Vaal Sand Tuesday

Found a few on Saturday - as often happens, when one does not post, they seem to grow an extra leg - so let's put that theory to the test today:

R1: Pera Hur - fair form over this trip, well drawn with a good rider - takes on the favorite Emerald Mckay who has not run on the sand (and did not shape on the Greyville poly) - not much else in the race imo (main danger Seven Cheers drawn 10 today as opposed to 1 last time out when finishing 2nd in a very weak field) so for me I think PH (in-form stable as well) very hard to miss the first 3 and fair value at 7/2 for the win

R2: Windinmyhair finished in front of both The Berry Lady and Spanish Kiss on her sand debut; I can't see why the form should be reversed (unless TBL make big improvement with blinkers); Magner stable red hot on the surface last week, so for me W another who should not miss the first 3 and also looks very tempting at 8/1 for the win - imo only has the favorite (although by Trippi, not guaranteed to like the sand) to beat

R7: Escudo - has been threatening to win again for a while now - imo has stronger form than the other 2 fancied runners (Polar Secret and Embrasiatic); only slight doubt is that most of the Tarry runners have come back a little underdone after their inoculations - not sure whether E falls into that boat, so perhaps the weak spot (but shortest priced :ohmy: ) of my four fancies

R8: Chief Sioux - another Magner inmate who is at best over this 1000, having run less than a length behind Usisi in a handicap last time he tried this trip; has Just Africa to beat, but for me another who should not miss the places

Enjoy

although I have it to place in my atc, Itook 7/2 on King and Empire. Still believe 3/1 available is great value and make this my nap bet.

Kenny has had 3 runs for 2 plcd for a 67% plc strike rate
He runs Tora Tora in race 6


Tolmay is one from one plc for a 100% plc strike rate.
He runs Battle of Arcole in the 4th

In race 1 1st leg of the bipot i suggest going wide a lil. Emerald mccay is not the most reliable of horses and imo not a worthy banker. Both him and cervantes have proven hard to follow. I would add buddys falcan, latino heat and walk about as this is a grooms race and those r the riders i fancy

Stats in running order

Seven Cheers
Battle of Arcole
Tora Tora

Battle of arcole to win..only bet

Candy Floss for the places!

Had a look at this too. Changed my mind though on canter down, looked like it needs to shed a few kg's...
