Winning Form share all of their best bets and tips for Thursday’s racing coming your way from Turffontein on 25 January 2024.
Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: DHOW SOLO (1)
Race 2: MID WINTER WIND (1)
Race 4: CAPTAIN OF GRIT (12)
Race 5: HOLOCENE (7)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: DHOW SOLO (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
DHOW SOLO showed good speed over 1160m on the Standside course last time, but was outrun late by Work Of Time. She is likely to adopt the same tactics and in this field, may be hard to peg back.
Top Bet For Today
Race 2: MID WINTER WIND (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: S Tarry
MID WINTER WIND is the best bet on the programme. He should have finished closer to the winner over 1400m last time as he hung in the closing stages. He was reported to be fatigued that day. The son of What A Winter will love the drop to 1200m and from his good draw of two, he should take a power of beating.
Race 3: TURBO POWER (1)
Jockey: D Geerthsen – Trainer: S Tarry
TURBO POWER ran on powerfully to win his last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. The blinkers have done the trick on the son of Twice Over. He would have come on from the run and can follow up.
Race 6: STREET ART (1)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: T Peter
STREET ART should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung outwards in the final 200m. He has won twice and finished second once from six starts over this distance. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: TSAR BOMBA (5)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
TSAR BOMBA finished 1 length behind ARGO ALLEY last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once and finished third five times from as many starts on this course. If not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can return to winning ways.
