Sunday, 1 February 2026
Turffontein Standside
Race 2 – 12:40
1160m – Racing Today Maiden Plate
2 – Monkey’s Wedding
Breeding: Hawwaam – Promise Of Rain by Dynasty
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He was disappointing in a big field over 1200m at the Vaal last time. His three runs prior to that outing were fair. This is a smaller field and SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib steps into the saddle. We are hoping for a much better effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Had excuses last time. Obvious danger on previous form.

8 – Sabrage
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Cuvee Brut by Count Dubois (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Chase Maujean
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He needed both his efforts to date. Chase Maujean reported that he was nervous around other horses in a big field last time. He meets a small field, and we are hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Two poor runs. First run at Turffontein and can show improvement.

Race 3 – 13:15
1160m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Graduation Plate
3 – Chapbook
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Leaves Of Grass (AUS) by Poet’s Voice (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Ryan Munger
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He was a tad disappointing in his last start over 1200m at the Vaal. The stable has opted to remove the blinkers for this race. The son of Rafeef is doing nicely at home and Ryan Munger will do duty. We are hoping that he repeats his penultimate run when victorious over 1000m on this track.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:100. Finished behind number 8 last time. Chance if repeating penultimate run.

Race 3 – 13:15
1160m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Graduation Plate
8 – Kaalvoet
Breeding: Elusive Fort – Ideal Lady by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He ran a good race when fourth over 1200m at the Vaal last time. The son of Elusive Fort has taken that run well and is in a good space. Kabelo Matsunyane rides and a repeat of his last outing should see him involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2025.06.03. Best MR:99. Decent last effort at the Vaal. Must include.
