Turffontein Racing Tips & Best Bets for May 19

CLIMATE CONTROL was a beaten odds-on favourite in his last start over 1400m at the Vaal. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will be at home over the mile. JP van der Merwe takes the ride and from his good draw of two, he can shed his maiden tag.

TRENTINO moved up like a winner in her last start over 1400m, but was outrun late by Simple Simple. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight will love the rise to the mile. She meets the right field and if jumping on terms, should take a power of beating.

ROLLWITHTHEPUNCHES showed good speed over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time, but was caught late. Supreme Warrior has come out and finished second in the Grade 2 WSB KZN Guineas since. He returns to Handicap company and should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

VAL D’ORCIA took on much stronger in the Grade 1 Computaform Sprint last time. He is unbeaten from two starts over this C&D. Apprentice Siyanda Sosibo takes the 4kgs off his back and he can notch up his fifth career victory.

GIN AND TONIC produced a typical second run after a rest last time. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. The daughter of Time Thief takes a drop in class and should be cherry-ripe. JP van der Merwe takes the ride and she should give the males a run for their money.
