Race Summary: SAIGON SUZIE looked an unlucky loser last time out. She has been slow away in both her starts but can go one better from pole position. LETS PLAY POKER has been runner-up in three of her five starts and should be right there at the finish once again. CHIEFTAIN’S SHIELD improved last time out and could have more to offer. OMBUDSMAN improved last time out with Blinkers and deserves the utmost respect. ASIAN DELIGHT and DRAGON DRAGON need to do more to win but are capable of earning minor money.
Selections:
#9 Saigon Suzie, #5 Ombudsman, #1 Lets Play Poker, #2 Chieftain’s Shield
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: An interesting race. ICONIC WINTER and LINE IN THE SKY both ran well on debut. ICONIC WINTER is better drawn of the two and may get the run of the race so gets the vote. AUTUMN VAR is improving and can contest the finish again. JILTED was a bitter disappointment due to an equipment malfunction last time out but is capable of a decent run. TAKE YOUR PLACE is holding form and one of these days will have that consistency rewarded with a victory. FLIGHT TIME was only modest on debut but is capable of improvement.
Selections:
#4 Line In The Sky, #8 Iconic Winter, #6 Take Your Place, #1 Autumn Var
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R90.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: CHILI BOMB has improved with each run and could go close this time. HEROIC ACT has also improved lately and could be involved in the finish once again. RED LEGEND is on the up judged on his last showing and could be doing even better this time. SNOW MOON and FLIGHT ENGINEER jumped up the ladder last time out and could earn more money. TWELVE OCLOCK HIGH does seem better than that disappointing last effort and could bounce back and be very competitive.
Selections:
#2 Chili Bomb, #3 Red Legend, #6 Flight Engineer, #8 Twelve Oclock High
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R90.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: FAR REACHING was doing her best work late yet again last time out and could go one better. TODOQUE made good late progress last time out and should make a bold bid at scoring. EMBLEM OF THE SUN has been disappointing but must have the ability to contest the finish. ACCEPT COOKIES was not disgraced on debut and is capable of vast improvement so should be considered for at least a place.
Selections:
#1 Far Reaching, #9 Todoque, #2 Emblem Of The Sun, #5 Accept Cookies
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 2600m, Turf, R110.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: RAISEAHALLELUJAH was not disgraced last time out facing top stayers and could bounce back to beat these rivals. FLYING BULL returns from a break but is not out of it. TWENTY DRACHMA’S does not always show his best but if he does he will be right there in the mix. PRIME EXAMPLE is also capable of making the frame. AFRAAD and ANGEL’S WISH need to do more to win a race like this but could play minor roles.
Selections:
#1 Raiseahallelujah, #3 Twenty Drachma’s, #2 Flying Bull, #7 Weather Wizard
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R82.500, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: A tough race. FRENCH IMPACT won a good race last time out but is returning from a break so may be vulnerable to a fit improver. KING OF NUMBERS is fit and improving, and coming off a nice maiden win deserves respect. PRINCESS LOLA is clearly better than her last run and could play a minor role. FINAL TRY is improving and could have more to offer after a maiden win. KYLIE’S ANGEL did show capability when winning last time out but this does look a tougher field. COMING IN HOT and SAIL THE SKY are in good shape and are not out of it.
Selections:
#1 French Impact, #2 King Of Numbers, #4 Final Try, #7 Kylie’s Angel
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R100.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: SOLDIER’S EYE ran fourth earlier this month in a better race than this so does look the one they all have to beat. THAT’S MY BABY has been disappointing in her last two starts but could bounce back and be a threat. VIX PRINCESS is consistent and clearly not out of it. DUENNA is in good shape form-wise and can contest the finish again. ALESIA’S LOVE and ALABAMA ANNA are tackling tougher this time but could earn money.
Selections:
#1 Soldier’s Eye, #2 That’s My Baby, #3 Vix Princess, #4 Duenna
Turffontein Inside, 15.08.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R80.000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: A very open-looking last race. DOITWITHDIAMONDS is clearly improving and can go one better this time. PRINCESS ILARIA is in good form and has a winning chance. QUE CEU AZUL seems much better than her last run suggests and could surprise. COURAGEOUS, CERULEAN DANCER, SOLO DIVA and GREEN BUBBLES have all been in good form lately and are capable of getting involved in the finish.
Selections:
#1 Doitwithdiamonds, #2 Princess Ilaria, #8 Solo Diva, #9 Green Bubbles

Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #1 DOITWITHDIAMONDS
