I like L'orange today, tough race but that will carry my tenner.

Good luck all

Early thoughts and fancies :

Race 1, Subtle Beauty.
Race 2, Supreme Lecture, with a determined D.David on board.
Race 3, What a question, Man's Mood the Gauteng raider !
Race 4, In Vogue to cause the upset, with Mkushi Gold and Prize Flower for the trifecta.
Race 5, Toughest race, On her Toes and maybe ouzo the Pirate.
Race 6, Sealed with a Kiss to upset the 1/3 fav.
Race 7, Ethereal Lady to defend her title for the same prize money as last year.
Race 8, JJ the Jet Plane, despite that weight. Wish Gajima team well with FB.
Race 9, Kahalay
Race 10, Perfect Illusion and ouzo Oscar the Tenor.

Clouds are building up in Durban,forecast for showers afternoon.

Whats the weather like in PMB????

Best of luck to the clan with their runners today!

FA overcast bits and pieces of sunshine at this stage I don't think any rain

can we have a go at the mood cuckoo?

Worth a nibble, methinks, bush.
By all accounts the lad travelled well, will relish the distance, 11/2, cant get burnt.

agree about Ethereal Lady cuckoo.

Last run was a cracker, southpaw. Should be ready to win again.
Prize money disgraceful, 350k (same as last year) for a Grade 1.
Golden Horseshoe up to 500k from last year's 400k.
And people want to know why our top horses leave asap !

I think Crackerjack King and Mans Mood to go all the way. Crackerjack King stands out after his last win.
