And outside track - SP Pro incorrect - all 1400 metres (inside and out) at the Vaal always down the straight

Some very tricky races!

10:40 Vaal - Summer Adieu
11:50 Vaal - Annaconda Moon
12:25 Vaal - Devil Woman
1:00 Vaal - Master Sabina
1:35 Vaal - Enchanted Guest
2:10 Vaal - Luala*
2:45 Vaal - Princess Lily*
3:25 Vaal - Memeza
4:05 Vaal - Cohiba*

* Primary bet... win doubles, e/w treble. Also done a few other accumulators. Leaving race 2 well alone unless the market tells a story near the off

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

Thanks 50/1 and Frodo

Thought so but wondered if it was another curve ball.

Thanks for that info Turffies as backed both of Botes who seems to have been in decent form and only runners here. Not too sure how he does with first timers.
For the rest of the tricky meet I will be looking to marwing & woodruff (bit of a fancy for Silvaline 2.45) with maybe some small places on biggies involving mariba & Thabana:S

Pleasure knavesmire. If memory serves me correct I think the trainer/ jock combo had a winner first race last week.

I think we can follow Gavin Lerena today, he is due a few winners

I like him on R4 Madame Carla, R6 Enchanted Guest, R8 Caribbean Dream and Amatol R 10

Azzman double first 2 races...

On Master Sabina's last win the commentator mentioned the jock started his run too soon,but worked in his favour.
Strong field today,all of Bay of Bengal/Right To Tango/Vitruvian Man and Serrisa have strong claims.
For me,boils down to two owners that are having a great run at the moment,of Bay & Serissa.
