TORNADO TWISTER ran great race last week and is bred for sand , Delpech/Gray -D

On my own jottings, i have Hobbs Flight from Tornado Twister

I read somewhere that speed on the sand in races shorter than 1600m plays a huge part?If this is true and you consider form I'll try the following:

R1-Swift Bow

R2- Tornado twister

R6- Mr. Tobin

R7-Club Captain

R8-Maji Moto

R9-Howhighcanufly

Only Malibu Moon and Soweto Slew have been tried on the surface ..both with terrible results, so looks like a definite no

Money never sleeps for me -

here is my PA for 2 day....somwhat contrary to other's choices though....thanks for the nice write up Englander (tu)

3/4 # 9 # 6/7/9 # 1 # 1/3/11/9 # 8/5/7/4 # 12/7/6/10

take care guys

My place multiple for the day, R20/R1910.

VAAL 1 INNOCENT MISCHIEF Place 3.2
VAAL 2 HOBB`S FLIGHT Place 2.9
VAAL 3 ZAHARA`S OWN Place 1.6
VAAL 4 KRUGER GOLD Place 6.5

Good luck all.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a horse like African Flame win that 2nd race but overall a minefield of a race imo...

Thanks for the R2 comments guys, I still tend to side with Greg's final analysis of a minefield and as such a little on one at 33s is more in line with my usual idiocy (

Combination of pin strikes, guessing and shrewed thinking resulted in the following for me today:

R1: The IT Girl (p)
R3: Blaze of Glory (p)
R4: Fiery Fellow (p)
R5: Top Talent (w)
R7: Herecomesthebride (p)

I'm sure not even Englander's 'idiots' can rival that -

Does the (p) stand for pin Frodo....<

Swift Bow
Club Captain
Victoria's Albert
