Hazy Dazy to go to war
The Mercury
|November 06, 2025
A MR 86 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1800m is the highest rated race at the Turffontein Inside track meeting today and Hazy Dazy, who comes off a hat-trick, could score yet another victory.
The three-year-old Act Of War filly is tall and still a bit gangly and she is green too, so looks to have plenty of scope for improvement and can overcome the five point merit rated raise she was given for her last win.
She won that 2000m contest by a length but was being eased at the line and she now has pole position draw under the same 1,5kg claimer, Trent Mayhew. Champion jockey Gavin Lerena is aboard Azalea's For All, who could be the main danger.
Bronkhorst
This Fanie Bronkhorst-trained Captain Of All mare was undone by a wide draw over 2000m on the Standside track last time, but was making good headway late on the outside to finish a 2,75 length fourth.
She now has a good draw of two over an equally suitable trip and she is 1,5kg better off with Future Date for a one length beating and there is a reversal in draw fortunes too.
Streisand is the topweight and has the ability to be in the shake up here as a big, progressive sort, but she has a tricky draw of seven out of nine.
Kissing Machine also has the ability to be involved but also has a wide draw to overcome. Future Date can't be ignored.
Alta Capitana
Alta Capitana was highly tried as a two-year-old and this filly should progress this season into a competitive middle distance campaigner.
