Turffontein Saturday -The Big One

Just switched on TT, why were they using the old parade ring?

If you want a possible double, you could try Basadi Faith x Hawwaam but again nothing I'm too confident about.

Thanks

.....was about to ask the same thing.....saw them start doing this on the last Turffies meeting....why is it not announced and the reason for not using the "official" parade ring....:huh:

Lovely racing .... thoughts:

R2: I think it's possible that the BP could start with a bang - personally not that impressed with Invisible's debut - but she has the draw and obviously can't be ignored; I'm including runners like Kayla's Champ and Margot's Magic, who both should improve over the trip imo

R3: Basadi Faith the obvious one, 1160m maybe a problem, but did not seem to stop over the 1000 last time; if she does come up for air in the last bit, I think both Rio's Winter and True to Life could challenge her; on collateral form runners like Fly Away, Upcloseandpersonal and What You Are also to be considered and then of course Gin Fizz may improve if she settles - not easy if BF fluffs her lines

R4: Juveniles again, so anything can improve and then there is the first-timers (who luckily don't need inclusion in the P6); top 3 in the betting the obvious ones, but I think the filly Sarah could give them something to think about ....

R5: Return Flight the obvious one, but imo the 3 yr old fillies have not been that great, so I think the older fillies and mares will definitely make her run; Secret Potion at best is a lively runner imo and I also think Fresnaye will improve a lot on her local form shown to date

R6: Plated race, so should be not too difficult; for me Green Plains has a definite chance, wiht Mighty High, Exquisite Touch and Schippers all should be thereabouts; San Fermin in hot form, but I think has a little more to do against these

R7: Who can stay - Walter Smoothie a winner this trip, so has to be considered; Storm Warning upset potential at these weights; others to consider are Sunshine Silk and Forest Express, but a race that could produce an upset ....

R8: Hawwaam to redeem himself; Cascapedia imo the main danger

R9: Tough rendition of the Computaform Sprint; my first choice is Rebel's Champ, who may have been using his last run behind Trip to Heaven as a prep - very effective over this 1000 and nice value imo; obviously a few challengers lie TTH, Attenborough, Chimichuri Run and Pacific Trader to name a few

Not really drawn to the rest of the card .... Enjoy

I cannot have LYLE on a fav.

I will back MAGIC VISION

Turfontein empty for a big day......sad not much hype to fill it up

Good start for the punters one to follow
Very well bred

...was about to say something similar...looks like the Royal race day has eclipsed this Champions day meeting....:huh:

Always looking for value.

3) 8 True To Life
4) 14 Sarah
6) 1 Green Plains
7) 8 Storm Warning

So werk hy maar..............

CARRY ME CARRIE (WIN)
