Money Heist could be a steal

THE highest rated race at the nine-race Turffontein Inside meeting tomorrow is a Pinnacle Stakes race over 1600m and Money Heist could be the one to beat.

- DAVID THISELTON

Money Heist is only half-a-kilogram worse off on official ratings than the best weighted Texas Red, but he comes off a good run in a Listed event over this trip at Hollywoodbets Greyville and he won his only run at this course, which was over 1450m in April 2024.

This will be his third run after a year off and he should be cherry ripe and he has a good draw of three.

Fire ‘N Flames

Fire 'N Flames has plenty of class and says this trip, but things do need to go his way and having the widest draw of all will make it tough for him.

Hotarubi is unreliable but has the ability to be in the shakeup and can't be ignored. Navajo Nation found the Gold Cup trip beyond him and would prefer further than this trip, but he is in form and from a good draw could make his presence felt.

Texas Red needs to bounce back from a poor run last time.

In the first leg of the Pick 6, a Middle Stakes event over 1000m, Karate Kid has shown class in his career and ran a cracker last time after a layoff, so he has a chance here from a fair draw of four out of seven as he should strip fitter and he is marginally the best weighted runner.

Silver Tudor goes very well for Serino Moodley who knows all about his short run in and has timed his late charge to perfection in the past, so he should be involved from a good draw of three.
