R7 If the likely winner is from the MdK stable the level of unscrupulous behaviour by those pricing a race comes down a notch but compensated by a lack of value

Just been asked to open a Vaal thread...

Takes longer to write a pm than to scroll down ?

I will Banker TAMMANY HALL

fair form if you look at the lengths the horse has finished in the last start and 3rd from last start!!

7runs back, over course and distance,same draw as today and carrying the same weight, she ran second behind SAINTS ALIVE (MR85) 1.60 lengths off!!

Guys I hear luckys horse in race 3 is strong and his coupling in the 5th wont miss the trifecta. Let's see

Money flowing on LAS SALINAS in Race 2!

Form wise something will have to come from the clouds to get the better of Chief Of State
Henry James and Fuyu under him

Include Mercer Girl in a shady race and Bursa gets a metion for minor money

Azkur to win Waity Kaitie place

Dutch High Seas Beauty and Elusive Butterfly

I think it's a nice card - let's see .....

R1: Obviously the two Peter runners stand out - and one would think Ndlovu is on the right one

R2: Some very moderate maiden fillies .... so an upset not impossible - see there has been some support for Las Salinas - for me you need quite a few to make sure to survive the BP and PA

R3: Spring Poetry the obvious one, however not all cut and dried imo; Tambalang comes off a break over a trip possibly short of her best, but has come down in the ratings and gets another 2.5 kgs off courtesy of the apprentice, so must have some sort of a chance; Azkur once ran less than a length behind Secret Potion giving her weight, so a return to that sort of form will easily win this; Waity Katie looks well handicapped as a 5x winner and could also feature if she gets the 2000

R4: Wild Thoughts the right one after a very good 2nd last time; has a bit of a wide draw though, which could leave the way open for a roughie like one of the Dawson runners or Take My Word to take advantage of their favorable draws; others with form like Julep, Sea Like Glass and Pigeon Post also have to overcome some iffy draws, but could feature, and if Ex's 'n Oh's can find the form again when beating WT behind Kimberly Green, she could also be a threat

R5: Very competitive F&M handicap; even Crimson Royale can't be totally ignored on her earlier form and she does get a tongue-tie today after getting her tongue over the bit last time; I'm loading up

R6: Best bet for me is Master and Man; best weighted and holds most of these on exposed form; I think Bangkok could run into the money - blinkers back on and in my book should be about at 76 on his maiden win in KZN; pulled hard in his first start up in Gauteng and then did not feature under the lights on a wet track (also did not race with blinkers that night)

R7: Two horse contest between Warrior's Rest and Greener Pastures; for me GP still has to confirm that she is as high as 93, so I prefer WR; Victor Forth needed his last start this past Saturday but should be a clear 3rd here on some of his good earlier form if the run has not come too soon

R8: Like the 5th, this looks like a very tough F&M handicap; all of those in the betting must have some sort of chance; my preference is for Mademoiselle and I think Clairmorris is good value at 14s

My fancies on a nice card:

RACE 4: PIDGEON POST
RACE 7: WARRIORS REST
