The Turffontein Inside track stages a low key eight race meeting on Sunday and the highest rated race is a fillies and mares 92 Handicap over 1000m in which topweight Frederico’s Dream will benefit from the 4kg claim of up and coming apprentice Luke Ferraris.
This Gimmethegreenlight filly is blessed with a lot of pace and her low draw of two should allow her to be handy or in front, although Ferraris also has the option of sitting behind the pace as he has the speedy Levi Lady on his inside and the speedy Kissable is drawn wide. She has the ability to kick so should be suited to this tight track and is made the best bet of the day on a tricky card. Kissable bounced back to her best last time and her excellent pace will also suit this tight track as long as she does not have to be used up too much to overcome a wide draw. If all of the speedsters fade in the final stages then Opera could pick up the pieces as she has been consistently close up and has a fair draw. Frederico’s Dream has been made a PA banker but those mentioned might have to be included in the Pick 6 along with Levi Lady, Memphis Belle, La Bella Mia and Image Reward.
The other PA banker is Fariha in the first leg. This rangy type has a lot of scope for improvement and found no extra last time over this 1600m course and distance from a wide draw. She has a better draw this time and can make amends.
In the second leg of the PA and first leg of the Pick 6 Imperial Quest has been expensive to follow but in this uninspiring field should go close. First-timer Rescue is the most interesting runner here as this R400,000 Crusade gelding is a half-brother to Gold Cup winner Wild One.
The Jackpot could be the best bet of the day.
In the first leg Nawaasi should improve over this 1400m trip and Milesend and Regal Girl should be enough as back ups if he fluffs his lines.
The next leg is a stayers race. These events can produce bomb results, but Ali Bon Dubai is a progressive sort who might be eyeing feature events so connections will want him to win this to get his merit rating up. Let It Rain is the best weighted horse and relished going to the front last time in his first run for this new yard. However, he likely has bigger fish to fry, so Walter Smoothie, who ran well in the SA Derby can be included. Inn A Million, Cool Chardonnay and Girl On The Run can also be considered.
Helios and The Rising Legend can fight out the next leg as two up-and-coming sorts.
The final leg of the Pick 6 is wide open and players are advised to go as wide as possible.
