VAAL ON THURSDAY

A new distance of 1475m!!!! Why now change the 1400 to this??? Or will they persist with 1400m? Seems idiotic if they do!

Was that not used last year ?

That big money race ?

Not sure why they would change from 1400 to 1475 - probably much of a muchness ?

Last time I tried to label a few longshots, it did not go too well, but I'll give it another go....

In race 6, Rocky Stallone makes his return from PE, he left here with a rating of 73, and returns running off 60 - also has won twice, run 2nd 3 times and 3rd once, from 8 starts over this track and trip - I think not to be left out of anything and definite each way value at current odds

Then in the 8th, Navarro makes a return after being gelded - in his 2nd start ran just more than 5 lengths off Bold Rex (3rd in the Dingaans and deemed good enough to run in the Queens Plate) - running off a 67 tomorrow and imo will be too good for this lot if anywhere close to his best - try for 8's ?

Race3 maximizer onto race 5 equator 14/1 double

6) 11 Woody Glow 6-1

EVERSILVER (BANKER) :woohoo: :ohmy:

Not the easiest of cards today.

I think Striker will get punters off to a good start bringing Queen Anne home. Hopefully she just had an off day last time out and will be a massive runner on her previous runs.

In Race 6 Bling has built up a good relationship with Dawn Flight winning the last two starts he has saddled her. The yard is in good form and she looks decent value at around the 4/1 mark.

In Race 8 Urban Myth has had two very pleasing post maiden runs. He runs off the same rating as these two runs and looks set to run a big race. Some 4/1 is also available on him.

I will be playing a patent on these three horses.

I am hoping Gavin can get that win under his belt today.

SUMMER WIND - i have searched for the reasons for the last shocking run - nothing in stipes reports - she ran almost 10 lengths behind Rose Of Soweto who she should have beaten easily but for a troubled last 400m in their previous meetings - I'm disregarding that poor run - 5-1
