Turffontein Race 5 - Ink Monkey Design Factory Foundation Stakes

CELTIC MANOR (2) Resumes after a spell. Secured a close victory last run here and drawn nicely. Should race on the speed. Solid career start. Worth a bet. FIRE TO THE STARS (10) Did a good job when winning by 1L last time at Vaal and having second career run. The large claim from Q Ngcobo helps. Must respect. WHATWILLBEWILLBE (3) Showed promise when winning by 3/4L last start at this track. Placed at every start this campaign. Likely to get back in the field. Can go on with it. LATE BLOOMER (6) Ran 7th last start at Vaal. Blaine Marx Jacobson and Tony Peter deserve serious attention as a team. Looks to be value.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after ending the last campaign with a fifth at Vaal in a FM RBH81, beaten just over five lengths after firming from bigger odds. The run prior at this track was plain when tenth in a BM66, but her broader profile is steadier than that, with two wins and eleven places from 26 starts. Around 1800m she has placed four times without winning, so she profiles as a place hope rather than a strong winning push.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after winning a F MPLTE at this track over 1450m, beating Be The One by a long neck as a heavily backed odds-on favourite. She had earlier run fourth at Turffontein Standside behind Queen Leila, beaten three lengths, and her one win plus two places from four starts reads well. The first try around 1800m is the main question, but she is lightly raced and has clear place appeal.

Comes here third-up after a well-backed MPLTE win over 2000m at Turffontein Standside, beating Gus On The Bus by just under a length as a dominant favourite. That followed a solid third at this track over 1600m when supported near the top of betting. Back to 1800m, where he has placed before, is manageable, and his race-fitness gives him the strongest winning profile in the race.

Comments

Has struggled to make an impact lately, finishing ninth in a Vaal CUP last start and eighth in a BM66 at the same venue the run prior, with no clear excuse in either performance. His record at this track and distance is the saving point, with one win and one place from three attempts, but he was beaten by World Order and Late Bloomer recently and has to find far more.

Lifted sharply last start when fourth in a Vaal CUP over 1600m, beaten just over two lengths by Gunboat after firming from bigger odds. The previous run at this track in BM74 grade was poor, but he did enough last time to put that behind him and he also beat Late Bloomer in that Vaal meeting. A 2.5kg claim adds to the appeal, and his 1800m record gives him a strong each-way platform.

Comments

Has been below her best at the last two, finishing seventh in a Vaal CUP after easing in betting and fifth at this track in FM BM73 grade. The positives are meaningful, though: she returns to a venue where she has won, gets weight relief from last start and reunites with a rider who has already won on her. The first attempt around 1800m is a query, but her set-up is good enough to rebound.

Comments

Finished second last at Greyville over 1600m, beaten seven and a half lengths, and that followed a fourth at Vaal when still beaten just under six lengths. He owns one win from six starts and has handled good tracks, but 1800m is untried and the recent margins leave him with ground to make up. He is more of an outside place chance if the new trip sparks improvement.

Comments

Second-up after finishing ninth at this track in a BM66, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds, which is hard to overlook. His prior run at Turffontein Standside was also well held when sixth in a BM74 despite starting favourite in an open market. The class set-up is kinder, but he will have to show a much sharper finish to trouble these.

Comments

Backs up after finishing seventh at this track in a BM74, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds. His previous run at Vaal was no better, finishing last and well held despite firming into favourite, so the market once saw more than he is showing now. He has won at this distance and gets a 2.5kg claim, but the recent form leaves him with plenty to repair.

Made the perfect start at Vaal, winning a MPLTE over 1700m by just over a length from All Time Legend at his only race appearance. He was near the top of an open market but easing, so there was enough expectation without being overplayed, and he now has a 4kg claim to help second-up. As a R700,000 yearling purchase, he has upside, though this is a deeper test of his early promise.
