I agree (probably going to snow today ) - I know Cherry's family (half-sister?) has placed in the KZN Oaks, but that's not exactly proving stamina imo - and being by Tiger Ridge I think the 1800 will be the upper limit in terms of distance for her.

I also very much doubt if Tellina can do the double in the Classic - must have a chance of course, but for me too many 3yr olds colts have been beating each other to be confident on one of them.

Frodo what are your reasons for fancying Jet Belle? Love to see if we agree

I think she has the most improvement to come and is drawn in pole poistion - ran a very good race in the F Guineas from a poor draw - I think she will be even beter this trip and it also doesn't hurt that the stable (and jock) very nearly had 3 winners yesterday (tu)

yup and today a horse that she mocked on her debut ran a good race in PE - I watched her in the FG and she ran on really well so she's my place bet

My six pence, or R6, worth for the Classic:

1. Significantly favourable weight advantages:
a. None

2. Recently easy and impressive
a. Tellina; and
b. Bay Of Bengal

3. Very classy:
a. None

4. One more chance to remain in the notebook:
a. Francois Bernhardus; and
b. Fantastic Mr Fox

5. Undefeated in last two:
a. Tellina; and
b. Bay Of Bengal

6. Some class:
a. Francois Bernhardus - winner of the Graham Beck
b. Tellina - winner of the Joburg Guineas
c. Lovestruck - winner of the Politician
d. Killua Castle - half a length off in the Joburg Guineas
e. War Horse - half a length off in the Joburg Guineas
f. Gitiano - a length behind in the Joburg Guineas
g. No Worries - a length behind in the Joburg Guineas
h. Fantastic Mr Fox - winner of the Tony Ruffel
i. Gray's Champ - One and a quarter behind in the Sea Cottage
j. Swift And Strong - three quarters behind in the Tony Ruffel
k. Alexandra Palace - winner of the Sea Cottage
l. American Storm - a short head behind in the Sea Cottage
m. Bay Of Bengal - winner of the Egoli Mile

7. With In form/hot Jockeys:
a. Tellina - Fradd;
b. Gitiano - Marcus; and
c. No Worries - Strydom

8. With In form/hot Trainers:
a. Tellina - Woodruff;
b. Killua Castle - Woodruff;
c. Gitiano - Laird A;
d. No Worries - van Zyl;
e. Gray's Champ - van Zyl;
f. Sabadell - Woodruff;
g. Emerald Approach - de Kock;
h. Bay Of Bengal - Azzie;
i. Safe House - Azzie;
j. Rock Cocktail - de Kock; and
k. Tequila Sunrise - de Kock

9. Beat a subsequent winner from one of last two wins:
a. Francois Bernhardus - penultimate start downed Nice Stride
b. Lovestruck - penultimate win downed Wind Trip
c. Gitiano - last win downed Fantastic Mr Fox
d. Alexandra Palace - penultimate win (maiden) downed Cufflinks
e. Tequila Sunrise - last start downed Balse

10. No decent recent form:
a. Sabadell; and
b. Emerald Approach

11. Questions and comments:
a. Francois Bernhardus - a sprinter?
b. Alexandra Palace - looking for ground?
c. Is the form of the Joburg Guineas suspect?
d. In the Politician only the last , the 2nd last and the 3rd last finishers from 14 runners have subsequently won

so what you say mac is take field and banker cherry in the fillies race?

i think the guineas form is suspect. by that i mean there is no horse that we can relie upon as they all run close. i must say i like the way war horse ran and he is my choose for the race
