Spanish kiss to win n the painted lady/usisi place

Yeah one bookie who barely lays a bet! Was hoping WSB would have have some presence on their day.

I fancy Shamal today, think she is a massive runner. Also King of Cloth in the 1st.

R3 Twitchy to make quartets pay!

Some thoughts for the desperate:

R1: King of Cloth needs to repeat his last effort - if he can should be in the first 3 - obviously lots of talk about the first timer

R2: Got burnt last time with Susquehanna - so imo either of the less experienced sand debutantes Perppermint Crisp or Oblivion could upset the 2 fancied runners

R3: Spanish Kiss obviously all the rage - too short imo taking into account that she is a sand debutante - if River Empress was in this race, she would have been priced up a contender, so Mistify Me looks good for the first 3 at least

R4: Sweet Painted Lady should be too good here - dangers La Strada and the Trippi colt Alaca, who should like the surface

R5: Tough - maybe Forest View worth another chance with Marco back - spread a shoe last time

R6: Usisi ran better than her rating last time - only slight concern is that she has been on the boil a while, but if she brings her recent form to the track again, will take a lot of beating - danger fro is Sway, for also won well last time, imo recording a higher rating than given

R7: Competitve - Isphan has the draw and should at least be there - but not a race that I'd go short

R8: Dreadfull lowly rated filles and mares - I think Miesque's Storm was given a look st the surface last time and could surprise at big odds

R9: Not easy; Dakiwe a winner this trip, and is my first choice - however the St John Gray runners can't be ignored

Enjoy

"Haddington had two successful trials on the surface"

Niko is nearly coming all over the screen

Lmao!

nico comes in under 60 seconds

just hope striker doesn't run 3200m....

Wishful thinking but having a little on Tolmay's seemingly second string, Gracie Gold, given she has the pro up. Done the three outsiders in miniscule exactas. Should be 1-2 but it is such a dire field anything could happen

Hoping that Ginger Sioux can pull this off for my double with the 1st race.
