5.75lengths of the winner

The winner won by 3.75lengths

Gets the same draw today and the same weight, should run an improved race

Love the atmosphere during the work riders at the Vaal

ICE BLUE

BARRICADE

(PLACE CHANCES)

GOOD DRAWS
FIRST RACE COMMENTS-GREEN NEVER IN IT

JUMPING JACK FLASH looks to have more to offer been by oratorio and cut up lto 18/1 e/w

I am finding the Handicaps very tough to read today...Wordyness looks just about the best for the day but at evens just not worth a punt for me...

Initially thought Vida Amarosa (12/1) was a well priced horse, but after further inspection there are a few with hidden form, suited to todays race. Did however have a small nibble EW anyway.

Good luck today fellas, for me just not much of a punters day.

Sausalito

Claude Walker found some good carrots.
2 winners in 365 days and today 2 winners in 30 minutes.

Sure his brother Johnnie will be supplying the refreshments
Well done

Goodday guys

My fancies today
Race 5 Sleep in Seattle e/w
Race 6 Certifiable e/w
Race 9 Emerald Bay place

Good luck!
