Saturday, 03 August 2024
Turffontein Standside

Race 4 – 13:50
1800m – Racing240 For Racing. For You MR 74 Handicap

1 – Princess Kesh
Breeding: Brave Tin Soldier (USA) – Brightest Day (FR) by Country Reel (USA)
Trainer: Heather Adamson
Jockey: Piere Strydom
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1

She jumps from a good draw of two and Piere Strydom is booked to ride. She drops back to 1800m and we are hoping that there is a good pace. She has been working well with the tongue-tie fitted and we are hoping for an improved performance.

Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:88. Will need to find best form.

Race 9 – 16:45
1000m – Next Turffontein Racemeeting Saturday 10 August Classified Stakes

2 – Sakhala Is’Cathulo
Breeding: William Longsword – Exquisite Touch by Var (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Piere Strydom
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1

He ran a much-improved race when second over this course and distance last time. He is drawn on the inside in barrier one which is a disadvantage on this track. It is the right type of race and with Piere Strydom booked to ride, we are hoping to see him fight out the finish.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Just beaten in latest. The tongue-tie has done the trick.
