Turffontein Saturday

Discuss

Kentucky Blue- faced colts last run - If I recall the going was better on the outside/mid - previous 1200m excellent just behind Eleni (twice a winner since) - I think the drop in trip sees her with a winning chance - Bi-pot banker for me(outside draw helps I think) HW have 3-1 (WSB 5-2) available - maybe exacta float with 1, 2,3,5,6,11,14

Zerodarkthirthy got closest to Surcharge

Gimme Hope Johanna looks ready to win

Race 2 - Gimme Hope Johanna
Race 5 - The Dazzler
Race 6 - Bold Eagle
Race 9 - Copper Jay

Could somebody please advise where the better going seems to be down the straight of the Turfontein Outside track. Quite a few races down the straight tomorrow and if the going is yielding/soft the advantage could be decisive, especially with the younger horses...

Thanks

I just love the puma....... don't know why.....

snap - but perhaps we like him more than he can deliver - might be unsound - if he flops the type i'd try in the Derby - let him run on from the back and see

Race 10: Imperial.Ounce is no star but think he found the right field here to finally break his maiden today

Race 6: Big support here for Dewali and lots of talk as well but I think this Bold Eagle looks progressive , delpech up to ride worth a nibble at 8/1

Race 7: Miss Khalifa is favourite but the stablemate is the one I like , Star flyer is improving with each run and beat Mazari last time who then came out to beat Frankly at around 10/1 worth a nibble imo

imo - outside has definitely been an advantage over the last few months - however there has been quite a lot of rain around during the week, so no guarantees today - I'll be watching the first two races closely .....

Looks a real tough cards - complicated by the juveniles and the recent 6 point increase in Ratings; in the 3rd Pure Blonde looks well weighted and could give Trip to Heaven a go (Green Pepper also a chance); the pace will be a factor in the 4th where there is nothing separating the top 4 in the betting; the 5th looks wide open, I'm definitely including the two recent maiden winners at the bottom of the weights, especially Helios who won well on debut and could be anything; in the Storm Bird I think William the Silent was very impressive in his debut win, while the filly Mazari looks big value at current odds; the Ruffian may be the race to make a stand, as I think it lies between Miss Khalifa and Frankly; the 8th is wide open and in the 9th, along with the obvious contenders, I'm giving Vicomte another chance

Enjoy
