Turffontein Race 10 - Next Tab Turffontein Racemeeting Thursday 5 November Mr 82 Hcp
DOG IN THE FOG (6) Bolted in when winning by 3 1/4L last run at Vaal and was a debutant last start. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide barrier. Has the ability to take this out. PERIODIC TABLE (4) Threw down a serious challenge last run at the track but rises in weight. K De Melo rates highly. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Should go close. INDECENT OBSESSION (7) First up after a break. Bold effort to win by 2L last time at Vaal and solid career start. Suited by the weight drop. Looks to be value. EVENING PARADE (2) Landed the spoils when winning by 1L last start at Vaal and can save some energy from the barrier. Likely to get back. Promising career start. Suitably placed in this race.

Scored first-up at Vaal in NOV grade over 1200m, beating Willow Charm by a length despite drifting from opening levels. He had earlier run third in a BM74 at this track when firming favourite, and his overall record of two wins and a placing from four starts gives him a solid profile. Proven around 1000m and drawn well, though the weight is the main tempering factor against the leading hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a sound fourth in Open grade at Vaal, beaten three and a half lengths as the firming favourite. He had been beaten only half a length at Turffontein Inside the start prior, so the recent form has enough depth. Most importantly, he is a proven track-and-trip performer with one win and two placings from four attempts, making him the runner to beat.

Returns from a six-week freshening after going down by a head in a BM86 at Turffontein Inside, with the market support adding merit to the performance. He had won a MPLTE at Vaal by four and a half lengths before that and has placed in all six career runs. Even so, this is a stronger test of his winning quality and he has to lift again to topple the main chances.

Went within a neck of Little Boy Blue in a BM84 at Turffontein Inside last start after sitting near the top of betting, and his fourth there in a BM80 two back was also under a length away. That gives him a reliable current-form base, while a win and two placings from six starts at this track add support. The first try around 1000m is the question, but he is racing well enough to be a serious threat.

Made a bright start at Vaal, winning a MPLTE over 1000m by three and a half lengths after firming into favouritism. He now comes in second-up with meaningful weight relief from that debut, and a one-from-one record gives him obvious upside. The reservation is that he has only the single race start to lean on against more seasoned handicappers, so he profiles as a genuine place hope with winning upside.

Back from a four-month break after winning a MPLTE at Vaal by just over two lengths, having been close to the top of an open market. Her earlier third at this venue was less convincing, beaten seven and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite, though she has placed at all three starts. The profile has positives, but this stronger handicap demands a new peak fresh.

Back from a four-month break after two plain Greyville runs in stronger company, finishing eighth then last, and the latest margin was just under seven lengths. Her record at this track is far better, with one win and two placings from three starts, and she has placed at each previous attempt around 1000m. The setup gives her a route back, but recent race form leaves her with work to do.

Was not far away when seventh in a FM BM82 at Greyville last start, beaten two and a half lengths after easing near the top of an open market. Her debut win at Scottsville, when she beat Barry's Boy by a long neck, showed enough early promise, and Craig Zackey is back aboard with a win from one ride on her. Third-up fitness helps, but she shapes more as a place chance than a clear winning play.

Returns from a two-month freshening in winning form after scoring in a BM72 at Turffontein Inside, beating Taking A Risk by just over a length with market support. His previous RBH74 second at Vaal was also solid, and he has a useful 1000m base with one win and four placings from eleven starts. The apprentice claim is a genuine plus, giving him the right platform to go close again.
