Turffontein Racing Betting Preview – Saturday, 02 August 2025

Published by World Sports Betting

Horse racing fans, gear up for an exciting afternoon of turf action as Turffontein Racecourse hosts a competitive nine-race card this Saturday. Despite moderate field sizes, the Standside track promises high-quality racing, offering sharp-eyed punters plenty of value and betting opportunities.

Track Conditions & Key Details

• Surface: Turf (Standside – 2700m right-handed oval)

• Going: Good (Penetrometer reading: 21)

• False Rail: Zero on the back straight, extending to 7.5m on the bend, with a 7.5m spur at the 700m mark

• Draw Bias: Inside draws are favourable over the 1400m trip

• Weather Forecast: Mostly sunny | 3°C–17°C | Northerly cross wind (11–30kph) | Sunset at 17:42

These conditions suit front-running or well-drawn horses, particularly in the shorter distances where track position can be decisive.

WSB’s Top Racing Tips – Can Gavin Lerena Steal the Show?

Race 1 – On The Run

Trainer: J A Janse van Vuuren | Jockey: G Lerena
Backed on debut and ran a respectable 3rd over course and distance. With natural improvement and fitness on her side, she should be a strong contender.

Race 3 – Kensal Green

Trainer: Paul Matchett | Jockey: Philasande Mxoli
Caught the eye on debut when finishing a close 3rd over 1200m. The extra ground could suit and she looks capable of building on that effort.

Race 6 – The Equator

Trainer: A P Peter | Jockey: G Lerena
Disappointed on South African debut but is highly rated by connections. The re-application of blinkers and second-up improvement make him one to watch.

Race 8 – Mount Pinatubo

Trainer: J A Janse van Vuuren | Jockey: G Lerena
In solid form and boasts an unbeaten record over this course and distance. Must be respected as he bids to keep that streak alive.
