Turffontein Race 7 - Allied Steelrode - Onamission Charity Mile (Grade 2)

ZINOVI (3) Resuming after a spell. Scored a victory by 1 3/4L last run at Fairview and proven runner at this distance. Richard Fourie is a bonus. A win wouldn't surprise. CALLA LAGOON (11) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 3/4L last run around here. Won last 2 on the trot. Well placed and has solid claims. SPLITTHEEIGHTS (17) Back from a 34 week spell. Tidy run when 3rd last run at this venue and gets a reduction in weight. Suitably placed in this race. GRAND EMPIRE (12) Tailed off when 6th last start at this venue but suited by the weight drop. Gains the services of jockey K De Melo. Worth strong consideration.

Comments

Improved into fifth in a G2 over 1450m at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten just under three lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was a better result than his previous last of nine behind I'm A Fireball on soft ground, but the recent pattern still leaves him with ground to make up. His track record is a positive, though others bring stronger current form.

Comments

Worked home for fourth in a G2 over 1450m at Turffontein Inside when resuming, beaten just under three lengths at outside odds. That was a fair return from a horse with two wins from five starts at this track and distance, but he had been safely held in G1 company at Greyville before that. Capable on his best figures, yet this still asks for another step.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break in winning form, having scored in a Listed race at Fairview Aw by just under two lengths as a very short odds-on chance. He had also beaten Zatara Magic at the same venue the run prior, so the recent winning habit is clear. Seven wins at around 1600m is a strong pointer, but his record at this venue is only fair, keeping him more in the place mix.

Returns from a four-month break after winning a G3 CUP at Greyville by just over two lengths, despite being unwanted in the market. He had been fifth to Ahead Of The Facts over 3000m before that, so the late-campaign staying form was sound. Four wins from seven starts around 1600m is a plus, but fresh at this level he still has a fair bit to prove.

Has returned in excellent order, winning over 1450m at Turffontein Inside before a G2 second to Gladatorian, beaten just under a length after firming near the top of the market. Barrier one suits a natural leader, and he is third-up with a strong rider record. The mile is the query after one unplaced try, but his current form gives him a genuine winning platform.

Has been well held in two runs this campaign, finishing second last behind Calla Lagoon last start after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was even harder to recommend, beaten over 15 lengths in a PLATE at Turffontein Inside. Weight relief and past track-and-trip form are positives, but his current figures leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after finishing second in a G3 at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Errol Flynn. His broader record of four wins and three placings from eleven starts is sound, and he has won at around 1600m before. Even so, with no wins from four runs at this venue and a fresh assignment, others look better placed to win.

Comments

Returned with a sharp second at Greyville, beaten a neck by Quickstepgal in a PLATE despite being at generous odds. That followed a Listed win at Greyville over Major Master, so the form is holding together well. Three wins and three placings from seven starts at around 1600m is a major asset, and he looks a strong winning chance second-up.

Comments

Was second last at Greyville when resuming in a PLATE, beaten just over nine lengths and unwanted in the market. He had also been well beaten in G1 company at Greyville at the end of the prior run sequence. Three wins and two placings from six starts at around 1600m show the trip suits, but his recent form is too plain to make a strong case.

Resumed with a solid third at Greyville in a PLATE, beaten just under a length at long odds behind Quickstepgal. He had earlier run third in a G3 Handicap, so he continues to hold form at a competitive level without winning. One win from three starts at this track and distance adds appeal, though he profiles more as a place hope than a clear winning threat.

Comes in off consecutive Turffontein Inside wins, most recently beating Radio Star by just under a length as a firming favourite. The prior PLATE win over Captain West was stronger again by margin, and he now has three wins and three placings from nine starts overall. Proven at around 1600m and unbeaten with this rider, he brings the clearest winning profile.

Finished sixth behind Calla Lagoon at Turffontein Inside first-up, beaten three and a half lengths after easing near the top of an open market. His previous run was an eighth at this track as favourite, so the latest form needs tidying up. The upside is his strong overall record and one win with two placings from three at this track and distance, keeping him a live contender.

Comments

Ran fourth at Greyville last start in a PLATE, beaten just over a length at generous odds, which was his best recent effort. He had filled the same position at Greyville on soft ground the run prior, but still has not won or placed in three starts around 1600m. The class setup helps, yet the distance record makes it hard to push him beyond a rougher chance.

Resumed with a seventh in a G2 over 1450m at Turffontein Inside, beaten just over three lengths at big odds. That was an improvement on his heavy defeat at this track before the break, but his longer-term profile is a worry with no placings from nine starts in the past 12 months. Past track-and-trip form is not enough to offset the current run of outs.

Was fifth at Greyville last start in a PLATE, beaten a length and a half after easing near the top of an open market. His second to That's My Baby two runs back on soft ground reads well enough, and he has one win and two placings from five at this track and distance. Third-up, he has enough positives to be considered for multiples rather than being declared a major win hope.

Resumed with a seventh in a G2 at Turffontein Inside, beaten just over two lengths at long odds behind Flower Island. That followed a G2 second at Greyville, so she has recent form that stacks up for a minor role. Four wins and four placings from twelve starts around 1600m is solid, but she will have to sharpen from that fresh run to beat the main chances.

Returns from an eight-month spell after a G1 third at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Grand Empire. Before that he won a G2 at this venue, beating Grand Empire by just over half a length, so the quality is well established. Three wins and two placings from six starts at this track is a strong base, and if he is forward enough fresh he can win.

Comments

Was ninth at Greyville when resuming in a PLATE, beaten two and a half lengths, which was better than the position suggests on paper. He had been tenth to Zeitz in a Listed race before that, beaten three lengths, so the margins are not severe. Weight relief helps and his recent-season record is sound, but he still sits just below the main winning hopes.
