Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 2600m, Turf, R105.000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: SANTIAGO’S PRIDE is carded to have run last Saturday. If competing in this he can win. The exact same thing can also be said of rival LIGHTINTHESTORM. THE MERCIFUL is also carded to have run in that race so clearly the outcome of that race is key to this race. STOP THE TRAFFIC has not shown very much so far but is capable of improvement.
Selections: #1 Santiago’s Pride, #2 Lightinthestorm, #4 The Merciful, #5 Stop The Traffic
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R105.000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: CHERRY OH BABY has been a disappointment in that she has yet to win but she is knocking hard on the door and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. GREEN STREET has been runner-up in two of her three starts and will not go down easily this time either. MESSALINA is holding her form well and can contest the finish again. INTRO can earn some more money for her connections. ARTIC SILVER has a place chance. GIMME A CALL could be looking for this distance so expect improvement.
Selections: #4 Cherry Oh Baby, #1 Green Street, #7 Gimme A Call, #2 Messalina
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R200.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: LUCKY LAD was beaten by a high-class sprinter last time out and can bounce back to beat these rivals. WILLIAM ROBERTSON is always very competitive and should fight out the finish once again. ICE STAR did not show her best last time out but is in receipt of a nice weight this time around and has a place chance. MOUNT PILATUS continues to improve and deserves respect but this is his toughest task to date.
Selections: #1 Lucky Lad, #2 William Robertson, #6 Mount Pilatus, #5 Quantum Theory
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100.000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: A very competitive-looking handicap and it may pay to go as wide as possible in all the exotics like the Pick 6. PACIFIC is in good form and does set the standard for the race. LONELY AS A CLOUD and IN THE ETHER both seem better than their last run would suggest. TOGETHER AGAIN is very unreliable but could earn some money. DANCING DORA is carded to have run on Saturday 15 February but she can win a race like this. SMELTING only found one too good on the day last time out and can go one better.
Selections: #5 Pacific, #6 Together Again, #7 Dancing Dora, #9 Smelting
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R130.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: FIRE ATTACK has been runner-up in his last two starts. Those performances were behind quality sorts and he looks hard to oppose if repeating that level of form. WILD INTENT is clearly better than his last run would suggest and can contest the finish. HOTARUBI has run well below his merit rating in his last two starts but can earn some money. CALANTHA and PEACE TREATY have work to do at these weights but are both capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections: #1 Fire Attack, #3 Hotarubi, #6 Calantha, #7 Peace Treaty
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R120.000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ONE MORE STAR is clearly improving and was unlucky not to win last time out. He is well drawn and should make a bold bid at scoring. BANHA BRIDGE has been campaigning over further of late but was a winner over this distance. DARK SILVER and DIESEL’S SHADOW both ran well last week and can contest the finish. CHARIOT OF FIRE showed good improvement last time out and can have more to offer.
Selections: #3 One More Star, #5 Diesel’s Shadow, #10 Chariot Of Fire, #4 Dark Silver
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R150.000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: TOTAL SURRENDER likes this track and should fight out the finish. KUDZU is knocking very loudly at the door and will be very competitive once again. QUATERMAIN is consistent and not out of it. MAJESTIC PALACE will strip fitter after his last run but does have a difficult draw to overcome. MOUNT DARWIN is holding form and is capable of winning a race like this.
Selections: #10 Total Surrender, #11 Kudzu, #12 Quatermain, #5 Majestic Palace
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R135.000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Another very competitive handicap. VULCANITE scored some nice victories but lost her way in some feature races since then. Back in a handicap she might recoup losses. BLUE HORIZON may have just needed her last run and could be a danger. DOITWITHDIAMONDS has been very consistent for trainer Tony Peter and she has a winning chance this track and distance. AVOONTOAST is threatening to score again and has won at this track. ROAMING SPIRIT and SHAMPIMPI are both arriving for this after winning and are clearly capable of scoring again.
Selections: #1 Vulcanite, #12 Shampimpi, #2 Blue Horizon, #4 Doitwithdiamonds
Turffontein Inside, 20.02.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R105.000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Another tough leg of the Pick 6. IT’S HER WAY has shown improvement of late and can win from this draw. LAST GINGER is in good shape and and has a winning chance. JUNIPER GREEN showed she can be competitive off her current rating. PRINCESS ILARIA is better than her last run would suggest. SNEAK PREVIEW is unreliable but clearly not out of it. SHES EVERYTHING looked much improved when winning last time out and could be better than rated. PRETTY ANALIA can also get involved with the finish.
Selections: #1 It’s Her Way, #10 Pretty Analia, #5 Sneak Preview, #4 Princess Ilaria
Best Win: #1 FIRE ATTACK
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #1 VULCANITE
