Arlington 20/9/13

My confident fancy's today -

Olivian
Augusta National
Icemberg
Miss Diana

Roughies 4 places - Kelly's Heir / Bermuda Winter

All the best to those with runners:)-D

Any Smith and Paddock PA's doing the rounds today?

Scratchings please.

Pa :
2,3,10/2/2,3,9/3,6/1,7/5,10,11/2,3,5,11

Rain all day
Running into strong headwind
Gav Smith Racing

PE is a strange place to bet is it not? If there is one thing I don't want today it is a repeat of the fancied ones winning comfortably again as a few did last week, it is just so unexpected that it is almost as bad as 50/1 shots winning lol... and yes, of course I'll moan if that happens and I haven't backed them!! - I suppose PE is just a place where we are going to moan whatever!

Obviously a tough card and shall just be doing my numerous small stake patents etc based on selective stable runners and around a few I like whether they be somewhat fancied or complete idiots. Expecting nothing but hoping ( A small selection lol...

Well they need some rain every now and then to nurture that precious 'fynbos' - and also to give their rugby team a much needed edge <
