Scottsville Sunday

My play for today on this good looking card. Hidden Thought and Via Scara. I will add in Perpetual Flame for a place and Germany to win.

All the best

Morning Engles,
Not on the last two meetings,seems a mixed bag.
I've just looked at Winningform and the tip guy doesn't have Sigismund(race1)in he's first five picks. I'm off to Corals to get the 15/8,I think it's got a great chance on its debut run that was eye catching.

Not playing today...but i did dream i made a lot of money on no. 6.....maybe follow no. 6 today!

Race 3.

Just One More at 25/1 looks way overpriced.On a line through Mulher De Branco when it won,I have Hidden Thought and Just One More close together.Hidden Thought is 5/1 and JOM 25/1.
Also has the lad Ferraris taking off a handy few KGs and he looks a capable rider.
Could be barking up the wrong tree but at that price it won't hurt for a few shekels ew.

Think GVZ could poss win this but on jocks gone for DONT LOOK BACK (11/1 w/o fav) and smallish e/w on t'other one BELLE'S APOSTLE (40/1 w/o favs) :whistle:

1) 10 Master Thief (w)

Favourite just got kicked at start :sick:

Not playing R1 Dave. Lamb to the slaughter perhaps, especially given a difficult looking card but trying...
R2 Merlin From Berlin e/w - decent maiden effort, if progressing has a say off the low weight.
R3 Osprey - little margin for error but seems to have a few things going in her favour today
R4 Los Barbados - ignore the last run from a bad draw and looks to have strong claims. Kingslassie could be thereabouts and a very tentative rand on Aiden's Porsche.
R5 Jo's Bond - back to 1000 on 3rd run after a rest, stablemate Casual Diamond could also be right there,
R6 Diamond In the Sky - comes off a long break which is obviously a concern but did win off a 20 week break 4 runs back, if fit then the one to beat imo, Danger for me is Cause and Effect but Marsala at 20s plus, has won 2/3 over c/d with the only failure being in very soft conditions.
R7 High Altar e/w - the drop in trip and high draw are possible issues but was close up to Hatfield Sq lto despite meeting trouble 350 from home. That showed good improvement on his previous outing and is now on 3rd run after a rest, has c form earlier in his career. Roy's Zara, look to have problem throughout that race and was only 2l back but is another with a poor draw. Hannah's Answer will fill my exacta/tricast combos.
R8 Amanika - small e/w
R9 Hey Jude - tentative. Small e/w on Roy's Novice, could go close with the draw advantage.

Be(s)t of luck to all

Once again punters get the shaft, how could that favourite be allowed to race :sick:

Daylight robbery....

Top ride from LH
