I see some support for your selection. Perhaps the right one.

I did some doubles the treble and the quad on the following

Invincible flame
enbhar
greyville - She's a giver(love the name)
Silver mountain

the quad was around 50/1.

Seems odd that there's no false rail today,considering there was on Tuesday on the same track.Would they really have changed the configuration?

Same as Rob said with scottsville last week, they seem to be announcing late or not at all

If anyone is keen on the favorite in race 3.. don't take the odds currently at around 15/20. U will get better later on.

It is only when they use the inside track that races are run around the turn,as the turn feeds into that track,so a false rail is relevant.
The outside track consists of two straight rails 1600m long and all races are between 1000m and 1600m,straight - it is why there are no races further than that and no necessity for a false rail!

Rob but they have used a false rail on the outside track recently?

That is possible as it would give horses from off the pace some opportunities as the field fans out,but it is not the traditional false rail that we are used to!(and I can't say I have ever noticed one,in running, on the outside track ...........but I am getting old...lol)

It's more like a spur that they've had at the 500m mark,to create galloping room for horses closing from behind.

Funnily enough on Tuesday the draw seemed very fair across the track.There have been times when inside draws were very bad on the outside track,but less so recently.

There was definitely a rail to create room on Tuesday.

2m at the 500m mark I think.

My fancies:
R4 Chestnut Charlie
R5 Not convinced with Musical man for some reason. Seems to love the sting out the ground hence winning last time, il take him on with 1,5,16. Wottahottie back to fav c/d has been drawn on the wrong side last few and now gets a draw. Not convinced of the jock but I do make a big runner at around 12/1.
R6 Devious Tiger. Same reasons as wottahottie and I think Binda's stable is maintaining form, last couple meetings his runners have been there and thereabouts so from a good draw can't get hurt at 8's e/w.
R7 The obvious contenders however I still feel there's more to come with all night flight.
R9 Hoping the penny has started to drop with Prospectus. Woza I think is better over 1400 although having won in MR85 company over the c/d. Il Take him on with the in form Azzies stable in Mr Balboa.

All the best guys.

I would NOT be backing side show in the first

Why flaunt? I'm on at 7/2
