SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   11 Jan 2026
 
GOING: GS

GUINEAS DAY 7 FEBRUARY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 29)    

Fast pace assured with Power Of Tiger, Varachino's Champ and Sassy Lassie leading the charge. PRINCESS OF ALL (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VARACHINO'S CHAMP (2) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at her most recent appearance over 1000m at Vaal. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. PRECOCIOUS (1) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1200m at Kenilworth. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. ELEGANT EDGE (6) finished third last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
