SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

ORMOND FERRARIS OAKS TRIAL 2000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Lady Blunt should be able to comfortably find the front. INTO DANCING (5) was sent out favourite last time and was not far from the winner when third over 1600m at this track. The extra journey should play into her hands. Placed 4/5 here and is overdue for a win. Go close. REECE'S WISH (7) has been in the money all five career runs, getting off the mark two back before a near miss latest. Hard to beat again. CURIOUS GIRL (2) scored last start at Scottsville to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should camp just off the leaders. One to consider. LITTLEMISSSPLENDID (4) was in the money two starts back at Vaal but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, at Turffontein Inside over 2000m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
