RACE 9 KINGSVIEW

Will be giving Guy From Dubai another chance. Had excuses last time as he pulled up lame. Now 4,5kgs better off with Canigao. This is his 3rd run after a rest and should be at peak fitness. Looks very decent value at 11/2.

Bright and sunny day in Durban. Looks to be a very hot day.

May make a turn pass the course.

BLUE BEACH is carded to race on Friday 19 February.

sorry SCR !!

Beautiful hot and sunny day along the coast...will be great this evening for racing...

R1 Hatton Garden my marginal preference in a tight looking opener
R2 Overly Impressed
R3 The choice of jock, draw and 17 week rest put me off but a fair price about Lady of Kildare who is 3/3 this course and represents an inform stable. Peach Delight serious chance and Vogue Idea likely to be thereabouts.
R4 I guess Nuntius should win this from Royal Champion but I am really not convinced. Jamzig may be in the vicinity and will monitor the price so at this stage will try loose change e/w's on Leonard and Roy's Amazing Ash.
R5 Canigao looks to have big claims but at the prices I would rather chance an e/w on Battle Hammer who is usually not far off and has the 1 box to assist here. Marino Casino will get R2 e/w and Bez-Art R1 e/w
R6 Miss Brody has a lousy draw but has gone well on the turf from bad draws in her last two and her prior efforts on the poly were reasonable, if she were drawn better she would be a confident choice but still worth an e/w imo. Love Conquers All might appreciate trying the 1200 on the poly, with a low draw and a light weight I think she can be competitive. Kadeze has obvious claims while Private Dancer would not be a surprise winner.
R7 Burrwood should be right there but I think there might be some value about Stampede here, the stable seem to be in better form of late and though well behind Burrwood on the turf in soft conditions a few runs back when returning from a 10 week break, his poly form has been reasonable considering some not so good draws. On the 27th May run over this c/d, he is 8.5kgs better off with Burrwood for 0.5l and if he is somewhere near his best he must have a good e/w chance from the 1 box.
R8 Battle In Seattle looks to have plenty in his favour here. if slipping up my order of preference is Argo's Jet, Temple Rock, Roy Royale.
R9 In a tight looking finale, I'm going to take my chances with an e/w on Class Act. Like Stampede she is another Roberts horse with the 1 box. Her penultimate effort was decent enough before failing in the soft lto. She has finished in silver (2.75l) and bronze (0.75l) in two c/d efforts and on lines from that second run she has a good chance of being in the mix. Quintella is likely to go close while Royal Honeymoon and Girlfriend should both be thereabouts. R1 e/w on Hey Sugar on her 1000 debut and the 2 box will help.

Partly for fun I will try a Lembethe e/w patent on Lady Of Kildare, Battle Hammer and Girlfriend and a Roberts e/w yankee on Hatton Garden, Private Dancer, Stampede and Class Act. If Pilgovan Star is his only winner I won't be happy!!

Also tricky, also small stakes! Definitely more of a hope day that I am seeing the form right than a day of expectation... both cards!

Be(s)t of luck to all

Really like Battle In Seattle in the 8th tonight. Pettigrew only has the one runner on the card. His sand rating would have been around a mid 90's, 30 points higher than his turf rating. From a good draw a jock that knows him, just needs to take the surface to score an easy victory. 5/2 looks superb value IMO and is my banker in everything.
