PREVIEW:TURFFONTEIN (INNER) - 23 AUGUST 2014

POWER RUSH has been making slow improvement. This will be eighteenth run but is already eight years old! Could surprise but may be worth a few place bets. HYAKU has had two fair runs and should improve further. CONFABULATE should have more to find for the win. MASTERLY makes his debut. Must have had his problems as he is already a four year old. BOY BOY disappointed on sand last time. Ignore that run.

1st – POWER RUSH (55/1) (6); 2nd – HYAKU (13/20 F) (11); 3rd – CONFABULATE (8); 4th - MASTERLY (7); 5th – BOY BOY (1)

WILL I DO has a chance on debut run two runs back. BAD DREAM began her career promisingly in runs one and two but has failed to kick on. TWILIGHT TIGER did not have the best of starts last time. Better previous run. BOLD APPROACH was supported on debut last time. Did not show. Give another chance. GOLD CUP GIRL is better than her latest effort when hanging badly.

1st – WILL I DO (5/2 F) (10); 2nd – BAD DREAM (1); 3rd – TWILIGHT TIGER (3); 4th - BOLD APPROACH (6); 5th – GOLD CUP GIRL (2)

WEAPONOLOGY was interfered with last time when running well. BOW 'N ARROW is inconsistent but has a shout on latest effort. OPAH LATINO has a place chance at best. Moderate form. THE GOLDEN BOY did not show over shorter last time. This looks to be his better trip. RED INN has a claim on penultimate start this C & D.

1st – WEAPONOLOGY (5/4 F) (1); 2nd – BOW 'N ARROW (2); 3rd – OPAH LATINO (8); 4th - THE GOLDEN BOY (4); 5th – RED INN (3)

LASS O'GOWRIE can improve on a fair debut when starting at 66/1. MISS RAMBO has shown improvement in each run since making her debut three runs back. ANITA ran her best race in nine when staying on over 2000m last time. RUBY RUBY cast a shoe in running last time. Chance on previous runs. SANCTUM has moderate form. More to find for the win.

1st – LASS O'GOWRIE (11/2) (13); 2nd – MISS RAMBO (11/10 F) (1); 3rd – ANITA (3); 4th - RUBY RUBY (10); 5th – SANCTUM (5)

HAVANA BEAT drops a bit in class and has done enough in his last two to suggest that he could go all the way in this field. Has been finding a good finish. NATIONAL BOUNTY does not have the best of form but could be the surprise in the race. KAPITAN ran a decent post maiden last time. Shouldn't be too long in picking up his second win. QUAD BAY needs to find a better finish. EXCALIVAR has been moderate in both post maidens. Place chance at best.

1st – HAVANA BEAT (37/10) (1); 2nd – NATIONAL BOUNTY (9); 3rd – KAPITAN (357/100 F) (4); 4th - QUAD BAY (2); 5th – EXCALIVAR (3)

GANESH has been a very close finisher in his last three starts. Ran on well in those three starts. Should go close again. DANSILI EXPRESS has been campaigning in Kimberley where he won his latest by five lengths. Could go close. LIONS EMBLEM has shown very little in his three post maiden runs. VENTURE is inclined to be slow away. Can earn something. CHAMPION STRIDER won his maiden at the eleventh attempt last time. Will probably need to confirm.

1st – GANESH (5/2 JF) (3); 2nd – DANSILI EXPRESS (9); 3rd – LIONS EMBLEM (5/2 JF) (1); 4th - VENTURE (2); 5th – CHAMPION STRIDER (4)

DANCETHEMOONAWAY will be running on and he finished second in his last three starts. KING OF MAGIC stayed on well last time. GLOBAL POWER ran around late last time which cost him in the end. TIGER HOTSPUR should improve on a fair post maiden effort last time. KING'S WILD was rewarded for some decent runs. Won well last time. That win was this C & D.

1st – DANCETHEMOONAWAY (33/10 F) (7); 2nd – KING OF MAGIC (9); 3rd – GLOBAL POWER (1); 4th - TIGER HOTSPUR (2); 5th – KING'S WILD (5)

This should be a two-horse race. EURAKILON finishes well and has the form to win. NORGAY was found wanting late over further last time. Far better this distance. ANTARCTIC CALL is slow away but finishes well. RED RAIN won his post maiden last time when finishing well but that was against quite a bit weaker. SHIMMERING GEM did not show last time. That was in a similar strength field. May battle again.

1st – EURAKILON (37/10) (2); 2nd – NORGAY (33/10 F) (6); 3rd – ANTARCTIC CALL (9); 4th - RED RAIN (8); 5th – SHIMMERING GEM (5)

KLONDIKE RIVER has done everything in his last two starts but win. KEAGAN'S JET has some fair form but has been found to finish making respiratory noises. BOLT OF LIGHT has no form but takes on slightly weaker. MAI THAIGA did not show over further last time. Consider this journey. AARON'S ELEMENT won on debut last time. May need to confirm but keep an eye on the betting.

1st – KLONDIKE RIVER (11/2) (7); 2nd – KEAGAN'S JET (4); 3rd – BOLT OF LIGHT (1); 4th - MAI THAIGA (37/10 F) (2); 5th – AARON'S ELEMENT (8)
