s muse, as he seems to be a source of inspiration for the five-year-old mare to produce her best work.
Since pairing up with Matsunyane at the end of July, the daughter of Querari has won twice and placed twice in their four outings together – all over 2000m.
The two are set to continue their creative partnership at the TAB Vaal on Thursday 29 October in Race 5, a FM 92 Handicap ovber 1800m.
Trained by Tony Peter, there is no question mark behind her stamina, and racing off a career-high mark of 84, she is the one to beat.
The biggest threat could be Onetwobucklemyshoe, trained by Candice and Tammy Dawson. This four-year-old filly will, however, be travelling beyond 1600m for the first time.
She will also be making her seasonal debut after a layoff of 105 days, so there might just be a few cobwebs that need to be blown out.
The two are drawn alongside in gates five and six, so there’s no real advantage for either.
A third runner to keep an eye on is Hat’s Queen. Stablemate to Art Nouveau, she returned to the Highveld after a rather disappointing campaign at the coast end of last season. She ran out of steam when clipped on her seasonal bow 26 days ago, but could produce a very different effort now settled back home and stripping fitter.
Peter does regard her highly as attested by her participation in four graded races. She is also by far the highest rated runner in the field with a grading of 100.
In Race 8, a MR74 Handicap over 1600m, Duke Of Lorraine is very likely to complete a hat-trick for the stable of Mike and Mathew de Kock.
The three-year-old son of Rafeef is a two-time winner from four starts and is a miler through and through. With a total of 13 runners in the race, some argy-bargy is expected, but Duke Of Lorraine has proven that he isn’t easily distracted. He won his last after being brushed at the start, so one must assume he has the capacity to deal with whatever comes his way.

Raging Blizzard to tackle LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint after G2 Lukfook...
Raging Blizzard will be aimed at the HK$28 million G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) in December – and a return bout with Ka Ying Rising – after the veteran delivered John Size’s fifth victory in the HK$5.35 million G2 Lukfook Jewellery Premier Bowl Handicap (1200m) at Sha Tin on Sunday (25 October).
Ridden patiently near the tail of the field by Brenton Avdulla, Raging Blizzard (135lb) emerged from the pack and motored late in the straight to catch leader Ka Ying Attack (119lb) – who led by three lengths at the 300m – to win by a head, with Crimson Flash (127lb) a neck further back in 1m 07.71s.
Second to Ka Ying Rising in the 2025 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint, Raging Blizzard joins Size’s four previous winners of the Lukfook Jewellery Premier Bowl – Rich Unicorn (2011), Mr Stunning (2017), Hot King Prawn (2018) and Sight Success (2023).
“It’s a bit of justice for him – he’s tried so hard in all his races. He’s been unlucky running into some very nice horses constantly, but eventually, he’s rewarded for his consistency. So, it was quite satisfying to see him win this race,” Size said.
“It was probably a special event for a lot of the connections, so we’re quite happy and relieved for the horse to win a race and for the owners, who have been sort of believing in him for such a long time.
“He’s got a lovely temperament. He’s in beautiful condition most of the time and he’s sound and he does very well. He’s a pleasure to work with. But just race day, he just lacks the extra couple of rating points to mix it with the big ones.”
Taking his prizemoney to HK$26.24 million with a seventh win from 30 starts, Raging Blizzard’s immediate target is the HK$5.35 million G2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m) on 22 November – which also marks Ka Ying Rising’s competitive return to Hong Kong racing.
“He’s (Raging Blizzard) got no options, so he’ll go there and it’s a stepping stone to the second Sunday in December (LONGINES Hong Kong International Races on 13 December),” Size said.
Raging Blizzard is one of Avdulla’s favourite horses and the Per Incanto seven-year-old justified the Australian’s affection with a searing final 400m sectional of 22.02s.
“There are two horses that, every season, they keep turning up for me. They don’t win very often but him and Beauty Joy, they just turn up every season and run against the best and I said to connections that ‘I think it’s his turn today’,” Avdulla said.
“I thought it was the easiest race he’s been in, carrying the 135lb, second-up and 1200m – I thought today was D-Day for him and we got the right run through and he was able to get the job done. To actually win a race and a Group, it’s very special.”
Avdulla fired in a double, also scoring on David Hayes-trained Pocketing (127lb), who claimed a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million after notching his first Hong Kong victory in the Class 3 Lukfook Jewellery Miss Hong Kong Love Yourself Collection Handicap (2000m).
Ridden conservatively by Avdulla, the winner of four Australian races – including the G2 Tulloch Stakes (2000m) for Richard and Will Freedman – Pocketing thrived on a solid tempo to prevail.
Apprentice Nichola Yuen and Jerry Chau also rode doubles, while trainers Pierre Ng, Caspar Fownes and Ricky Yiu fired in braces.
Ng retained leadership of the 2026/27 trainers’ championship with the wins of Storm Mirror (128lb) in the Class 4 Lukfook Jewellery Heirloom Fortune Collection Handicap (1400m) for Yuen and the breakthrough success of Smart Fat Cat (116lb) under Karis Teetan in the Class 4 Lukfook Jewellery Love Is Beauty Collection Handicap (1600m).
Fownes matched Ng’s feat with the wins of Tycoon Express (132lb) in the Class 5 Lukfook Jewellery Wedding Collection Handicap (1400m) under Ellis Wong and Megastar Heart (130lb), who set a Class 3 record of 1m 07.75s under Luke Ferraris in snaring the Class 3 Lukfook Jewellery Longmen Vajra Collection Handicap (1200m).
Ng (14 wins) leads Fownes (13) from David Hayes (10), David Eustace (10) and Manfred Man (10).
Yiu scored with Chill Easy (122lb), who collected a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million for his success under Chau in the Class 2 Lukfook Joaillerie Handicap (1600m) and Packing Glory (117lb), who set a new class record of 1m 20.51s in landing the Class 3 Lukfook Jewellery Beloved Collection Handicap (1400m) for Yuen.
Yuen has 13 wins for the campaign, second only to nine-time Hong Kong champion Zac Purton (26) and one ahead of Vincent Ho (12).
David Hall’s impressive four-year-old Ka Ying Lightning (125lb) maintained his unbeaten record by winning the Class 3 Lukfook Jewellery Night Banquet In Tang Palace Collection Handicap (1000m) under Andrea Atzeni. The All Too Hard gelding improved his record to three wins from three starts, clocking a slick 56.16s.
James Cummings combined with Purton to win the Class 4 Lukfook Jewellery Diabling Shimmering Gold Collection Handicap (1200m) with Speedy Power (120lb) after Danny Shum struck with heavily-backed debutante Happy Pegasus (122lb), who landed the Class 4 (Restricted) Lukfook Jewellery Rhapsody On The Luo River Goddess Collection Handicap (1200m) under Chau.
Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Wednesday night (28 October).
