PREVIEW:TURFFONTEIN (INNER) -  24 MAY 2015

<

Betting supplied by MBet

RACE 1:

SCARE TACTICS must have a shout on his vastly improved latest start. HYPOTHERMIC made a fair enough debut last time despite hanging. ROMAN CALAMITY has been improving with each run and should relish the extra distance. SCHILLACI just weakened latter stages last time this distance. Not out of it. ROMANY PRINCE was supported on debut last time but never showed. Could be the big improver this race.

1st - SCARE TACTICS (12); 2nd - HYPOTHERMIC (7); 3rd - ROMAN CALAMITY (10); 4th - SCHILLACI (13); 5th - ROMANY PRINCE (11)

RACE 2:

There are a number of rapidly improving fillies in this race. GUEST LODGE was an unlucky loser last time in a hugely improved latest effort. Can make amends. ARCHETYPE also ran her best race last time despite losing ground at the start. Should challenge this afternoon. BANK THE BILL has hung in both of her two races to date but there was significant improvement last time when staying on well. WINDY DESERT stayed on when making huge improvement last time. KHALETTE is improving but needs a far greater finish.


1st - GUEST LODGE (7); 2nd - ARCHETYPE (2); 3rd - BANK THE BILL (3); 4th - WINDY DESERT (14); 5th - KHALETTE (8)

RACE 3:

There is always a hint that PIED PIPERESS could be ready to win her maiden sooner rather than later. She has disappointed before. Piere Strydom rides her for the third consecutive time and will be hoping to make it third time lucky. UPON A DREAM is inconsistent but appears to be beset by problems. This is not a strong field of maiden fillies that has been assembled for this race and she could win a race such as this. ROSE OF CASTILLE has improved in her last two. Can have a shout. ZAVARONI ran her best race in three by a long way last time when racing on the Greyville polytrack. She never came through her latest effort entirely unscathed. PRIDE IN BATTLE can place at best. One fair run in eight is all she has to show for her efforts.


1st - PIED PIPERESS (2); 2nd - UPON A DREAM (3); 3rd - ROSE OF CASTILLE (1); 4th - ZAVARONI (4); 5th - PRIDE IN BATTLE (7)

RACE 4:

JOLIE ROGER drops in class, has been gelded and has not seen the track for just over a year. He could be worth following if he does not need the run. MOVIE MAN finished a distant second on the sand last time. Has good form at present and could challenge. ROZARIO had his excuses from his last race. Must be considered and can run well into the money. TRIPP FORCE has shown potential but returns having made respiratory noises in running. DON CHRISTO makes his debut. Watch the betting.


1st - JOLIE ROGER (9); 2nd - MOVIE MAN (1); 3rd - ROZARIO (2); 4th - TRIPP FORCE (3); 5th - DON CHRISTO (8)


RACE 5:

HALVE THE DEFICIT is top class and looks to have the beating of this field, although it will not be easy. He is unbeaten this C & D (2 from 2). He is well weighted to win this but should have some cheek from RUSHMORE RIVER who will be running on. HEAVY METAL had his excuses last time but he should soon be back to his best. TELLINA will be better back over this distance and should earn. MEISSA did not run to expectations last time. Has quite a bit to do here.


1st - HALVE THE DEFICIT (1); 2nd - RUSHMORE RIVER (9); 3rd - HEAVY METAL (2); 4th - TELLINA (3); 5th - MEISSA (6)

RACE 6: SYRINGA HANDICAP (Listed) - ESTIDRAAJ could give Mike De Kock and Johnny Geroudis a feature race double for the weekend

The trainer Mike De Kock and jockey combination could end the weekend with a double feature race win when they challenge for top spot in the Listed Syringa Handicap at Turffontein, 550km away from their Grade 1 success at Scottsville yesterday with, yet another Australian bred, ESTIDRAAJ.

ESTIDRAAJ did not show the last time she ran. That was in the Grade 1 SA Fillies Classic at Turffontein, on the stand side track, one month ago. She won her penultimate against weaker than today on this track when finishing well to do so. This will be the first time that Johnny Geroudis gets aboard this three year old filly. She has looked promising, but has disappointed when it really matters. This could be different this afternoon. She has won over the distance before. That was on the polytrack at Greyville when she won by just under ten lengths. She is by no means a "good thing" but needs to be respected in this field, especially if she is in the mood to race, which hasn't always been the case with her.

SEVENTH HEART has not disappointed in her four runs where she has won three of them and looks to be very progressive. The only race that she failed to win was her penultimate one when she weakened over this C & D. She definitely needs another chance today and has already been priced up as antepost favourite. The Sean Tarry/S'Manga Khumalo combination also scored in a Grade 1 race at Scottsville yesterday afternoon and for the owners, the Jooste's, it could be yet another feature race success. One would be hard-pressed to find the winner coming from elsewhere.

MISS RAMBO will be finding extra but has something to find to actually win this race. NOT SULKING has raced against stronger but has been disappointing against some really top class horses. SE AGABOR was way below par last time in a race against stronger. Could find a place at best. One should include the other Mike De Kock runner, MAYAAT, who has won this C & D, but needs to find more at the business end of her races.

1st - ESTIDRAAJ (6); 2nd - SEVENTH HEART (9); 3rd - MISS RAMBO (14); 4th - NOT SULKING (1); 5th - SE AGABOR (11)

RACE 7:

NOOR DUBAI will be doing her best work late. Should go close to winning her second race. SOLDIER GIRL ran her best post maiden run last time despite being carried out. Has a huge shout. GRAND EPOQUE was not disgraced in her post maiden run last time. Yet to run a bad race. BRIGHT BRONTE is a little inconsistent but on her day can win this. SPRING BLASTER needs to find a better finish than last time.


1st - NOOR DUBAI (2); 2nd - SOLDIER GIRL (1); 3rd - GRAND EPOQUE (4); 4th - BRIGHT BRONTE (8); 5th - SPRING BLASTER (9)

RACE 8:

SHE'S A FLIRT is never that far back and did find a better finish last time. VIVACIOUS LADY showed huge improvement last time despite being baulked at the 300m mark. WINDINMYHAIR made a decent debut last time and should improve. SEVEN KINGDOMS ran her best race in four last time but still has some more to do. PRINCESS PEARL is improving nicely and should improve even more.


1st - SHE'S A FLIRT (1); 2nd - VIVACIOUS LADY (3); 3rd - WINDINMYHAIR (11); 4th - SEVEN KINGDOMS (5); 5th - PRINCESS PEARL (2)
