Turffontein Race 4 - Allez France Stakes (Fillies & Mares)
INTO DANCING (3) Displayed potential when winning by 1L last run at Vaal and will appreciate the drop in weight. Jockey Blaine Marx Jacobson has been successful before. Going well this preparation. Should be right in the finish. SCARLET O'HARA (4) Landed the spoils when winning by 1 3/4L last start at Vaal and gets a reduction in weight. Jeffery Syster is a plus. Very competitive this campaign. Good chance in this event. FRANGIPANI (5) Ran 3rd last time at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Shows good early pace. Dropping weight. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. UTSAAH (6) On a short turnaround. Solid win by more than 2 1/2L last time here and drawn nicely. Won last 2 on the trot and gets some weight relief. Respect against this field.

Backs up quickly after a brave second at this track last week, where she was unwanted in the market but missed by only a neck behind Flower Island over 1450m. That was a sharp return after finishing last at Greyville the run prior, and her overall record of six wins and three placings from 12 starts gives the effort substance. With Trent Mayhew back aboard, she has sound claims for another placing.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain sixth at this venue, beaten over 11 lengths behind I'm A Fireball at big odds on soft ground. Her previous run was also well below her best when last over 2000m at this track, again unwanted in betting. The class drop is some help, but she is untried at 2200m and recent figures leave her with plenty to find.

Returns from a one-month let-up in consistent form, having won an FM Benchmark 91 at Vaal by a length from Surprise Party after being well supported. That followed a close third behind Merryweather at Turffontein Standside, so her recent profile is reliable. She gets weight relief and has already beaten Frangipani, but 2200m is new ground and that keeps her in the place-claims bracket rather than making her a clear top pick.

Returns from a two-month break off a Vaal win, scoring by two lengths in an FM RBH81 over 1800m as favourite. She had earlier run second to Frangipani at this track in FM Benchmark 99 grade, beaten a length, which ties her into the right form line. Her four wins from eight starts read well, but the first attempt at 2200m means she profiles as a strong place hope rather than a standout.

Brings the best track profile in the race, with three wins and a placing from four starts at this venue, and she now gets in with 52kg. Last start she was third as a heavily backed favourite in an FM Benchmark 91, beaten just over four lengths, after finishing close up behind Into Dancing at Vaal. The new 2200m is a legitimate question, but the class drop and venue record make her the horse to beat.

Comes in off consecutive wins, most recently beating Euphrates by just under three lengths in a Benchmark 80 over 2600m at this track. She had also scored at Vaal over 2400m, so the winning form is current and her light weight is attractive. Coming back to 2200m is the query, but the quick back-up and recent confidence give her genuine minor-money appeal.
