Turffontein Thursday

Bank holiday Thursday meeting at Turffontein,with 3 men and a Dug in attendance...

Discuss and tip them winners here..


Interesting that the Fort Wood - Ilha Da Vitoria 2yo has attracted some money if she has any of her auld dutch`s ability she will win from here to timbuktu

Chances are very good !

I don't like backing first timers. Ilha Da Vittoria and Ilha Grande both took a few runs before showing their best and Ilha Da Vittoria definately prefered the Standside track and it looks like Ilha Grande inhetited that from her mother. I would be interested to see how Ilha Bela does on the inside track but at 8/10 I would just observe the first.

Ilha Grande was odds on favourite on debut and ran nearly last. I remember MDK laughing at the price and calling it ridiculous. This doesn't mean the same applies to the sister, but I'd also be very wary.

I always feel better when someone the quality of Magic agree's with me.

Lots of people have felt poorer when I agree with them, too.

Tough card... best place hope I make Mannequin...but open so Loong on the PA...

6(1,8,11) x 3,1,11,5 x 1,5,8,10 x 1(5) x 10,3,13,9,12,7 and any other lucky numbers you have x 16,5,3,1 x 12,7,5,4

Geez, I agree with Loopy (probably gonna have snow in Gauteng )

But I make the PA banker La Promesa in the first leg - just have the look of really being set up for that maiden win by the Azzman with Marcus riding, and I think the main danger Quinoa is going to need more ground.

In the 4th I think What a Night is improving and could be worth an each way bet at the price; especially taking inot account that the main dangers are drawn wide

Success Counts looks the right one in the 5th; looking at the rider arrangements, Spiced Gold will need this, but is very well in at the weights, so could sneak a place at big odds; another one that could surprise after a rest is Tree of Perfection - strange that the blinkers stay on after making no show with them before a rest

Mannequin has placed or won 15 times out of 16 runs over 1000 and though probably better on the sand, should be right there again; Golden Secret is at best this trip and is a deifinite inclusion with Marcus in the irons, while both Solar Voyager and Lady Beatrix are nicely priced and worth including in exotics imo

The last 3 races on the card are very competitive handicaps and it could be wise to include as many as the budget allows.

Some rather obvious PA numbers to consider: (edited as Front Cover is now a scratching in race

6 x 1,2 x 1,5 x 1,5 x 2,7,10,13 x 4,5 x 3,6,7

Play well

Frodo, good summation of the day as always. Tough card awaits today, I have worked out a PA for R432 take percentages and am going to take a chance and banker Delpech on Winter Cruise place 5 out of 6 at the course and the trip will be no problem, maybe even a bit short.

PA - 6,8 x 2,5,11 x 1,5 x 1,5,7 x 7 x 2,4,5 x 3,5,6,7.

Good Luck (tu)

shrek you may be on the ball with Winter Cruise, I think personally I will take 2 PA's; a smaller perm taken a full unit and then a larger one to try and cover if some of those obvious ones fail to place - enjoy:)

The only obvious is that we have rather different numbers in some races today... will be an interesting day indeed and might pay to take teh 3 PA's together in a R60k per, LOL

LOOPY: 6(1,8,11) x 1,11,5 x 1,5,10 x 1(5) x 10,3,13,9,12,7 and any other lucky numbers you have x 5,3,2 x 12,7,5,4
SHREK: 6,8 x 2,5,11 x 1,5 x 1,5,7 x 7 x 2,4,5 x 3,5,6,7
FRODO: 6 x 1,2 x 1,5 x 1,5 x 2,7,10,13 x 4,5 x 3,6,7

FROLOOPDOSHREKY><

6,1,8,11 x 1,11,5,2 x 1,5,10 x 1,5,7 x 7,10,13,9,3,2,12 x 5,4,2,3 x 3,7,6,5,12,4 for R24192.00!!

Interesting to see how this goes...

Loopy if you take out the scratchings from your perm we could save a lot of money;)
