don't leave out says me, who doesn't know much at all. a very in / out horse on every run, but stats show due another bad one tonight...... anyhow just my thoughts.

Elvis that's my roughie of the card

lol... mine 2, has to have a chance at the weights especially if you go back to her run behind Mirror the Moon, now is 9kg's better off...

Trying to work out a pa, any thoughts on the zackey first timer, HYPTHERMIC, looks the right distance for this mogok and zackey has products 2 year olds debut winners over the distance before.

I thought Escape Clause could also be a banker but 2yr olds so covering.
I do think Tripp Force is a great 4 place bet.
Fah Fee should also place as will Kingmambo's Legacy.
Only the draw to beat Phuket - I'm afraid Leah's Little Love will only get going after the pull-up as 1400m is too sharp for her.

Got a first timer in race 3 Egocentric John Vos told me it is a decent sort but might be a touch short I got the 40/1 but the value gone wont back it at 8/1 against the fav but one that will hopefully win in first three starts

Goodluck Sir, hope he runs well! Interesting the stablemate has Lerena up, must be a decent sort too.

I know John think a lot of stable companion but he is a colt and a bit naughty still under the lights might be a problem-I got the inform jock on;-)

Yep can't complain having a jock that won two graded races over the weekend, both top jocks and in form!

Chaps something I've just noticed. Leah's little love is carded to run on Thursday over 1600 outside track drawn 12 at 20/1. Maybe this 1400 is just going to sharpen her up for Thursday. May watch tonight and then get on on Thursday. Raging princess for me tonight.

Also really like fah fee and Tripp force tonight. Some nice e/w value in my opinion.

Last night meet of the season up in Gauteng, I believe, so got to have a go - still baffles met how under-utilized these very expensive lights are - maybe related to the power problems?

R1: I really fancy Peggy Jay - ran on very nicely last time over shorter and this 1600 should suit better being out of a family who stays all day (I think mom won the Gold Cup :S ) Only slight worry is this new column in the Computaform that shows Trainer & Jockey strike rates - if the figure is correct it has only yielded one 3rd out of 16 tries - still 5/1 not bad odds imo

R2: This looks tricky - Escape Route tries further - for me needs to show more to justify the price; not a lot between Cherish Rivers and Schillachi, Cherished Rivers was making her debut so could have more improvement, but Schillachi has the better draw - can't really split them; interesting money for Hypothermic - this jock & trainer combo looks hot with 11 placed (including 4 wins) efforts from 31 tries - definite inclusion and also if you fancy Escape Route, Netflix was only 1.5 lengths behind ER when N was making het debut - I'm loading up in the Bi-Pot and PA

R3: Not looking a strong field imo - so Toro Rosso does not have be a star to beat this lot - of the raced runners, my preference is for Rosario (another hot trainer & jock combination) from the juvenile Gentleman Only (this jock and trainer still has a 100% records albeit from 2 tries only) and Tripp Force (suffers from breathing issues but would easily beat this field if he can repeat his debut effort over this trip. Bignic's Egocentric could also come into this - and the jock may well have had the choice of rides as he has ridden 2 winners for this trainer from 18 tries

R4: On breeding, Swift Sarah may find this too short, so Phuket looks the proverbial good thing in a weak looking field; danger could be Misty Tiger (Gav Lerena has a good strike rate for this stable) who seems held by Phuket, but is entitled to improvement in her 2nd start - can't find anything else

R5: This should be fought out by the 5 principles and I really like the 12/1 on offer about Glasswing - I think he will improve over this trip and looks well in hereon his effort behind Zortziko in January; once can't really discount the chances though of Viking Hero (that hot trainer and jock combo - although I think he is in his place in the handicap now), Kapitan - not much between him and VH. Making up the quintet of runners with chances (imo) are Splendid Garden (needs to jump on terms) and Fah Fee (looks the best horse in the race, but may need the run and more ground)

R6: Competitive handicap - lots with chances and I'm going to load up - no's 1 thru 8 as well as the very well priced Dynamite Jim - he is having his 3rd run after a rest, stays well and imo could easily turn the tables on Ganesh and Intandokazi; unfortunately our biy Master Entertainer has lost the plot and we are only running him as he has a slightly better chance of earning something as opposed to stand in the stable :huh:

R7: Another real competitive looking handicap - the value here imo lies with the 10 to 1 thru 16/1 shots - all of Noble Star, Time of Song and Go Gold look generously priced if one has a close look at the weights.

R8: 6 runners in single figures and the winner will come from of those - at the odds I'd suggest that the best value lies with Mirror the Moon, weighted to beat Miss Tweedy and Raging Princess, has a nice draw, an in-form appy and trainer. Tutta Mcgee though comes out of a strong-looking pinultimate (behind Sensible Lover and Off the Mark while beating Endearing) so must have real chance as well as Delpech knows how to overcome a poor draw

Talking about draws, it will be interesting to see how the draw down the straight plays out - on Saturday the outside draws seemed to be advantageous, until Bling went right down the inside on Bichette - so maybe those drawn on the inside tonight will head to the inside rail in stead of down the middle -think it's going to lead to a few interesting commentaries as the runners could be spread right across the track

Enjoy

Hoping Strydom has a good night
