Turn It Up looks capable of landing the unofficial Champions Season Two-year-old Triple Crown (Picture: Race Coast)
Turn It Up – This Sean Tarry-trained Laurence Wernars homebred Querari colt put in the most impressive display by a two-year-old this season when coming from way off the pace to win the Big Slipper with ease over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. He looks capable of doing the Two-year-old Champions Season Triple Crown, the Gr 1 Gold Medallion over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, the Gr 2 Durban Golden Horseshoe over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Greyville and the Gr 1 World Pool Moment Of The Day Champion Stakes over 1600m at Hollwoodbets Greyville.
Note To Self – This big son of Futura has a fine turn of foot and is improving all the time. Justin Snaith has nurtured him into a horse who is now ready to show his true worth. The Varsfontein Stud-bred bay is out of an unraced Judpot mare who coms from the family of Master Of My Fate, London News, Malmoos, Kings Gambit, Covenant, Erik The Red, Promisefromyheart and many other big names, so races like the Gr 1 Daily News 2000 and the Gr 1 HKJC World Pool Champions Cup could be on the radar and he must have a big chance in the Hollywoodbets Durban July.
Double Grand Slam – the Justin Snaith-trained Vercingetorix mare’s fourth career Gr 1 victory in the Empress Club Stakes over 1600m at Turffontein Standside could well have been the most impressive win of her career and she now looks to be a dominant force. She will have another crack at the Gr 1 SA Fillies Sprint over 1200m, in which she was enormously unlucky last season, and will then defend her crown in the Gr 1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes over 1600m.
Wish List – this Justin Snaith-trained Legislate filly is already a twice Gr 1 winner. She is small and has an uncomplicated action and a fine turn of foot. Races like the WSB Fillies Guineas, Woolavington 2000 and the Hollywoodbets Durban July could be on her program.
Questioning – The Vaughan Marshall-trained Querari sprint-miler has come into his own as a five-year-old and has plenty of options like the Gr 2 IOS Drill Hall Stakes over 1400m, the Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge over 1600m and the Gr 1 Mercury Sprint over 1200m.
