Turffontein Race 7 - Tab Casino Fm 79 Divided Hcp (F & M)
TRADITIONAL BELIEF (6) has the most reliable set-up among the main chances, with her proven record at this track and distance the key point. She was only beaten a length and a half in a BM80 at this venue two starts ago, then was not disgraced when sixth over at Turffontein Inside, and the 2.5kg claim adds to a profile that looks ready to peak. PLUMBAGO PARK (2) is the clear danger after resuming with a fifth at Vaal, beaten a length and a half, and she gets weight relief with enough prior 1160m form to be dangerous. LOVE NOT WAR (4) has been consistent against stronger recent company, including a close fourth in FM BM89 grade, and barrier one gives her every chance to hold her form. GO GUCCI GO (7) comes off a first-up win at Vaal and gets weight relief, though she still has to show that maiden win converts to this tougher handicap.

Returns from a four-month break after a plain sixth at this track in Open grade, beaten seven and a half lengths despite firming from opening levels. Her previous eighth in BM84 company was sounder, beaten just over four lengths, and she is a genuine track-and-trip winner with two wins at around 1160m. The apprentice claim helps offset the 60kg, but recent form leaves her as an each-way chance only if she finds her sharper speed from barrier two.

Resumed with a solid fifth in a BM74 over 1000m at Vaal, beaten a length and a half at generous odds. That was a much more competitive effort than her previous eighth at Turffontein Inside, and she now gets meaningful weight relief after carrying 61.5kg first-up. She has a win and two placings at around 1160m, so the trip is workable, and this second-up set-up gives her a strong winning platform.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after ending last campaign with a two-length win at this track over 1400m, beating Hawksdale as favourite despite easing in betting. She had earlier run third at Vaal after being heavily backed, so her brief record has substance. With one placing from two tries around 1160m and a win from two starts at this venue, she has enough quality to be a genuine place chance fresh.

Closed off her latest Vaal run with a close fourth in FM BM89 grade, beaten just over a length after firming from opening levels. Two back she was third behind Playing Trix in FM BM85 company, though the margin was much wider. Her overall record of one win and four placings from eight starts reads well for this level, and with a sound recent base she profiles as a reliable place hope with some winning claims.

Made a winning debut over 1000m at Vaal, scoring by just over a length from Beautiful Rosie at generous odds. That is the right start to a career and she is entitled to progress second-up for a leading stable. The unknown is 1160m, as she has not raced around this distance before, but a one-from-one record still demands respect in a field where several are exposed.

Returns from a two-month let-up with the right profile to be the one to beat. Her last-start sixth at Turffontein Inside in BM80 grade was only three and a half lengths from Blindfire, and the prior third at this track was a stronger guide, beaten a length and a half by Turbo Power. She has a win and two placings from four tries at this track and distance, and the 2.5kg claim strengthens a well-suited third-up case.

Broke through first-up at Vaal in FM MPLTE grade, beating Nixie Girl by half a length despite starting an outside chance in the betting. That was a clear step forward from a well-held Kenilworth debut, and the winning rider stays aboard with a useful drop from 59kg to 55.5kg. Barrier nine makes the task less straightforward, but she is lightly raced and can hold a placing if that latest win is repeated.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with two heavy defeats, finishing second last at this track in BM66 grade and also second last at Vaal the run prior. Her 1160m record includes a win and five placings, so the distance is not foreign, but she is unplaced from two starts at this venue and recent figures leave her with plenty to turn around.

Backs up after one week following a sixth at Turffontein Inside, beaten just over eight lengths in FM BM73 grade when unwanted in the market. Her previous seventh at Vaal was also plain, beaten six lengths at big odds, and she has just one placing from seven starts around this distance. The lighter weight is a small help, but her current form pattern makes her hard to recommend.
