SAF - TURFFONTEIN INSIDE   19 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MR 86 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Chieftain's Shield to take charge ahead of Fostinovo at a strong tempo. WARNING LIGHT (5) wound up strongly to score on debut. Solid rating from the run and looks suited by the extra ground. Well-placed to keep the 100% record intact. PAUL REVERE (3) was an open class winner with a light weight last time. That has proven a hot form race. Placed 3/3 course and distance and can get the job done again. FOSTINOVO (6) has won two of last three. Very consistent record this track and trip and ideally placed to make it two on the trot. SUTHERLAND (4) was a big winner fresh then didn’t fire last start but is capable of better. Well worth another try.
