Durbanville Saturday 17th

Early thread

R2 Rodney
R8 Star Chestnut

Raining all day today, but should be clear tomorrow according to the weather report.......i suppose it will be soft going tomorrow.

Race 10 - The Great One 28/10.

Word from the stable was this could run on debut and I liked the late headway he made. Obviously will love the extra furlong. Very similar profile to the recent Crawford winner Lady of the House - she ran 5th on debut, put her round the turn and even with a wide draw she won, so I'm hoping this one does the same. Stable in great form and perhaps the biggest danger will come from Craven. Crawford has some really nice horses to follow and I'm hoping Orffer can bring this one home, 28/10 a nice price to take I'd say.

Really nice card too. Lots of good sorts on show.

CRAVEN no race just clobber the bookies

Somebody find me a sure horse for a double

Rodney

Im sure you can do alot worse than have a go with Rodney. Racing fit, slung in at the weights. Imo the main 2 dangers are coming back from rests so will probably need the run. Yes, its not a huge price, but should really put them away.

The odds of 7/2 about the double (R2) Rodney X (R7) Taffety Tart is generous. Going to camp outside the pay-out window before the bookie runs out of cash. Just for good measure, I've added in Cockade, Turffontein, race 3.

Don't say you didn't see the head's-up

Tafferty Tart on bits of form should shit it

I see the pen is 30 at Durbanville, yet only 8mm rain this week ?
