Vaal Thursday 30 October

AL DEE KAY will put them to sleep today!

Fly Phillippa to start short today. The 2nd/3rd and 4th have all won from that formline and Razzle looks like a sand horse.

Tough but decent card for me, at least in puzzle solving terms lol but I am expecting one or two or more head scratchers to possibly spoil the day...

R1 Marginal preference for the Big Show over Oxford Union based on their last meeting and the d, how much the latter will progress though is the "cloudy" issue. Red Haze for the trifecta.

R2 Royal Trip and Seventh Symphony to fight it out, very tough to go against SS but I do slightly favour RT and the price allows an e/w. Medea and Crimson Oak for the minors.

R3 Fly Phillipa hard to oppose imo. Razzle My Tazzle for the exacta.

R4 Panchatanta. Not convinced about Alice Springs so will go value for the exacta, and one to consider for places/small e/w, Bambino.

R5 Dante's Legacy the unknown to some extent. This race is not really a betting proposition imo but if I had to pick one it would be Ganesh despite the draw.

R6 Oriental Blue was a real nagger and is the selection in another open race. Final Score and Stylish Bay is a more appealing trifecta to me than including the fav.

R7 Another tough one but... Finally, its idiot time! lol Ignore the last two (sand and nosebleed) and this one is a huge price imo, though will have to take on trust the horse is fit and well after the suspension, Victory Cruise. Move Like Jagger a big runner and Due and Payable will round off my trifecta.

R8 Lazer Star and Victoria Young coming from strong form lines. I favour the former. Kings V very decent e/w value though imo.

R9 Mystic Tigress my definite e/w selection here. Eagle High and Sweetwater for my trifecta.

R10 Carter. Wallingford and Rafa thereabouts.

Be(s)t of luck to all.

Some of you guys need to learn how to quote better

The Big Show and Red Haze Dutch and sw

Oxford Union entitled to improve from last start, double onto Fly Phillipa who should like the extra.

Will certainly be taking some of the 5.5/1 a place on Best of 3 in 2nd race. stable doing better than past.. 3rd run after rest and good jock up in Fish.....

Trip Kings in the last a place

Pied Piperess at 16 to 1 a place is worth a bet?

Is well related and debut wasn't bad.

Blinkers to do the trick.

and thank you Englander for making me look up the form of the first race winner
hopes on Fly Phillipa to complete the double

Very very tough card IMO and would tread lighly in exotics.. Dont think there is any clear cut bankers..

Doing Bipot with a few loonies in 1st leg.

Was it the angle or did the jockey even use the whip on Fly Phillippa? Others cracking their horse to get up and Fly Phillippa having a light gallop at the end.
