TURFFONTEIN RACECOURSE
Built in 1887, the Turffontein Race Track is one of South Africa's oldest horse racing venues. 2700m oval. Races up to 1200m straight course; beyond 1200m clockwise round turn with 800m run-in. Track rises 12m from 1600m to 800m marks, making it the most testing circuit in SA. Low-number draws preferable over 1400m and 1600m, while over other distances draws are generally of little account.
RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE@2019.07.13
Turffontein Inside, 13.07.2019, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R95.000, 6:15PM
Race Summary: ROOI TOM is ready to win. He was nabbed late last time when over 4 lengths ahead of KALGOORLIE and should confirm. MAGIC VISION drops back to 1200m but with blinkers on could be sharper. GUNNER RUNNER hasn't been far off in all 3 starts to date and should be thereabouts again. TITELIST wasn't disgraced on debut and with a fancied first-timer could make the money.
Turffontein Inside, 13.07.2019, Race 2, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R95.000, 6:50PM
Race Summary: AFRICAN ROCK has been threatening and could have his consistency rewarded in this field. MOVIE MAGIC ran well in KZN last time and should be in the shake-up. INCANTATION has a previous engagement but if takes his place should be thereabouts. GREY POWER and SHORT SKIRT FLIRT are looking for minor money.
Turffontein Inside, 13.07.2019, Race 3, Gallops, 1450m, Turf, R95.000, 7:25PM
Race Summary: READYSETGLO made marked improvement in her last run but needs to confirm. Year-younger GALLIC PRINCESS never traveled well last time and has plenty of scope for improvement. EXULTANT could be hampered by a wide draw but has a shout. MIDNIGHT TOP, MELLOW MUSIC, COTOPAXI and QUEEN OF SOUL could get into the money.
Turffontein Inside, 13.07.2019, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R95.000, 8:00PM
Race Summary: VETRI VEL is a strong front runner and from a good draw could be hard to catch. Stable companion BYRON BAY was hampered last time and never recovered. Expect a better run. MAROON BELLS was a touch unlucky last time and could win fresh. DRY YOUR EYES is holding form. GOLD GRIFFIN showed improvement last time but needs to confirm. ROYAL SIEGE should relish the extra.
