Turffontein Tuesday

Discuss Below

Ocean city
Queen of war

Been in crap form,last two days only 2x4th places

Mercer girl (win)
40/1 or 5/1 for 3rd place

Trainer should have put a -4kg apprentice on

This horse was doing well after her maiden win,she won her post maiden run and ran 4th next time out!

Last 3runs have been way below her best,she has not shown anything :blink: :blink: :blink:

But she's in a smaller field today and can return back to best

Her post maiden run
FM 74 HANDICAP (F & M)
Carried 54kgs and won by a short head

Nawaasi (finished 3rd) 55kgs
Dalai's promise (finished 8th) 3.45lengths of Mercer girl
After this race Dalai went on a 3race winning streak and Most recent run a second to prince of kahal

Nawaasi recent form does merit her the right to favoritism but is carrying 8.5kgs more than her last race and 4kgs more than when she was beat by Mercer girl

But mercer girl form,says she will run last

IF MERCER GIRL RETURNS TO FORM AND RUNS THE RACE SHE DID WHEN BEATING TODAYS FAVORITE SHE WILL ONLY BE CARRYING 1kg MORE THAN THE LAST TIME THEY MET AND NAWAASI 4KGS MORE

61 day break,so she should be running fresh and fit

One strong bet on today's card:

R3: JUNGLE BOOK

If the 2nd run after syndrome does not beat this it will win, The only danger is MATLOOB who had a great debut run.

Seemingly there have been riots close to the track

No comment on MATLOOB from Tarry r3?

Seems like the South African Police is unprepared for what is facing them - shining example of lawlessness - let me rather not start ....

If we race, I think the Magner stable is in for a good day; Flower of Scotland should appreciate the step up to 1160m - pity abt the inside draw though; See My Vision another with an inside draw but should also be close up; best of them all imo is The Makwakkers

In the 4th, I think Revelation is worth inclusion, while in the 6th Passion Peach is weighted to win - but also has an inside draw to cope with ...

Enjoy

did passion peach and queen of war meet ?

i did not see passion peach and queen of war meet
queen of war ran 2l behind ocean city where ocen city carried 56.5 and q of w carried 56.5 is now level weighted with the claim

passion peach ran 5.3l behinf ocean city o city carried 57.5 passion peach carried 55.5 now 52.5 so its a 2kg difference for 3.3l and queen of war has run at the course where passion peach has not yet and has the favoured draw but i dont think will matter to much as i think these 2 will be 3l clear of the rest so ill stick with queen of war

I also think he has a good chance... there was a winner from his run Free Deal..

Maybe a Kabelo double today with Nawaasi
