Thanks - hopeful as always - Brightnumberten has to be the one to beat - luckily for us that one may be drawn on the wrong side

Haven't posted in a while so here are my thoughts.

R1 Look no further then Twirl. For me has the strongest formline behind Fly North who has won subsequently. Something obviously went amiss in the last start and thus am drawing a line through the second run. Will be better for the experience, well drawn, stable work rider aboard. All the boxes ticked and good enough for me. 9/2 a cracking price.

R2 The one that interests is Agent Kay with Lerena staying aboard. Bit of money first time out and may be worth chancing again. However definitely not a confident selection.

R3 Humble addict too short for me out of an average formline. Thus I look toward the companion king of pop and the terzi first timer who has been supported. Fearless Fred also warrants inclusion. Hear the storm maybe the joker of the pack. If not liking the favorite, then these warrant inclusion in pas.

R4 No bet. Burundi bush and Momo possibly of value. Not worth chancing anything though.

R5 Maroun runners the value for me. Preference for Great Shaka. Gradually falling in the ratings and I feel will be very competitive off that mark. 10/1 and 18/10 a top 4 great value for me.

R6 Fidelio getting towards a competitive mark but may need a little more help. Stable however in decent touch of late And with Lerena up warrants inclusion. Nitro Charge also now dropping to a competitive mark and stable also having their winners of late and can be of some value. Best of luck to the boys with Airtaxi.

R7 Tough race so no bet. If forced il go with Manns inn (possible double with twirl) and Tokyo drift but no confidence whatsoever as this race is so wide open.

R8 Less said the better. Good luck.

R9 Peg o my heart exceptional value here. Last race too short and used to bring her on. At the weights (albeit out at the weights ito the handicap) has a lively e/w chance.

R10 Mdk horse is quietly fancied but for me the classic or turf inside track is the horses ideal track. If correct she could be found out by the likes of polar Secret.

R11 Trip to paradise is value at the current 33/10.

My pain play for places.

Twirl
Great Shaka
Peg o my heart
Trip to paradise.

Play well.

Going with Twirl. Tongue tie should have solved the breathing problem lto. Good debut run.

Twirl,fighting for her head might be found wanting in the latter stages
