Best Bet of the Day - Turffontein
Race 1 – Shining Sun
Jockey: Gavin Lerena | Trainer: J. J. van Vuuren
The 3-yr-old Shining Sun looks the one to beat in the opener after three career runs produced form figures of 6-3-3. He has placed third in his last two races at Turffontein and is strongly favoured to hold off Brief Encounter and Forever Canford.
Race 3 – Whatsdamatterwithu
Jockey: Calvin Habib | Trainer: C. Binda
The 3-yr-old Whatsdamatterwithu comes into Race 3 in excellent form after back-to-back Turffontein wins in July. Time Will Tell, Banyan, Ice Dragon and Caladrius are all close together behind him in the market, but Whatsdamatterwithu looks the clear headline pick
Race 4 – Time Is Precious
Race 9 – Guerilla Warfare
Jockey: Philasande Mxoli | Trainer: S. J. Gray The 5-yr-old Guerilla Warfare looks a strong pick in the final race after recent Turffontein form of 1-3. He won over 1m 1f 207y at Turffontein in July before following up with a third at the same track in August. Kudzu, Orange County and Art Nouveau look the biggest challengers.
