Im suprised you have time to post,with Halloween around the corner...-

Spook Express.... a race horse....

not overly bullish on MERCURIAL BRAVE - beat the odds place value

Well De Kock did say it ''prep'' run, but still you would think if he was any good he still would of flattened that field??

I watched his first run a few times today and that made me have doubts as he was not overly convincing

A good jockey is Marcus, as seen from previous rides today, perhaps the horse is at fault....will he mount the same horse next time out, or will he be on another horse, in another race on the fav, with MB, with an apprentice...with this game everything is possible.

Ever played a game of pool gentlemen , sometimes it is well worth losing, so you win end up winning.

Well Done

1) Gem of Dubai(Best of the raced runners, many first timers with not much support, best exacta 10 x 1) WIN-EXACTA R6.9
2) Brooks-Club(Seemed to need last run, ran on well, standside track will suit, only danger B, best swinger 1,5) SWINGER R2.0
3) Cochineal(Using Video Games as a line horse, C should have the measure of the other top 2 in the market) R3.0 WIN
4) All The Ones(Ran on nicely from a long way back, was green, will enjoy extra furlong, natural improvement) 5TH
5) The King And I(Went with this over BZ only because Marcus has the ride for the 3rd time, could not separate thou) WIN-R2.8
6) Jade Bay(Got beat by top sort last time, only danger RK, possibly better value places on RK than JB win) WIN-R1.9
7) Wells-Cargo(My Value Bet on the card at 20/1) STILL RUNNING
City Of Bells(Best Place bet on the card, strong win chance) WIN-R3.4
9) Mercurial Brave(Form franked, highly rated, could get beat, but by anything if that happens) 5TH
