Discuss Below

Watching the chelsea game rashford vers chelsea..i havnt posted in a while so ill give you my studdying of the card..


r1 - 5 latest craze

r2 - 8 empress josephine this is a weak field 22-10 is a gift 3.6l behind golden belle who has won twice runs on Saturday in a gr3 with a big shout..tahitian orana will run 2nd

I think theres a few nice bets and quite a few bankers to work with and we got some donkeys in there that could make it pay big looks like kennedy will have a good day canadian play will send after


r3 - looks an absolute nightmare i dont know why but i fancy a massive roughy in 3 our biscuit this horse showed some early promise when 5l off bize 3l behind jive express now im hoping with this horse thats changed stables for a while have figured this horse out now and can show some improvement
all of 2.3.5.6.8

r4 - another nightmare where i cant give confidence in much but explain why i added 3 and 14-3 turfmaster blinkers on which is a positive sign they will take it to the front nice strong jockey in storey on for front running tactics..14 drizzle drizzle has no form to reccomend but is so well bred and connected im hoping the 2000m is what this well related horse is looking for
1.2.3.6.7.14

r5 - i really think this horse captain flynt looks to be a good thing tomorrow even stepping up in trip the waqaas formline is what im thriving on tomorrow p6 banker

r6 - 1 AT hand again waqaas formline looks strong in this race the only worry is the weight nothing else. its tricky because this horse was backed last week from 14-1 into fav and immediately put kennedy on which is very encouraging i think the only danger will be from in the game based on hertog formline but again that was a 72mr waqaas was an 80mr so everything really points to AT HAND winning this

r7 - fly away won an 84 with ease and is rightly shortly priced up there is 2 uknowns in the race tropic sun and allyouneedislove who are also above there merit ratings i do think fly away will be very hard to beat 3.7.8

r8 - is tricky no sweat put the field we got enough bankers and short legs here ill give my input anyway big blue marble stands out a bit based on its last run behind donderweer who if you look in r5 on Saturday at T beat cockeney pride and overaced but has a hefty weight to carry battle creek needs to be respected always in the mix and Sporting monarch carries nothing even though come off a break. Striker could also make a mense on greasepaint

latest craze 28-10
empress josephine 22-10
captain flynt - 2- 1
at hand 15-10
fly away 7-10

One for the day - Race 4, no 7. Our Man in Havanna! Win by as far as a stone can be thrown...

Trainer commments for the Vaal 31 October.
October 31, 2019

Race 1

Geoff Woodruff
No 3 My Kingdom is coming back from a long rest and his vaccinations. He has had 2 grass gallops and is fit. I am hoping for a better run.
Stephen Lerena
No 8 Luke’s Legacy is working well after gelding



Race 2

Shaylen Naidoo
No 2 Notquitethereyet should suit jockey Piere Strydom and I am hoping she can get there. Include in Trifectas
Ashley Fortune
Of my 4 runners No 7 Arabella Queen, No 10 I Want It That Way, No 13 Super Fluke and No 14 Tahitian Queen I have a slight preference for No 14 Tahitian Queen who should be suited to this distance.
Alec Laird
No 12 Miss Caruso will be green, place chance

Race 3

Heather Adamson
No 1 Sea Like Grass should run a better race. I am not sure about the distance but Piere Strydom has been asking to try her over this trip.
Gary Alexander
No 2 The Jocelyn tree has an each-way shout
Heinrich van der Westhuizen
No 3 Our Biscuit is working well but I would prefer her if it rained.
Ashley Fortune
No 15 Aroya Pearl will enjoy the 2000m but is badly drawn.

Race 4

Heather Adamson
No 3 Turf Master settled last time so we now have options on how to
ride him. He does have a chance
Candice Dawson
No 5 Seven Nation Army: I am hoping for a better run.
Corne Spies
No 9 Imperial Ruby has run some commendable runs. I have taken the blinkers off and I am hoping for a minor place.
Tyrone Zackey
I have three runners in this No 2 Poppycock, No 12 Deal Me In and No
13 Royal Siege.
I cannot get Poppycock any better but he has to overcome a terrible draw.

Race 5

Gary Alexander
No 1 Zeal And Zest has an each-way shout and is not out of it.
Scott Kenny
No 4 Snorting has ability. He is returning from a break and this is abit short for him. he needs 2000m and further
No 7 Hidden Agenda has won over this distance. With the 4kg claimer he has a handy galloping weight and I make him a massive runner.
Tony Nassif
No 8 Bosphorus: I am hoping for the best.
Ashley Fortune
No 12 I Fly has a good galloping weight so i am expecting an improved run from him.

Race 6

Ashley Fortune
No 3 Capetown Affair: We have taken the advice of a jockey and trying him over this distance.
Corne Spies
No 12 Bouncing Tigger ran with stronger last time out and so does have a place chance.

Some real trappy racing imo - only one I fancy a bit is Starflash in the last, but the price has gone

i like the form for Sell high in race 4. 6/1 or so looks good value.
