The new Turffontein night racing season begins this evening at 17h25 with an eight-race programme.
Graham Beck Stakes winner Doosra – runs this evening
There are some quality races on offer and the appearance of last term’s Graham Beck Stakes winner Doosra who is having his first run as a 4yo after a four month break, could make for interesting racing.

Prefer not to comment.
GOKHAN TERZI
Race 1 – VULISTA (3): Well bred, needs further, should be green and not expecting much.
Race 2 – ADRENALINA (2): Quite a nice filly, I have taken time with her as she is immature, the riders that have ridden her have been impressed. I would be more confident if this race was at the Vaal but she should be competitive and is worth including in larger quartets.
PAUL PETER
Race 1 – EMERALD JAGUAR (7): A nice sort, is looking for a bit further but could place.

MATTHEW DE KOCK FOR MIKE DE KOCK
Race 2 – MAPLE SYRUP (11): She has been showing pleasing work at home but is bred for further – I would not be surprised if she finishes in the first three.
Race 3 – PIETRO MASCAGNI (11): He has been showing pleasing work at home but is bred for further – I would not be surprised if he finishes in the first three.
GEOFF WOODRUFF
Race 2 – SECRET POTION (14): The distance probably too short – is a talented filly – can be included for places.
PAUL MATCHETT
Could not be contacted for comment.
LEON ERASMUS
Race 3 – KING OF RAP (9): Not a bad horse – if not too green – should give a good account of himself.
