VAAL???

Okay, had a few days off- let's have a little go.

R1 Very close call between "El Diva" & "August Eight".
R2 "Mandelenkosi" w/Mienie looks the 'A-team'- "Sugar Mill" the main danger.
R3 "Captain Lance" & "The Manchild" both appear big runners.
R4 A fancy for "Coropuna" = Plus - step up in trip. However Minus - a 2yr old
R5 "Virutas" & "Man of Atlantis" to fight it out!
R6 "Fanyana" will take the beating.
R7 A very hard race to call = E/W "Love by Day"?
R8 Very Well handicapped = can't decide between 6 runners - lol!

Therefore I'll play a double between "Coropuna" & "Fanyana"
Plus "Mandelenkosi" & "Love by Day" in a small E/W 'Lucky 15'

Nite guys - ouzo, Jim.

Race by race comments (as the brain cannot assimilate a whole card anymore) :

Race 1, Western Assembly, now a gelding, 74 day lay-off, has run reasonably close to some good sorts, and with Strydom aboard, makes appeal at 5/1.

wayward lad will take swingers with your choice Cuckoo

Good man, monty. Ouzo !

Stuck you out, monty.
At least you had a run for your money.

yeah...no problem

R2 have taken swg boxed 1 ;4;5;10

I with jim, a small interest on the Knife Racer, Mandlenkosi in R2

Added Da Rocca and Salient in quartet. Another roughie ?
Hope macs team win but Alwaysawinner the 1 to beat imo.
