Turffontein, New Year's Eve

I think the favs will win the last two races, 8 and 9
So the pick 6 (pick 4) is worth a try.

Good Punting

The juvenile races are always difficult, this one looks no exception especially since some of the the raced runners have gone close.

Winter With Jo is a late foal and the late foals do take time to develop, so if this one arrives first time out, it could be special. May be drawn on the right side of the track which helps. Watch them go down then make a decision.

Pick 6
Horse Racing
TURFFONTEIN
[1, 2, 5, 9]/[5, 9]/[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7]/[1, 2, 4, 6]/[1]/[7]

4. SO THEY SAY
9. GRIMALDI could feature as the raced runners are exposed - Gelded on debut so no excuses if he runs out of the money
2. HERO'S HONOUR won a grade 1 over 2450m so don't ignore as the horse he beat that day is an international Gr 1 winner - Amazing that he has only been over futher than 2000m once since that win 2 years ago - Blinkers rightly removed and Luke gets up for the first time - I have taken a sentimental place double with FISHER KING(debut for Tarry) as that is his half brother by Willow Magic(should be running on)
3. THE CONTRACTOR - needed last in the soft - You don't run 3 lengths behind Eric The Red in a Gr2 without having proper ability - If he is ready these journeymen he faces today could easily de disposed off
1. REUNION
CHIMICHURI RUN and MR FLOOD

Good morning all

Hopefully we can all make some money and end the year well

Interesting runner in the second Fisher king related to heros honour who runs later in the card good breeding maybe bit short but worth a look
Race 3 what a miracle related to some speedsters could win this easily
Race 4 fancy officer as a big runner
Race 5 african adventure further this horse goes the better but surprisingly Muzi jumps off to ride Dance class
Race6 phinda mzala race over
Race 7 chimchuri run game set n match
Race 8 reunion looks special this is a galloping track and waiting to see this horse on the stand side this horse destined for bigger things
Race 9 skiminac always pops up at a decent price will cover with sell high
This has been a difficult here for all heres hoping 2021 is filled with blessings and more stay safe and happy punting

Seems a good card to play some fancies in the nose. Not rocket science and hopefully the form picks hold up

R1: Senescence
R2: Bella Chica
R3: What A Miracle
R4: Manteiro
R5: Dance Class
R6: Phinda Mazala
R7: Chimichuri Run
R8: Reunion
R9: Nartjie

One of those days when it seems too easy and I don't expect the exotics to pay much - thoughts:

R1: I think Roha has the stable's preferred work rider on, supported in the market last time and out of a Silvano mare should prefer this trip; So They Say and Senescence to chase her home

R2: Belle Chica at the weights look very hard to beat, and should also prefer the extra 200m, so except if the Marwing first timer is something special, I think BC the right one; Retallick next best

R3: Two debutantes being supported, so who knows; What a Miracle is by What A Winter out of a speedy dam--line, so should be speedy herself, but this may be race to tread carefully

R4: Tricky looking Maiden Plate; Immeasurable has the best form (only 3 lengths behind Got the Greenlight, although receiving 5 kgs), but the betting suggests he may need the run; not a lot between Shadow Creek, Officer and Manterio (who tries blinkers) last time, while the well-bred Grimaldi does not have be a superstar to win this on debut - seemingly no real betting support, but a reminder that Reunion started at 16/1 on debut :huh:

R5: Dance Class ran on Sunday, but as she takes her place here, it could indicate that the run on Sunday served as a gallop; surely looks hard to beat at these weights; African Adventure was raised a massive 11 points on a convincing win where he out-stayed the field - much tougher task here imo, and I make Imperial Ruby a bigger danger to DC - but DC also comfortably holds IR

R6: Competitive handicap; Phinda Mzala and Written in Stone both very consistent, so both should be right there again; I do prefer The Contractor, who may have needed his last run when behind WiS, and as pointed out has run only 3 lengths behind Erik the Red at level weights - should be too good here if he can repeat that run; Certifiable looks best around the turn, but does hold some sort of chance with Pidgeon Rock, while Holy Man looks held at these weights

R7: Looks a two-horse war; Chimichurri Run has not won for almost a year and may be 2nd best again behind True to Life who is in receipt of 4.5 kgs; If there were to be an upset, Winter Storm may provide that if returning to the form which saw him run close to Mr Flood this time last year - but he does seem better over 1000m

R8: This is a handicap, but Reunion looks very hard to oppose; only Fsquadron to beat

R9: Another hot favorite in the form of Nartjie - this is another handicap though, so runners like Sell High and especially Prospector (who tries blinkers) may give him a race; Shah Akbar for me a couple points too high, but can't be ignored either

Enjoy

Great start Frodo , give that man a bells :woohoo:
