If GREYSTONE don't win this it probably never will win but at the odds for interest I prefer Mabaya (who is 3/3 for MDK in these races coincidently).

Like BEEKEEPER for a place in R6

Cant decide between this and MOONSCAPE ( Azzie been in ok form and this his only runner - Jockey 75% win/place for him ) and throwing in top one for exotics

Good luck with yours

Not saying Moonscape can't win BH but the 1 draw is not the best over 1160 on the standside track, just one of the reasons I preferred Memeza

the way Ashcloud ran on late over a distance much too short than she was bred for, she should walk in today....

Also very weary of Greystoke and similarly would prefer an e/w on All The Odds at the prices (the MDK stat may be of much greater significance tomorrow ...)

....you not of the opinion 1600 too far so early on.

@Englander its Memeza I prefer over MOONSCAPE but anything can happen there

R1 All The Odds (p)
R4 Ash Cloud (w)
R5 Straw Market (w)
R6 Irish Gift (p)
R7 Duty Dance (w)
R8 Memeza (p)

R15 to win R999, not going to hurt

short price but over the extra 400 m should win.

the rest of the day Uncle Ormie, Alexander Yard and Mawing.

Azzie in the last but i think veto may have a chance and the number 1
matchett runner n the 8th race
Lance wild runner in the 5th to give uncle ormie a go.

yip, I think you have it correct there....

extract from Magic Tips Best Bets...

Race 4: ASH CLOUD(7) - TOP BET
Jockey: Wesley MARWING - Trainer: Weiho MARWING

ASH CLOUD made an eye-catching debut despite being green over the Vaal six furlongs, ten days ago. The daughter of Black Minnaloushe was outpaced in the early stages but then ran on smartly for third behind fellow newcomer Milynne. That run would have brought her on nicely and she is bred to love every bit of this extra distance. She is the half-sister to the talented PE stayer, Drill Sargeant. She will again get a 2.5kgs apprentice claim and should go well, if she handles the turn.


More importantly...she is a half-sister to G2 and G3 winners Arcola and Princess of Light.....:
