Hallucination is scratched

Rather take Plum British 8/10 a fixed place than Ebony 5/10 for a win

Just a thought

CnC Someone likes you so much that they named a horse Scotland. Check it out in the last race.

R3 Fish River Canyon
R4 Victor Young (w/o the fav)

No sure why we need to have the Vaal today ......anyway, some thoughts - and as per usual I am mostly in Englander's camp :ohmy:

Some general thoughts .....rain has finally arrived so horses who have been struggling on the hard ground should be improving; also in the week all races down the straight were won by runners drawn 5 or lower :huh:

R1: Looks a 2 horse contest between Ebony Knight and Plum British - with Torre del Oro the unknown quantity

R2: The draw bias (or not) will probably show itself here; Just a Jag needs to repeat his very good last run and is also potentially drawn on the wrong side; I like a bit of Wottahottie - has a chance on form and also get the 4 kg allowance from an inside draw; both Maroun runners have cracked inside draws so have some upset potential here; other form runners are drawn high, so until proven otherwise, I'm going with the runners down the inside

R3: Fish River Canyon tries the extra 200 - only the race will show if she needs it or not - does look the one to beat though; I think Cosmo Russe (out of a Saumarez mare) will get much closer to FRC today; only other 2 needing consideration are the de Kock runners - of which Strut Your Stuff is my preference

R4: Everyone's banker and will probably arrive - more due to the lack of competition than anything else - also no obvious alternative, so if you are trying to beat him, you will need just about the field

R5: First of a string of real competitive looking handicaps - I'm going to take a chance and suggest that Consequentially is still ahead of the handicapper - blinkers have really improved her and she won in a common canter last time; main dangers obviously the Woodruff coupling and Tobsuretobesure; some spooks to consider imo are AP Chanel and Tales of Mambo - both (especially ToM) have come down a lot in ratings

R6: Very tough race imo - the 'right' horse Mythical Magic has the potential benefit of an inside draw, but does seem to have a bit to find at the weights; others who look well in like Might as Well and Pied Piperess have outside draws; for me I like a bit of Wendish - coming off a rest, but really likes this course, has potentially the 'best' draw and has won her last race off a 69 and today will race of an effective 65; Beckoning appeals with the 4kg claim and another roughie to consider imo is Cat's Whiskers who has tumbled down the ratings

R7: Colts and gelding's equivalent of race 6 - although we have all jocks riding here - Trip to Paradise always thereabouts and hard to imagine that he won't be right there again; Move Like Jagger may be a bit better than his last start and has won 4 race out of 5 tries over this trip, so must be in with a shout as well, while Streetwear completes the trifecta of most likely contenders - he has potentially the 'better' draw of the 3, so is my tentative first choice; a few spooks lurking imo - among them Star Trek, who has been sent to PE where he won twice in a row - connections must feel that he will be competitive in Gauteng again ; Triple Beat is still dropping down the handicap - does look better over slightly further but has the potential advantage of being drawn on the inside

R8: Not getting any easier.....another race where the draw may decide the outcome - from a PA point of view, I'm siding with Intandokazi - but Roaring Tiger and Son of Approval both look well handicapped and may be good enough from middle draws - not too many without a chance though

R9: Due to the open nature of the rest of the P6 races (bar the opening leg), I'm going short here - Roquebrune looks very capable and for me will prove hard to beat at the weights over the minimum trip; there are many others including All Night Flight, Just Africa and perhaps Alaca looking for place money, but for me the main dangers to R are Gun Fighter and Magic - GF has been badly off form but has won 3 races over this trip and is slowly coming down the handicap - also imo will enjoy the 'friendlier' going - he does hold Magic on his last win, but Magic has the 'better' draw

R10: Time to do something else ......

Enjoy
