Turffontein Saturday 25th April

Thought you guys might want an early thread started?

Kingston Mines 22/10 a bet to lump on

Epsom Downs 3/1 place with BW dbl with Air Chief Marshall today

One down one to go :evil:

I see MDK has 20 runners between Thursday and SAT
sure to have a few winners the questions is which ones
hoping to catch a few yankees
that will be my play for the weekend
MDK and the picksix

Wylie hall to topple Majmu.
I see some money being poured onto rafeef against shaama.
Must have sum real steel to beat shaam me thinks.
Alboran sea to keep captain of all safely in the back pocket.
Tamaanee for the wages.

I would tread carefully on the Shaama race. Red Carpet captain is a big runner.

SIRENS CALL beat TROPHY WIFE by 1 length at level weights in both her victories, UNPARALLELED thumped SIRENS CALL by almost 8 lengths. MAJMU beat them both, SIRENS CALL and TROPHY WIFE albeit not at level weights with SIRENS CALL but she was impressive when thrashing TROPHY WIFE by 3 lengths at level weights which holds true to the form of all the above runs even where she wasn't a contender, no doubt MAJMU is the better horse and SIRENS CALL can be considered somewhat lucky that MAJMU did not contest the 2nd leg, the JULY betting is a good indicator of the above where MAJMU is priced up as favorite and SIRENS CALL is 20/1 respectively.

On the above form, there can be no doubt that MAJMU looks a beaten horse against the boys, at 8/10 you'll be kissing your own ass when she finds no response to WYLIE HALL and UNPARALLELED, just can't see it happening for her on Saturday.

SIRENS CALL should have no problem with the extra trip, she accelerated nicely in her last when she looked a beaten horse and won going away, for me though, despite her credentials she is another where on the day I can't see her winning. The extra trip really bothers me although on breeding, she should stay all day long. PINE PRINCESS looks a massive prospect here, she will be catching SIRENS CALL hand over fist the last 400m. No doubt WITHBATEDBREATH will set the pace but she will stop no doubt, especially over this trip. EPSOM DOWNS will have to prove she stays and that her previous run was no flash in the pan. Above all and I've preached it meeting after meeting, ROSALIE despite her not winning last time out will still be my number one here above all else, I said she would win a grade 1 since the beginning of the year and Saturday she will love the extra ground and if ridden a little more handy this time will no doubt contest the finish over the last furlong.

BTW - Those looking at SHAAMA and RAFEEF and co... look no further REDCARPET CAPTAIN will blitz that field.

I will post my selections on race day but for now I thought I'd add my two cents.

WP, the problem with your analysis is that you ignore many factors.
Majmu will beat the boys at these weights. You rely on the Dingaans form- there was a cloudburst before that race, and the going was very awkward. Unparalleled handled it well; got first run and won well. He was unable to confirm next time with Harry's Son and French Navy. Sirens Call was without her regular jockey, was way too far back and only got going when the race was over. That run best ignored for her.
Majmu needed her last run, but still won easily. There is no reason why she should not improve on this effort next time out, and every reason to believe she will run up to her 114 rating. That's enough to win.
At 1600m Majmu is a few lengths better than the other 3yo fillies- and they are a damn good bunch! In my view she is at least as good as the very best of the 3yo colts, and probably better.
The only uncertainty is the impact of the extra distance.

Agree with you bro did a double with kingston mines earlier today.

Definitely SIRPUNTALOT Wylie Hall will topple Majmu.
