Turffontein Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).
Race 1 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
The card opens with a weak Maiden plate, so be cautious when betting. My tentative selection is BILINGUAL. The filly has moderate form, but she can run into the placings in this field.
Suggested Bet – BILINGUAL EW @ 6/1❌
Race 2 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
LETS PLAY POKER was running on well in his last few starts. He should have no issues with a sprint race and should finish in the top three.
Suggested Bet – LETS PLAY POKER EW @ 4/1✅ EW Place
Race 3 – 1600m (Maiden Plate)
DANCE KING has been running well and is a leading contender. The form of his last run has been franked, and for me, he is the horse to beat.
Suggested Bet – DANCE KING EW @ 4/1✅ EW Win
Race 4 – 2000m (Maiden Plate)
LUNAR RAINBOW showed big improvement last time, and she can shed her maiden tag in this field. She should love the rise to 2000m and will be running on at the finish.
Suggested Bet – LUNAR RAINBOW EW @ 4/1❌
Race 5 – 2600m (Middle Stakes)
GOOD COUNCIL was too far back last time and had too much to do at the finish. Still, he ran on well and should be a massive threat here. If he is better placed with 400m to go, he will be mowing them down.
Suggested Bet – GOOD COUNCIL EW @ 5/1✅ EW Place
Race 6 – 1450m (MR 82 Handicap)
COPPER MIST ran against stronger last time when finishing fifth. He takes a drop in class and should be competitive. He represents excellent EW value.
Suggested Bet – COPPER MIST EW @ 5/1✅ EW Place
Race 7 – 1450m (MR 99 Handicap)
SOUTHERN BLAZE has won three of his last four starts. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. Racing with just 53.5kgs, he can go close.
Suggested Bet – SOUTHERN BLAZE EW @ 6/1✅ EW Win
Race 8 – 1600m (Novice Handicap)
WILD INTENT followed his maiden win with a good fourth. He found problems in running, but finished well. In the lucky last, he should run well and represent good EW value.
Suggested Bet – WILD INTENT EW @ 6/1✅ EW Place
