Everybody on holiday?

So much racing, so little time...Rudra, off the cuff, don't know zip about other centres. Anton and Anthony for the first, two well bred horses. The bigger one will win.

Interesting racing because the trials are handicap races......if certain horses are as underrated as some think ,they will have to stroll in tomorrow.....looking forward to some answers.

Tough tough card

I've always been bemused by this habit of running the Derby and Oaks Trials as handicaps, but I guess it's at least in part to try and boost field sizes. With numerous lightly raced and unexposed 3yos in both races, it makes for interesting if potentially hard-to-predict racing.

R3 - Conne Mara Black should at least place, frist timers unknown??
R4 - Me think this race is more open than just Posse Comitatus, Pettigrew stable in form so don't write off the chances of Divine Invitation... Load in the p6 imo.
R5 - Again not an easy race, I would include all of Wagner (Originally my first selection but not convinced now) De Kock runners, Tarry pair and Captain Vedic.
R6 - Oaks Trial, Viva Maria for me, might take a chance and banker in a p6... Pot cover and add Mount Carmel, Demanding Lady and Alessandra.
R7 - Galileo's Destiny was caught a bit flat footed last time out, should go better over todays distance in the Colorado.... The coupling could be another P6 banker...
R8 - Gibraltar Blue doesn't seem like the same horse as a year ago, maybe see is better over todays distance but I think Antious will beat her again today... Nice roughie is Rebel Knight, especially as Strydom take the ride, watch for a late burst from this one.
R9 - Sycamore my eachway for the day Larussa, she's better than her last few run imo.... Can't leave out the Tarry coupling and Kalaam.
