Race 1: Hard to oppose Frank Lloyd Wright but very short price and some nice unraced.
Race 2: Wealthsmith and Boy Scout have some form but the first timers don’t have to be too good to win here. Sherwood Forest has been priced up favourite but a tough ask for a 2yo at this time of year.
Race 3: Flower of Carmel is a struggling maiden but gets a soft chance to shed her maiden. Capaill is in a similar boat and gets the 4kg claim. Dreams of love disappointed on debut but could improve down the straight.
Race 4: An open maiden and quite a few with chances. Mind Blowing and Jailhouse Rock look to have the most scope for improvement.
Race 5: Brett Crawford has a strong hand here, and of his three, Neria improved nicely last time and is my pick here over Magic Mary, but again quite a few with chances.
Race 6: An open race. Hemero won nicely last time and looks very good ew value at 16/1
Race 7: Sun at Midnight ran a poor race at Durbanville last time. This may be a bit short for her but she has a place chance. A tricky handicap.
Race 8: Another open race.
Race 9: Red Rascal will enjoy the step up in trip and was given a soft rating for his first win. I have a personal bias, as I bred his dam , Gold and Roses, but I think he should follow up here.

MR CRUMFORD best place bet

CAPTAIN'S FLAME if you find 5-1 - respect TOO PHAT TO FLY
STRAAT-KIND
RED RASCAL - i think he's better than a 75 - first run after maiden is a worry but won debut like a horse that will go through the divisions - Best Bet

Must say, thought Sherwood Forest entry in the 2nd is an interesting one considering R1 is a Juvenile race. Either Marshall doesn't believe he can beat Frank Lloyd Wright in the first carrying level weights, or his charge can win in open company, he's that good. Whilst i appreciate what PeterD has said about being a tough ask for a two year at this time of year, just a strange decision to enter the juvenile considering the purse is the same as the first race. Guess the race will tell.

oh my heavens, Mr H you are a star mate, got 16s on Mr Crumford, thank you and once again brilliant.

Oi,Oi Mr.H
You beauty

Well done Mr.H.Terrible ride by GVN running up the horses backsides,but that's exactly what you wanted.Plenty doubles and trebles in the bin I presume.

Potawatomi E/w

I think that Mr Cheyne should give ABC a big thank you. He obviously reads our past criticisms of his riding & has decided to get serious. He has been riding well lately & booting the winners home. Well deserved & long may it last.
Well done Mr H as usual, I didnt back your winner but took places on Domeyer.
