Miss December's debut (T1000) three lengths to FC ,1/2 length SR and on time,0,12 seconds slower then Precursor on the day she won her maiden (V1000) could be good enough to place at least

Tamanee and the captains tune look like potential bankers.

Strongmind and last battle roughies in the last race.

First punt of the new year to be a winning one...

Race 4, Conditions: #9 TAMAANEE; weighted to win by over 3 lengths; trainer Tarry is hot; lightly raced; nap her.

Race 7, Lebelo Sprint: not much current value for the top 3 on the bookies' boards; So, #2 MR WHATEVER; good form includes downing Schiffer allbeit in July; jockey Randolph is hot; the stable raids from KZN not just to enjoy the good weather; I think worth 10's.

Prosperous punting




My buddy's Alarm Call going down by a whisker after trying to bite National Flame, the winner, in the 2005 Lebelo. Alarm Call won the 2004 rendition at 20/1. It was a grand day.

Some thoughts:

R4: Bravo Maya if repeating her penultimate when running well above her rating, could upset her more fancied stable companion - surely only the 2 runners needed for the P6

R5: The Captain's Tune has shown glimpses of potential but is too short in the betting (imo) for a handicap - trying to beat him in the P6 (with any of Akii Bua, Leeuloop Jet, Zanzibar Man, Bah and perhaps also Laurie's Gold)

R6: Maria Therese all the rage, but has yet to confirm her reputation on the track - will be many people's P6 banker, so I will also be trying to beat her (with any of Withbatedbreath, Main Sunday, Tinseltown or Pinchbe)

R7: Competitive sprint - I think Trip to Heaven is vulnerable over the 1000 - Tiger Territory is in top from and is my first choice from Chekilli and Trip to Heaven

R8: Many with chances - only Sheen Queen looks out of it - take your pick

R9: Very difficult race to close, but have to narrow it down to Gasoline and Barbel Run - my idea of a roughie is Duty Dance - as per Formgrids, must rate a decent chance at big odds

Enjoy

Only bet at Turf today and a small one at that...

Race 4 7 Bravo Maya...(Danielson)
