Turffontein Saturday 16/3/13

Difficult card imo... a lot of the more fancied ones don't seem that great and/or often don't have great draws, think it is likely there will be a few upsets but finding the one from a good draw that will improve enough is not so easy!

Anyway...
Complete idiots... (more for fun interest than belief!)
R2 5 Flight Risk
R3 6 Disco Valente
R5 6 Sheikitup

Semi-idiots...
R1 2 Superaver
R6 1 London Dipper
R8 4 Putney Flyer (despite Maestro's apparent negativity! lol)

Patent... but not with the Pipe Smokers confidence ...
R4 8 Gothic
R7 11 Lucky Hand
R9 9 Flaming Forge

Be(s)t of luck to all (tu)

thanks for that...will look more closely for a maybe upset.....

Some thoughts on a tricky card where alll the P6 races are handicaps:

R3: Dark Ages really looks the part - shows a lot of pace and gets a nice draw, only slight concern is that it is his first run around the turn - all the best, shrek with Tiger Dee (tu)

R4: Very tough openiing to the P6; all of no's 1-6 and 8-10 holds some sort of chance imo

R5: Draw important imo over this trip, so I'll be opposong the Marwing coupling; Money Never Sleeps found betting support in his last run and now gets blinkers from a fair draw; another big roughie imo opinion is Sheikitup, who has run well over this trip, has his 3rd run after a rest and jumps from a nice draw.

R6: Opportunity to perhaps go short in the P6 with the Tarry coupling and Co-Pilot who tries blinkers and gets a good draw - I think the Laird runners have something to find from those draws.

R7: Difficult fillies and mares handicap - only the 13,14,and 15 look like they can be safely discarded.

R8: The Tarry coupling, Straw Market and Emperor Augustus the main players imo

R9: Very competitive handicap, Starspangledemblem could still be ahead of the handicapper, unlike Vtruvian Man who has a lot to do imo off these ratings; plenty of others with chances (especially Dark Night who has come down from a 84 to a 71), for those that missed USO, ROy expects a lot of improvement from Master Entertainer without the blinkers, so the scratched stable mate a useful inclusion in the P6 imo

Enjoy (tu)
