This is such a terrible card for a Saturday meeting. There is one MR86, and 4 races ranging in the 60's and 4 Maiden races. Don't get me wrong, finding a winner on any card is difficult enough, but this is ridiculous.

I have played a place double :-

R4) Ruby Ruby X (R7) Tiger Hotspur (14/10)

They both could win but I'm not overly confident they will.

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Not a card that created much of a buzz but as I am not really playing CT or Greyville currently, needs must

Playing the following in trebles, they must all have a chance but playing small with no great confidence...

R2 Gold Cup Girl
R5 Kapitan
R6 Ganesh
R7 Global Power
R8 Eurakilon

Semi-idiots minimum stake e/w patent
R5 Moon Lay Hidden
R8 Augustinus
R9 D G's Boy

Be(s)t of luck to all

Some thoughts on the card
Race 1: Hyaku beaten by what appears to be 2 decent sorts but this stable does not have a great record with odds on horses so its Masterly for me very well bred if he's done his homework can make a winning debut
Race 2: Gold Cup Girl having watched his last two runs appears one paced to me so gonna pass him by Bad Dream ran a good race to a promising Green Crest then was drawn wide last time, striker retains the ride plus blinkers now to sharpen him up
Race 3: Weaponology beaten all his rivals one time or another and trainer/jock has great strike rate together, these type of stayers battle to run 2 races the same so hoping he can survive the bipot
Race 4: Miss Rambo at 11/10 is a joke run in weak races and is closer to a 5/2 shot imo Royal Quest on the Maayaat formline appears to be the one to follow @ 20/1 e/way
Race 5: Kapitan read somewhere Tarry thinks this is decent so on that can blow this field away, past that load up
Race 6: Dansili Express not sure how he will go on grass but appears the further they go with this one the better, handy weight and not a strong field @ 20/1 e/way
Hoping for a Human double go you good thing
Best of luck to all

Cannot agree more Bayern

Cannot agree more Bayern , got P6 carryover written all over it ! With Keniworth being heavy I believe racing will not see my money today but luckily we have lots of sports betting going all around so no opportunities then look elsewhere... Pa, Bipot, JPOT the bets I will nibble on today but nothing on the nose for me in conjunction with a grooms protest = stay away from Turfies imo

R4 IMO work rider race form doesn't normally hold up too well. I think Ruby Ruby is one of the better bets on a tough card. I do fancy dansili express too though.

Best of luck guys.
