Race 1
ASARULUDU has produced two good efforts to date. He raced from a handy position over 1200m on this course last time, but found one too good in the form of Captain Catman. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of William Longsword will be at home over the 1400m and can shed his maiden tag. He is carded to race on 08 January 2023 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
CORSICAN stayed on when third over this distance on the turf last time. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
L’ULTIMO ran a good race when second over 1600m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. If confirming his recent improvement, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 2
SEA OF TEARS has not finished too far off the winner and has decent consistent form lines to her credit. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in her last outing has come out and won since. It is encouraging that the blinkers have been removed for this outing. She jumps from pole position and in this line-up, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
MISSION ROCKS showed some improvement in her last start over 1200m on the turf. She was reported to be fatigued and also cast a shoe in running. The daughter of Crusade is a progressive type and may have more to come.
LITTLE LADY should have finished closer in her last start over 1600m as she was bumped at the 300m mark and reported to have tied up. She tries the polytrack for the first time and if suited, she can place.
Race 3
JOHNNY’S HOPE ran a good race when third over 1900m on the turf last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day was encouraging. The son of Canford Cliffs should enjoy the rise to 2000m and with the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Malesela Katjedi, he can shed his maiden tag in this field.
GREENBACKCURRENCY hails from the visiting Weiho Marwing stable. He was a tad disappointing in his last run over 1600m at Turffontein. His penultimate run over this trip on the Turffontein Inside course was encouraging. If all went well with his travels, he should pose a threat.
AGAMEMNON showed some improvement in his first run as a gelding over 2200m on the turf. He is the stable elect with Tristan Godden in the saddle and he should have more to come from pole position.
Race 4
VICTORY TWIST ran a fair race in his comeback run over 1400m on this course last time. He raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. The son of Flying The Flag runs well for Rachel Venniker and from barrier nine, he may be hard to peg back.
FOREST JUMP ran a good race when fourth in his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Serino Moodley retains the ride and if repeating his last effort, he should be one of the leading contenders.
BEND THE RULES fought back well when winning his last start over this distance on the turf. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory and should be involved in the finish.
Race 5
PEWTER SKY ran a creditable race when fourth over this distance on the turf last time. He lost a length at the start that day, but stayed on nicely at the finish. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He jumps from a good draw of two and if getting away on terms, he should be the one to beat.
IBUTHO has produced two fair runs since returning from an 18-week break. He has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. He takes a slight drop in class and with a bit of luck from his awkward draw of nine, he should pose a threat.
RODRIGUEZ lost two lengths at the start last time, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. He should have no issues with the drop to 1600m and if jumping on terms, he should be right there at the finish.
Race 6
CANDY FOR MY MOMMY was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this C&D. She ran on well and fought hard all the way to the line. She takes a drop in class and with Thabiso Gumede retaining the ride, she can follow up.
VISION OF WILL ran a fair race over 1200m on this course last time. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from six starts over this C&D. On best form shown, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
MAGICALLEE returns from a well-deserved 10-week break which would have done her the world of good. She finished 4.6 lengths behind the second choice, three runs ago. She is 2kgs better off at the weights and should finish closer as a result. She is likely to show her early gate speed and may be hard to peg back.
Race 7
LOVE BOMB is much better than her recent form suggests. She has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. The 5yo mare has dropped to a merit rating of 88 and she takes a drop in class. On best form shown, she is capable of winning a race of this nature.
AISLING fought back well when winning her last start over 1100m on this course. She has won twice from three starts over this C&D. She is likely to race on the speed once again and can notch up the hat-trick.
LADY LEGEND should have finished closer last time as her pilot dropped her reins in the closing stages. It must be noted that Monashada has come out and won again since. She takes a slight drop in class and if repeating her penultimate run, she should be competitive.
Race 8
FIERY DUKE was his own worst enemy last time as he over raced in the early stages. However, he stayed on to finish third. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He finished 1.4 lengths behind CAPETOWN AFFAIR in his penultimate effort. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. If 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Malesela Katjedi is able to switch him off early, he should go close.
CAPETOWN AFFAIR has decent recent form lines to his name. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this C&D. He is likely to race on the speed once again and may be hard to peg back.
GIAMBATTISTA has good recent form lines to his name. He cost himself winning last time as he hung in the closing stages. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He takes a drop back in class and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, he should be involved in the finish
