On a day when the earlier races won't get much of my attention - slight matter of a rugby game in Japan - but still seems a card where money can be made (but that's what I thought last week )

R1: The way Bold Ransom runs will probably have an effect on the starting price of Succession in the last - for what it's worth I think Orchid Street could give BR a go

R2: None of the 5 without a chance; my BP numbers are 1,2,4

R3: Hard to against the money here

R4: Queen Supreme in the Little Black Book of many and I also marked her as one to follow, however this is a tough handicap on what could the wrong track for her; both 3 yr olds catch my eye, especially Way of the World who looks better than rated and value at the price imo

R5: Virginia has struck form again, but imo is now back at a realistic rating; Abelie the biggest danger imo, but this is quite competitive; Witch of the West tries 1600 and is an upset possibility

R6: Pinnacle Stakes complicated by the fact that many of the runners weighted to win here are running over a trip short of their best and are using this as their comeback runs for races coming up; Puget Sounds has his 3rd run after a rest and only has the draw against him - so obvious chance; although Roll of Drums and Diamond Dancer are out at the weights, they also have the advantage of being racing fit, so those 3 stand out for me

R7: Before the Dawn in form and deserved favorite, but Cattitude from pole position is a big danger imo; Seemyvision tries blinkers and may improve, while stable mate Ilha da Var also tries blinkers and could be a threat from a nice draw at these weights

R8: Black Ferrari fair maiden win and has the advantage of a good draw; Passion Peach will get it right one of these days and is very well in at the weights compared to Lady Lucinda on their last meeting, for me I think Mount Laurel needs more ground although scraping in last time beating a wall of horses to the line

R9: Succession good maiden win, but now goes around the turn against multiple winners - so not cut and dried imo; biggest danger for me is Fitzwilliam who looks well weighted, while Greasepaint and stable mate Neng Kapa Neng have the advantage of good draws; Mount Keith another not to be ignored

Enjoy - the rugby now gets my attention - Go Bokke

Clinton binda birthday today :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: Oi Oi!! Happy birthday

Also noticed he only has one runner, and on a few occasions the stable does only bring a single runner to the track and they end up in the winners box

INSIDE POLITICS

Dst: 5:0-1-2
C&D:3:0-1-1

HAS FORM DRAWN SECOND BEST!!

SPRING POETRY (WIN)

6runs back over the VAC 2000m FM 80 HANDICAP (F & M)

Spring poetry finished in 4th place and pilgrims progress finished in 3rd place

Spring poetry carried 60.5kgs and Pilgrims progress 59kgs But had K matsunyane on board and only ended up carrying 56.5kgs because of the claim

The difference in lengths between Pilgrims progress(3rd) and spring poetry(4th) was 0.25lengths (half a neck)

Spring poetry carries the same weight terms today,but pilgrims progress is up 6.5kgs from that run

6/1 spring poetry,small field will get the job done

ANYDREAMWILLDO (E/W)

Dam won most races over the sprint distance, so probably is speedy and drawn well today, hopefully doesn't fade out at the 1200m mark

WISHONAIRE (place)

SAINTS ALIVE (WIN)

Dst: 7:2-0-0
C&D:0:0-0-0

Correct, half sister.

Trainer knows this family well

Well Sunshine Silk - I had one look at that one and told myself 'too short' - and then to top it off the stable mate runs into 2nd and the biggest outsider in the field into 3rd - taking an early shower today
