RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2025.02.27
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R105.000, 12:10GMT+2
Race Summary: PANNING SILVER is well-related and after turning in a fair effort on debut could open her account. BLIND AMBITION brings fair Western Cape form into the race. She was second to a horse headed for better and could show the strength of that form. ON A JET PLANE has decent form and should prefer the longer distance. GIMME A CALL is also bred for it and she too has not disgraced herself over sprints. LIKE A PRAYER is a lot better than her last run at the Coast. TIPPERARY has shown the potential to be in the fight as well.
Selections: #8 Panning Silver, #2 Blind Ambition, #1 On A Jet Plane, #6 Gimme A Call
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R120.000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: SATYAGRAHA was gaining nicely at the end last time. He is back up in trip and if enjoying it could go all the way. But it is quite competitive. CHERRY OH BABY is regally bred and has shown some promise. Her form lines have worked out well and she could be tough to fend off. Watch out for MYSTIC VISION who should enjoy the extra but is carded to run prior. CHIEFTAIN’S SHIELD is an older horse with some decent runs to his name. He could make it tough. FUTURENAIRE disappointed last time but is looking for the extra.
Selections: #7 Satyagraha, #8 Cherry Oh Baby, #1 Mystic Vision, #3 Chieftain’s Shield
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R120.000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: THE MIGHTIEST can’t be faulted on recent form. She has drawn well and has given the impression that she should be effective over the distance. HUEHUETENANGO hasn’t drawn as well but impressed last time. He could get there if the race is run to suit. SANTIAGO’S PRIDE’s last run is best forgotten. He wasn’t at best but on top form could be a threat. SPIRITO SELVAGGIO is another that didn’t turn up in the right mood last time. He seems capable of better. GIFT OF ROYAL got up close and with TIBBOTT BOURKE and LUNAR RAINBOW could be right there.
Selections: #3 Huehuetenango, #11 The Mightiest, #1 Santiago’s Pride, #4 Spirito Selvaggio
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R135.000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Most have claims. SENSORIA could go all the way having drawn well yet again. AVOONTOAST produced a good finish to challenge last time and should be a threat again. DOITWITHDIAMONDS is worth trying over the distance. She has done little wrong. ONE RELIGION has run three good races in a row and has fitness on her side. She should make it tough. Watch out for PEARL IN HER CROWN, a youngster that could prefer the distance. MOUNT ETNA is not one to take lightly.
Selections: #9 Pearl In Her Crown, #8 Sensoria, #7 Avoontoast, #6 One Religion
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R105.000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: ANNWITHAN E was well backed and won in good style last time. She is returning from a rest but looks the one to watch out for. ANGEL’S WISH caught the eye last time and could be rounding into best form. She does have a prior engagement in a marathon event. PARTY PUNCH suddenly showed her best finishing slightly ahead of STREISAND who also ran a nice race in a decent class. Both need to be taken seriously. PLAY WITH FIRE wasn’t disgraced in a competitive race on the poly last time. She rates the dark horse back on turf. More can earn.
Selections: #8 Angel’s Wish, #3 Annewithan E, #6 Party Punch, #4 Streisand
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R120.000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Three-year-olds ON TARGET and ONE MORE STAR are promising and could fight it out. Both are getting better with racing and try the track for the first time – the former has the better draw. DIESEL’S SHADOW wasn’t disgraced behind an unbeaten youngster with scope. He could show the strength of that form. CHARIOT OF FIRE has been given time and did what was required to win last time. He can improve but a wide draw is a worry. TOWERS OF GOLD is capable and needs to be respected from a decent gate.
Selections: #4 On Target, #6 One More Star, #7 Diesel’s Shadow, #10 Chariot Of Fire
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R150.000, 15:40GMT+2
Race Summary: KING’S EXPRESS wasn’t disgraced in his first run after a rest. He should prefer the drop in distance but has gone from the best draw to a wide stall. TWO MILES WEST could be on the up. He won well even though hanging towards the outside last time. MOUNT DARWIN has honest form and he could take advantage from a plum draw but is racing after a rest. TOTAL SURRENDER showed up well back over a more suitable distance last time and looks well-placed. CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL, LA MOOHAL, STAR COIN and ROYAL EDITION must be respected.
Selections: #5 King’s Express, #8 Two Miles West, #12 Total Surrender, #9 Mount Darwin
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R125.000, 16:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Some strong form runners have been given wide draws. WARHAWK BOMBER should go well in this line-up but will need to time it right from gate 14. BIRTHRIGHT is another with decent form in strong races and has the gate speed to get into a good position from his stall. WILLOW EXPRESS has won some nice races here and gave signs in his last start that he could be back in business. KUDZU met a special sort in Spumante Dolce last time. He would be deserving after finishing runner-up in his last four starts. SALUTE THE FLAG won a good race. It is open past him.
Selections: #1 Warhawk Bomber, #3 Willow Express, #2 Birthright, #6 Kudzu
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R112.500, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Three-year-old Erupt filly LADY SABRINA could be the dark horse. She hasn’t done badly and can improve but has a tough task from a wide draw. GODSPEED could take advantage having drawn in gate two. She ran a cracker in her penultimate before a no-show on the poly. SIGRID SWING made good progress in her last start. She hasn’t drawn as well this time but could get the race run to suit. JUNIPER GREEN showed good pace recently and could keep up a good gallop to the end. QUANTUM and BOOM BOOM are always capable of earning.
Selections: #6 Sigrid Swing, #12 Juniper Green, #4 Godspeed, #2 Quantum
Turffontein Inside, 27.02.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R100.000, 17:25GMT+2
Race Summary: There wasn’t much between AFTER HOURS who won from the front and KOTINOS who stayed on well in third on their recent meeting. The form could get turned around at the revised weight terms. Watch out for CLARKSON who loves the track and has drawn well. ODE TO THE OCEAN is also capable of winning and from a decent draw should have every chance. CARNELO impressed in his last start and with confidence boosted he could repeat. COPPER JOHN met stronger last time but will need luck from a wide draw. More can upset.
Selections: #4 Kotinos, #9 Carnelo, #8 After Hours, #10 Copper John
Best Win: #4 ON TARGET
Best Value Bet: #9 PEARL IN HER CROWN
Best Longshot: #9 PEARL IN HER CROWN
