TURFFONTEIN INSIDE
Race 1
Captain My Captain was unplaced in stronger last time out but was close up in his twisted prior. Big winning chance. With the Stable companion being scratched the Tarry runner, Piaget Prince is the biggest danger to top honours. So Long Spring was runner up last time. Place chance again
11/10 (1) Captain My Captain
28/10 (6) Piaget Prince
33/10 (3) So Long Spring
33/10 (7) The Mars Man #
125/1 (4) Chapel Rock
Race 2
Serendipity with Striker onboard is short in the betting for a reason. Great form and overdue this win. Until Dawn is at nice odds for a place. Good run last time. Hurricane Lass improved nicely last time after an educational first effort. Place

16/10 (9) Hurricane Lass

Race 3
Michael could be the dark horse in this open staying contest. Nice penultimate over the 2000m trip. Graf Spee was eased at the 400 last time and has ability to overturn the last run with Sea Lord, who is favoured for a place top.
28/10 (1) Sea Lord
28/10 (5) Graf Spee

Race 4
Elusive Flyer ran another decent race last time out. In decent form and down in the MR. Good chance of overturning the favourite Save The Rhino who is also in decent form. Heavy weigh to shoulder which could be the difference. Storm Warning is one for the placings after an ok prior. Better run in penultimate. Place.
1/1 (1) Save The Rhino
5/1 (5) Elusive Flyer
6/1 (4) Fortune Fella
7/1 (2) Storm Warning
7/1 (6) Parisienne Chic
8/1 (3) Okavango Delta
16/1 (7) Eastern Pearl
Race 5
This MR 86 for 3yo fillies has some highly rated but unproven runners at those lofty merit ratings. The largely lightly raced bunch of fillies is headed by the De Kock runner Only To Win who has won once and placed on a weaker event last time out. By no means a confident first selection. Effortless could improve from the maiden win a place. Tundra Taita hasn't been too bad to date, place chance.
16/10 (1) Only To Win
9/2 (3) Effortless
11/2 (4) Think Twice

25/1 (7) All Done
Race 6
Silver Thursday is De Kock's runner in this event, and interestingly chose this event over the 3yo fillies event in previous. Hard to be competitive off the weights against older and still possibility over rated at this stage by the handicapper. There isn't much in the race to take her on if she has any ability and that could be the factor. My Friend Lee ran well last time out and could be a factor. Chance. Pool Party has decent form but nothing spectacular. Place.
17/20 (5) Silver Thursday

8/1 (7) Jo Mambo

20/1 (6) Waity Katie
Race 7
If ratings are anything to go by the former July nominee Hat Putano could be the horse to beat but the 3 time winner in Argentina could anything. Local debut here. Romany Prince could be a nice place bet on his form. Count Tassilo is in excellent form and going for the hattrick. Place.

Race 8
Rambo has dropped in the ratings and ran well last time out. Winning chance. Jackman dropped in class last time and ran a better race but didn't win. Place here. El Bombero won last time in this type of company. Place chance.
33/10 (4) El Bombero
7/2 (5) Jackman

Race 9
Ali Bon Dubai won so well last time out and could follow up in this event. American Tiger has visiting Delpech onboard. Could be a nice place bet. Same goes for Yer-maan, the old man, hasn't been too far off recently. Another place chance.
5/1 (1) Scotland
