Turffontein Standside Tuesday Formguides And Selections
R1 8 TURN IT UP by Querari is a half-brother to Gr 1 Gold Medallion winner Proceed and his career began in almost identical fashion with a strong-finishing second behind a firecracker over 800m, so he should go one better over this suitable step up in trip. 2 CATFISH is by Danon Platina out of a Var mare and Gavin Lerena is an eyecatching booking. 1 BUFFALO KING CODY made a good debut behind a firecracker and should be a big runner. 3 DAD’S DREAM ran a good race on debut in a good field and should be in the shake up. (8-2-1-3)
R2 4 DUCHESS ZAHRA made a good debut and should go close with expected improvement. 1 PRINCESS OF ALL has some fair form and can earn. 5 ELEGANT EDGE made a good debut and should be in the shake up. 6 FOXY AFTER DARK is by Captain Of All out of a Jet Master mare and is a half-sister to twice winner Plus Four (Vercingetorix). (4-1-5-6)
R3 8 TAKING A RISK has been knocking on the door and gets a good opportunity here. 7 STONEYWOOD is a full brother to Dyce and can put his moderate debut run behind him. 4 EDELSTEEN is capable of improving on his moderate debut. 6 SABRAGE is a full brother to Old Fashioned who has reeled off two wins in succession recently after battling until blinkers were applied, so this one could also improve. (8-7-4-6)
R4 3 DELAWARE RIVER is knocking hard and gets a fine opportunity over a suitable trip from pole position. 1 WINDS OF GRACE is knocking hard and the wide draw should not be insurmountable in this small field. 9 THE REASON improved second time out and Yeni stays aboard over a step up in trip she should relish. 7 ASMINDEROD is by Erik The Red and is a half-sister to Atticus Finch. (3-1-9-7)
R5 10 REECE’S WISH has run two fine seconds and should go one better with Lerena staying aboard. 3 STAY TUNED has gone close in both starts and should be right there. 8 TROMBOLINES made a fine debut and is a big runner here from pole position over a suitable step up in trip. 4 RED SUNRISE has been close up in his last two starts and is a contender. (10-3-8-4)
R6 4 SPEEDMAN looks to be going places and can make it three from three despite a wide draw. 1 PARISIAN WALKWAY has been disappointing in features but will appreciate the step down in trip and can bounce back in this lesser company. 3 SOLAR SAIL has the class to be a contender here too. 2 DECEPTION PASS is capable of earning here. (4-1-3-2)
R7 5 UNITED COUNCIL is an up and coming stayer who could be a strong contender here. 6 BREEZE OVER usually starts slowly but is dangerous if able to get to the front without using up to much energy. 4 NEBRAAS has been in good form lately and can earn again. 3 NAVAJO NATION disappointed in the Summer Cup but could earn in this easier field over a trip he should get as he was not disgraced in the Gold Cup over 3200m last season. (5-6-4-3)
R8 9 MILITARY MOVES ran well first time out the maidens and from pole position over a suitable trip should go close. 6 REPETITION ran a fine race last time out in Cape Town over 1800m and is the one to beat if able to repeat, but he does have a tough draw. 5 REAL STUNNER won his maiden easily and starts handicapping here off a reasonable mark, but does have a wide draw. 2 ZIP CODE flew up late over 1475m at the Vaal on Saturday for a close fourth and on pedigree should enjoy this trip. (9-6-5-2)
R9 2 MICHAEL FARADAY produced a strong finish from off the pace on Saturday over 1400m and only just failed and Gavin Lerena stays aboard over a trip he stays. 3 APOSTROPHE won well in the maidens and over a suitable trip can make a good handicap bow over a reasonable 78 merit rating. 7 COMMANDER OF ALL should be competitive in this field over a suitable trip. 1 THE MIGHTIEST is in good form and could earn against the boys here. (2-3-7-1)
R10 9 TOMMY ADKINS won his maiden well and the form has been franked so he can do well off a reasonable 83 merit rating. 2 WAR OF KINGDOMS will be a threat if reproducing his last start from this good draw. 4 GUERILLA WARFARE ran well on Grand Heritage day and should be in the shake up. 6 CLEVER TREVOR tries further again and off a four point lower mark could be a contender from a fair draw. (9-2-4-6)
