Turffontein Racing Tips & Best Bets for March 24

MINI COOP produced a promising debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. He understandably raced green, but showed pace and stayed on to finish third. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Coup De Grace would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she is the horse to beat.

PRETTY IN PEARLS has shown good improvement in each of her outings to date. She stayed on nicely over 1800m last time, but found one too good in the form of Angel’s Wish. The daughter of Elusive Fort should have no issues with the drop to the mile. She is a progressive type and may be the horse to side with.

CARL VINSON produced a decent debut effort over 1400m on the Standside course. He was bumped at the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race caught the eye. He found plenty of betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He would have strengthened up in his time off the track and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.

SAY WHEN ran a good race when finishing second over 1200m on this course, four weeks ago. She raced from a prominent position and tried hard all the way to the line. She has won twice and finished third once from five starts over this distance. The daughter of Silvano is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. With a bit of luck from her wide draw, she should be the one to beat.

CHYAVANA was given a peach of a ride when winning his maiden over 1160m on the Standside course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Flower Alley is a progressive type who looks to have ability. Keagan de Melo retains the ride and the pair can follow up.
