RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2025.02.13
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R105.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: DESERT CLOUD has run two good races in a row and rates the form choice. She should go a bit further on pedigree but can open her account. PANTHERA UNCIA was only a length behind DESERT CLOUD in their last meeting and should be there. However, CHILLI MARMALADE wasn’t far off her the time they met and she looks a threat having drawn better. ENDIZAYO has shown some potential and ran in a fair race last time. But she races after a rest and has drawn a bit wide. First timers in the hunt to consider.
Selections: #8 Desert Cloud, #2 Panthera Uncia, #1 Endizayo, #3 Chilli Marmalade
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R120.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: PIBE DE ORO has not enjoyed going over ground. He has run against top horses including Greaterix, Proceed, Lead The Charge to name a few and if bouncing back to best over the sprint could impress. IT’S PERSONAL wasn’t far off star colt Cosmic Speed either. He may have also improved during a lengthy break and is one to watch out for. ANTONIO GAUDI is also back from a rest and has some decent form so must be respected. OLD FASHIONED jumped at 100-1 last time but ran a nice race. TANA MAREE is a promising older runner that should have the edge on LADY OF ARC on collateral form. Nice race.
Selections: #9 Tana Maree, #2 It’s Personal, #1 Pibe De Oro, #4 Old Fashioned
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R120.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Recent maiden winners IMMEDIATE EDGE, BEYNAC and CASUS BELLI won well enough to suggest they could all make decent handicap debuts. IMMEDIATE EDGE has gate one and should get the extra on pedigree. CASUS BELLI is proven over the trip but is meeting a fair bit better than he met in the maidens. BEYNAC has over-raced previously but won by a street last time and could get the race run to suit again. HIGH QUEUE and DIESEL’S SHADOW are holding form but both are returning from breaks and could just need it. QUATERMAIN (4kg claim) and FLAG BEARER must be respected on form.
Selections: #6 Immediate Edge, #4 Beynac, #7 Casus Belli, #5 High Queue
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R135.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: ONE RELIGION is holding form nicely and looks the one to beat. She is two from two over the course and distance. FETCHING FLYER has the same claim to fame and even though a bit disappointing in her last two must not be discounted. DONNA MO is capable of a lot better. She should relish being over a more suitable distance. KADIZORA disappointed as well recently. She has a win to come but a wide draw makes it tough here. Stablemate GREENHOUSE is a well-bred and lightly raced sort that should get better with racing.
Selections: #4 One Religion, #7 Todoque, #3 Fetching Flyer, #1 Donna Mo
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Apprentice handicap and it is quite competitive. TINTAMARRE wasn’t far off in a strong field and should enjoy the drop in class. He should go the extra on pedigree. CARNELO is holding form and would be deserving. He ran a decent race in a stronger heat last time and could show the strength of that form. OMBUDSMAN ran a fair race last week and could build on that and challenge for the win. FUTUREWOLFF ran away with the win last time and not only has he secured the best of the draws but he has a 2,5kg apprentice claim. Most have some sort of claim – go wide in exotics.
Selections: #1 Tintamarre, #8 Carnelo, #3 Ombudsman, #2 Futurewolff
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R135.000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: FOREVERINMYDREAMS won impressively when backed over 1000m last time. She has stamina in her pedigree and should enjoy extra so can follow up. However, this is a tough race. Watch out for SORCERESS SUPREME who won easily over this distance in her penultimate start. She has also drawn well. JUST BE LEKKER has produced some excellent performances over this trip and 1450m and has accordingly been given a high rating. She has drawn a bit wide but must be respected. CHROME TOURMALINE, LITTLE BALLERINA, HIERKOMMIEBOKKIE and more make it a strong contest.
Selections: #7 Foreverinmydreams, #4 Sorceress Supreme, #3 Chrome Tourmaline, #1 Just Be Lekker
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R105.000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: On current form two horses stand out. GREEN SAPPHIRE has been coming in leaps and bounds and has won two in a row. She is taking another hike in task but could be up to it. FASTNET FILLY has run second in two starts since she won two in a row. She ran a cracking amongst promising males last and should be ready to score again. Past these it is open. RIDE ON has decent form but has drawn a bit wide and is returning after a layoff. ALESIA’S LOVE, WE WILL ROCK YOU, KINGS AGAIN, GOLDEN MOMENT and MICKE’S BOMB could be in the fight for prize money.
Selections: #5 Fastnet Filly, #4 Green Sapphire, #3 Ride On, #1 Alesia’s Love
Turffontein Inside, 13.02.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R95.000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open race to end this apprentice race and divided fillies and mares handicap. Be sure to have a go at the trifecta and quartet. ILHA DA ORANGE didn’t show up last time but has a 4kg claim and a plum gate so could offer value. ODE TO THE OCEAN has givens signs she could be in the firing line soon. She is racing after a rest and is not the most consistent around. HEIRLOOM wasn’t beaten far recently and could be in the right race. MY ONE AND ONLY could prefer the extra now but has drawn wide. THERE SHE GOES, TWICE AS WILD and WAITFORGREENLIGHT all look capable of going close.
Selections: #2 Ilha Da Orange, #7 Ode To The Ocean, #5 Heirloom, #1 My One And Only
Best Win: #8 DESERT CLOUD
Best Value Bet: #1 TINTAMARRE
Best Longshot: #1 TINTAMARRE
