Vaal Tuesday

Go Green could show further improvement. Short and Sweet would look to prefer the mile or more. I think they should have worked out Eight Cities now and can definitely win this, should benefit with Wrogemann up. Short prices about Bosphorous or Go Green could be a concern. - but worth a shot if enough value.

Race 2: Beautiiful Shay looks very well, and should be a force at the weights.

Race 3: Angelic, Goede Hoop and Man Eater need to show some improvement – Man Eater looks bred for sprints. If there is no improvement from any of them, then Generoso (Currently shows no recent form) or Purdey could have a say.

Race 4: Aquaboy with Woodland Sage the biggest danger if he stays the trip.

Race 5: A competitve race – but might prove difficult to oppose Like A Panther at this weight. Brave Nomad a chance if staying with the distance., Oro Negroo could also be in with a shout.

Race 6: Samar should be a big runner here. Lotus Elan a chance , along with Stavinsky (Might Like Further) and Arabian World.

Race 7: Bono should prove to be quite a useful sprinter.

Once again no standouts – so revert to smaller interest bets, with an eye on value.

Could Short and Sweet be Jonkers first winner today?

(1) Horse must have demonstrated sufficient class to be nominated in today's race.
(2) Horse should be fast enough to compete with the field,
(3) Horse should be fit

That's about all involved in my handicapping ----if that amounts to formula's

I think if they do race the value has to lie with middle path and eight cities in the first. middle path ran second to ya keen who is priced up favourite in race 4 after a convincing debut win. eight cities ran second to useful darkest hour. priced up 6/1 and 14/1 respectively. I like a bit of the 10/1 on offer with striker in race 5. Could be a real Fortune Fella today jockey strike and pacifiers on.
