Thoughts and selections from a die-hard punter :

Race 1, Many unraced juveniles, pass
Race 2, Helenaki looks to have a bright future and should be too good here
Race 3, Looking for a roughie here. Maybe Rue Pigalle for the grecko's
Race 4, Fancy Bells-a-Calling had a decent debut finishing 3.5l behind Monarch over 1600m, being slow away and striking the rail. Will add Ash Lea as well for thr roughie.
Race 5, Sugarpiehoneybunch and La Belle Otero
Race 6, Tough race. Lady Patch looks the obvious choice but will add Solar Voyager, Carolita and Elata into the pick 6
Race 7, Bound to Travel
Race 8, Triple-Isle and Partatthepalace should suffice
Race 9, Pulling for gajima and bravo to give Fanyana a go here with F.Brutus and Barthez.
Race 10, Quartet c/o where that 'mystery' horse, Fantabulastic, has a great chance.

Ouzo to clan runners !

Will take a healthy double with Helenaki and Bound to Travel, and other multiples as well to include Bells-a-Calling andLa Belle Otero.

hey Cuckoo have a bet on Kings Gold in the first mate

Shot, Gary. Will do.
Ouzo, m8.

eiffel is by medaaly cat not labeeb

I'm taking some swingers with Powerfull Punch in the first.
Just don't know with what.

At the track after a very heavy 70th party, look forward to the CLAN clash where Fair Brutus is my fancy

good punting!

Strydom on a first timer?
Spot on.

Create a stir lively contender in the 3rd imo.

Helenaki created a stir in my bank account

Poor run. Multiples shot. We start again.

Trying a Jhb PA for a change:

2/1/6/2,11/4,9/1,5,8/1

Whispering Reeds my spook for the day.
