10:15 turffontein-inside Thursday 19th February 2026

BATTLEGROUND (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m4f at Turffontein Standside after he produced a huge finish. This doesn't look as hard so he is perfectly placed to score. EUPHRATES (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m4f at Vaal. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MILITARY MOVES (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0. 7 lengths from the winner in second over 1m4f at Vaal after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BELLEROPHON (4) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1m4f at Vaal. Can sneak into the finish.
