JP: 3,4,5,6,8,9 x 1,2,3,4,5,8,9 x 1 x 4,5 =R 84

Speed ratings for main contenders with previous Vaal Sand form -

Race 1 : MDN 1000m
77…TEMPERED STEEL
64…EIGHT FORTY FOUR
??…GENERAL CUSTER
??…CHAZAK
Tricky start to the card yet Tempered Steel looks reasonable at 22/10. Eight Forty Four can place if nos. 6,11+12 do not perform on sand.

Race 2 : MDN-F 1200m
68…TACIT TIGER
64…ZENA’S OWN
64…CERISE SILK
59…PASSIONATE KISS
Weak form this field, Tacit Tiger also looks a reasonable bet here at 18/10, yet Zena’s Own looks place value at 10/1. Flight Risk (well drawn) and Swift Bow (trainer does well at VS) are the unknowns whilst Cerise Silk and Passionate Kiss have it all to do from unfavourable draws.

Race 3 : PIN STKS 1200m
115…ACROSS THE ICE
110…CALANISH
108…SOLARIUM
103…BENBOW
103…RIGHT BEAUTY
100…FUNNY GLORY
Across the Ice looks is the 1200m star and good value at 18/10 especially from draw 1. Calanish 7/1, who often runs well from unfavourable draws, and Benbow 20/1 look place value. Certainly Solarium can be a big threat yet not at 22/10. Right Beauty has disappointed last 3 sand runs. The game and consistent Funny Glory may find these ‘hard-hitters’ too much here.

Race 4 : MR 80F 1200m
98…CANTE LIBRE
91…MESMERISING MELODY
90…CASA NOSTRA
88…TOBE’S LASS
86…TILBURY
84…GEORGIA ON MY MIND
??…MEXICAN GLORY
Often throw out those drawn above 7 over this distance, so there goes Cante Libre. Closely rated event with Tobe’s Lass looking the best option. Mexican Glory can be a surprise if returning to previous best form.

Race 5 : MR80 1000m
103…MEN AND MOUNTAINS.
..98…MAGIC ROMA
..96…DENNIS THE MENACE
..95…PALACE TOWN
..95…HANG FIRE
..93…EAGLE FACE
..??…NATIONAL ROAD
Very open, especially if M & M is unable to repeat excellent last sand run. National Road appeals as first time sand runner.

Race 6 : HSC 1600m
118…THE MOUSKETEER
116…PYLON
109…EUGENES
108…MR. TOBIN
108…TAPTAP MAKHATINI
108…EASTERN COBBLER
107…MABUKO SPIRIT
107…CITY OF BELLS
If The Mousketeer is still the champ then 10/1 is a great price and Eugenes is a big contender at 16/1. Meanwhile Pylon has been superb, but 3/10 certainly is not. Only see these 3 in it, yet shall have City of Bells in the quartet.

Race 7 : QUEEN o/t SAND 1600m
110…REBEL QUEEN
109…FORMATION
108…RAISE THE BAR
107…MAGIC SMOKE
106…FOLLOW THE PIPER
100…SHATTERED IMAGE
???…BLUE ROUTE
Rebel Queen was very impressive last sand run. Fancy Magic Smoke to be the biggest challenger whilst Raise the Bar, Formation, Shattered Image and Follow the Piper ran 2nd-5th last year. Blue Route interesting as MDK horses have run 2nd last 2 years…MDK and MvR have 91% with places.

Race 8 : MR78 1600m
96…BERRYMILLER
95…PIMP MY RIDE
90…ROLL CALL
89…KUDOS
88…SILVER SPECIALIST
88…KRUGER GOLD
Not the time to relax as this is most probably the toughest race of the day,
Berrymiller has problems finding the No.1 box, and the two at the top of boards do not have recent sand form. Pimp My Ride has the credentials, yet after a break and stable change is somewhat unknown…but worth inclusion.

Bushy if your one bet is Magic Smoke, why are you not bankering it?

If Mr Tobin is back to his best, he will give Pylon a hell of a lot of cheek

I highly doubt MR Tobin or the Mouseketeer can get anywhere near Pylon.
This horse is a different creature ond sand, seriously, its shocking how he just keeps going

I banked it in my PA and P6...there is no harm in taking cover with the only danger (in my eyes) in a pot, from which a payout would cover your outlay on the P6 and win bet.

Eagle Face ran a burster last time from bad draw..
My play if drawn well

My runner in the 1st Tempered steel prefers the sand working well will go close. My brothers runner in the 2nd Tacit Tiger hopefully will go well on the sand also very well. Will confirm exactly what the story is in the morning

@brass:


was hesitating to include in my selections.... but will do so now, tnx!
