Sub Shaawes

Speed ratings for those main contenders with previous Vaal Sand form –

Rather a drab looking card where many favourites could be successful…hopefully more interesting than that!

RACE 1 MDN-F 1000m
77…For Your Eyes Only ???
74…Sweet Harlem 20/1
71…Royal Quest 8/1
65…Stage Attraction 8/1
65…Seeking Seattle 33/1
5 first timers, 3 first time sand runners, muddling form, over a distance where form was superior to the draw last week all makes for a complex puzzle.
Going cautiously…upset possibility - Slick Deputy.

RACE 2 MR77 1600m
93…Miss K
86…Olympic Spring
81…In My Secret Life
80…Royal Tusker
79…Olympic Goal
??…Belle Coco
??…Neon Tiger
The gutsy Miss K can continue with her winning ways. The untried sand runners possibly the dangers in spite of the stables not ‘fully firing’ at present.

RACE 3 MDN-F 1600m
75…Noble Wind 12/10
68…Princess Faul 7/2
68…Soukous 7/1
66…Soft Sand 8/1
65…Shirla 8/1
64…Hunt the Stars 14/1
63…Calypso Girl
Choosing the strongest of the weak rarely appeals, especially with such skinny odds. . Noble Wind has to be in PA and P6 but prefer to look for an ‘improver’ – Soft Sand?

RACE 4 MDN 1200m
79…Sub Shaawes 8/10
76…Royal Stock 12/1
68…Translator 2/1
60…Just a Thought 12/1
59…Brad’s Surge 40/1
58…Magic of Rome 16/1
Anywhere near a repeat of Royal Stock’s last run makes him look good value here.
Like Brad’s Surge at 40/1.

RACE 5 MR88 1200m
106…Mr. Alfonso 5/2
102…Hang Fire 7/2
101…Co-Pilot 5/1
???…River Trip 8/1
Mr. Alfonso or pass!

RACE 6 MR70 1200m
94…Passion Pleaser 4/1
94…Angel Gabriel 7/2
87…Authenticated 11/2
86…Bareback 20/1
86…Victory Call 20/1
Bareback has the best history and can win here!

RACE 7 MR85 1600m
101…Boy Oh Boy 12/1
100…Spectroscope 6/1
.97…Enchanted Guest 2/1
.96…Muthiah Pillai 7/1
.90…Mauri Blue 5/1
.90…Cookie Monster 3/1
Betting seems a bit skew…like the top two rated, and especially their prices.

RACE 8 MR71 1600m
85…Kudos 16/1
85…Sugar Ray 3/1
85…Ushkadel 7/1
84…Solar Energy 12/1
84…Kruger Gold ??
80…Smart Royal 8/1
Silver Specialist, Divine Invitation, Kruger Gold and Kudos all have good VS history, and should any of them be able to reproduced past figures it should be good enough to win here. Liking Kudos and Divine Invitation best of all in this very competitive race.

Thanks THH....(tu)(tu) I think we were all waiting for you...seeing Englander and Gregbucks are resting on their laurels....<
