He was assistant to Gav Smith for years

thanks Titch.

My few fancies after looking at the card...

Strikr Twice.....ran on nicely over the 1000m last time. Hopefully the 1400m will suite better today. Must have an EW chance....perhaps a win chance. Tealion, that 4th to Sedge does stand out a little and now in a Novice plate and Hostile Takeover who ran into a lot of trouble last time and flew up to win a good race. With a clean run, i dont think the 3 pound penalty is enough. Gavin did mention that this is one of the better horses they have last time.

Good luck all.

With the luck not going with me in the last two races yesterday, unfortunately for you lot I have not been able to go out and purchase the gold trim retirement slippers and find myself once more scribbling my thoughts here...

Win yankee:
R1 1 Nuns Narrative
R2 16 Special Effects
R3 12 Pine Valley
R4 7 Rain Gal

Semi-idiots e/w patent:
R5 3 Marionette
R6 14 Leading The Field
R8 9 Dancinginthedesert

Very open day's racing, I would be fairly confident with the above but have a feeling a few horses are going to come out today and enjoy the sun on their backs and mess everything up! Be(s)t of luck to all (tu) and best of luck to the Shams, you deserve it to swing your way after a lot of good runs without the gold recently (tu)

I would laugh but it is sadly all too true... and don't forget the tied-corners handkerchief over the head CnC to keep that burning SA sun off my balding bonce!
