Race Summary: HEART OF ETERNITY found support in her last two starts and could make amends in this calibre of field. COUNT YOUR CHANCES and LOOK TO THE STARS showed good improvement last time and are looking to challenge. EFFICIENT TRADER gave plenty of cheek last time and should show up well.
Selections:

Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: NAZARE showed vast improvement on debut as a gelding and could go in. AUSSENKEHR races in new surroundings and the blinkers have been removed. He is coupled with RAPTOR ISLAND who has been threatening – watch the money. BROSNAN races before this and if takes his place could get into the action. DUNGEONS could get into the Quartet. SMELTING could sneak into a place. FLORIDA HILLS found support on debut but never got into it.
Selections:
#2 Nazare, #1 Aussenkehr, #3 Raptor Island, #6 Brosnan
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90.000, 13:20GMT+2
Race Summary: ROSSLYNE has been threatening. Despite switching, she nosed out BROADLANDS in their meeting in December but the latter receives 1.5kg and it could go either way. ISLAND BEAUTY found issues last time and won’t go down without a fight. MORE FOR ME and TURNTHEBEATAROUND disappointed last time.
Selections:
#3 Broadlands, #2 Rosslyne, #4 Island Beauty, #9 Turnthebeataround
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90.000, 13:55GMT+2
Race Summary: BRONZE SWORD will be having his peak run and should relish the extra – the one to beat. WONDERWORLD is improving and could turn it around with QUEEN BRITANNA who disappointed last time. MANZ KNIGHT found solid support last time but failed to produce. DESERT FOX, HAROLD THE DUKE and SASSY are looking for minor money.
Selections:
#1 Bronze Sword, #2 Wonderworld, #8 Queen Britanna, #5 Manz Knight
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120.000, 14:30GMT+2
Race Summary: RAFFLES and FOSTINOVO finished on top of each other recently when both were hampered in some way. They could battle it out. Coupled with FOSTINOVO are DANCETILDAYLIGHT and MILLAHUE, who race in new surroundings – watch the money. LUCY IN THE SKY, VEGAS HI RISE, TANGANGA and SET TO GO are looking for Trifecta money.
Selections:
#1 Raffles, #7 Fostinovo, #5 Lucy In The Sky, #4 Dancetildaylight
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R150.000, 15:05GMT+2
Race Summary: BINGWA comes off a short rest and could win fresh. Not that he has done badly at this track, but is yet to win. Stable companions, PRINCE OF FIRE (could still need it), OUTOFTHEDARKNESS (problems last time) and HOMELY GIRL (well in) cannot be ignored. If FOREVER MINE is in a galloping mood he could be hard to catch, however, stablemate, HUMDINGER won’t allow him to get away. PYROMANIAC pulled up fatigued last time but with a low weight could feature.
Selections:
#9 Humdinger, #1 Bingwa, #8 Homely Girl, #6 Pyromaniac
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R150.000, 15:40GMT+2
Race Summary: LITIGATION and stable companion PLATINUM SKY are in form and could fight it out. Top weights and stablemates DIVINE ODYSSEY at 8 years old and SECOND BASE, who appears to have lost his sparkle, could win it if producing their best form. The joker in the pack could be FLASHY APACHE – he receives chunks of weight and could take advantage of the situation. RAISEAHALLELUJAH is capable of a better performance.
Selections:
#3 Litigation, #6 Platinum Sky, #9 Flashy Apache, #1 Divine Odysse
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Recent maiden winner, CAPE LIGHTS (52kg) comes from franked form and appears to be on the up. With only 52kg to shoulder could be hard to peg back. TULIP TREE drifted in the betting last time and disappointed. Look for a better run. Top weights CLAFOUTIS (62kg) and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (59kg) have the form but could battle at the weights. STRANGE MAGIC has a shout if doesn’t give away too much start.
Selections:
#9 Cape Lights, #5 Tulip Tree, #6 Strange Magic, #1 Clafoutis
Turffontein Inside, 12.02.2023, Race 9, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R85.000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Tricky last. JUST BE NICE beat LIGHT OF DAY (6.5kg better for 3.50 lengths) and SKYFULL (2kg better for 2.40 lengths) and it could get close between them. TIMEFORTHAT beat TINDER DRY (3kg better for 3.25 lengths) and they also could finish together. NATIONAL STAR got her just reward when exiting the maiden ranks last time but BUSHVELD, who also opened her account, impressed more. KARIN’S LEGACY pulled up distressed last time. FASINADA could find a place.
Selections:
#4 Bushveld, #2 National Star, #1 Light Of Day, #5 Just Be Nice
Best Win: #9 CAPE LIGHTS
Best Value Bet: #4 BUSHVELD
Best Longshot: #4 BUSHVELD
