gooo lu... as clousseau said, "have a goooood whun"

Go for it Cuckoo!!

The king of spain!!!!!! today is not......... again!!!!!

The King Banker in the PA, Cuckoo?

Is Mr Veale on final notice?

Veale Schnitzel.

Observations and fancies (from an out of form punter) :

8 Races at the country course, 2 juveniles, 2 maidens.

Race 1, Dont normally play these but Robinson Crusoe is the Man Tuesday.
Race 2, Bank Hall looks the 1 to beat but The King Again is improving steadily, albeit slowly, and must be a PA banker.
Race 3, Pass.
Race 4, A few running short of their distances here, where First Disciple looks to be finding some form and should win.
Race 5, Kapen Cat, half-sister to Western Winter, looks hard to oppose, but Gazania Time if she jumps on terms, can cause an upset.
Race 6, Rosestone, having his 3rd run after the rest, has been campaigning against better, and my selection in an open race.
Race 7, Another open race, where Lauren can finish B'fore the imported contingent.
Race 8, Majestic Lad looks a good thing here, where puffin looks set to have to settle for 2nd (again), but then he has that champ doing him and SA proud abroad. Ouzo, m8.

Will structure some multiples around Robinson Crusoe and Majestic Lad (predominantly), and adding The King Again, First Disciple and Kapen Cat to hopefully make up for the last week's losses.
Value e/w bets, Gazania Time, Laren B' and Rosestone.

Ouzo !
