FRODO, kindly post your pa, for I do also agree as well that it could be a difficult card. And also due to the fact that the Cape punters could boost the pools, today. The only pa banker in my opinion is Snowdon. As we are aware that the best horses never perform @ Scotsville, especially on the day when the 4 legs of the jackpot are over sprints. It had some time to readjust to climate conditions. Just my 3 cents worth, opinion.

Drawn better Lights out Lesley Strong learn't my lesson backing horses from wide draws

What about High Stakes in the last, breeding experts help??

Weak field and with Fulcrum drawn wide, it would seem AP is the right one - I would caution though as he does not seem to finish off his race over 1400 (and he faded badly over 1800) - also held by First Sugar (surely no star either) on the run behind In Eighty Days - so all in all no value for me.

All the best Oscar hope it comes home lonely again

Not going on breeding but first run was poor beaten by fillies without any betting support - has a draw today so who knows ?

Gavin Lerena has some prime rides today at prices - VENTURE is a massive runner

Personally i think these fields are so bad/weak that its probably better to go on gut feel.... OR just enjoy the Rugby...

I must say the sky in JHB is superb today and the temp is just right

Dear Fixer if you wishing for a good pa payout Snowdon shouldn't be your banker.Not saying you wrong about its chances but thats just imo how you should play.It won't harm you to add and if they all arrive you don't lose

to add to that you would be leaving out three of our best jockeys and an apprentice claiming 4 for a bang in form stable.What if it wasn't a case of the Scottsville factor.if he has lost form rather or picked up an injury you never can say.
You could probably banker him now though and keep the egg nearby.
