Turffontein - The true Super Saturday

Race 10 no 7 : Glider Pilot , win was really impressive and appears to be a decent sort , think it can follow up today @ 7/1

Race 12 no 8: Crown Guardian , this horse is a decent sort on his day and i have a feeling we will his best today @12/1 , worth a nibble imo

Shrewd money is for Saint Marcella

Double hearts

Tarry has gelded 2 who have needed correction for ages -Lord Silverio and Shenanigans (might be a sign of the owner's take on breeding in SA as he has previously made stallionsout of similar horses - Skitt Skizzle etc.. ) I think both must be included in bets
ARABELLA QUEEN
BASSAM
MARYGOLD ew include VIRTUOSA in quartets larger perms
HERO'S HONOUR
DUKE OF SPIN /SHENANIGANS
SPORTING MONARCH ew

Autumn has arrived - going should start to firm up - good day's racing - thoughts :

R2: Tricky start to BP - Bassam the obvious one from pole position; if he fails it becomes a bit of a minefield imo; Duke's Game also a nice draw so could be the one to benefit if Bassam does not feature; obvious claims to Golden Tune (break a leg, Elvis) and Ideal Wolff; runners like El Romiachi, Born in the USA and Sacred Dawn could ensure a decent quartet dividend

R3: Betting seems to suggest that Varina is the right one; maybe Miracle Flight not 100% ready ?

R4: Slalom Queen gets weight and for me will give War Room something to think about

R5: Very tough handicap; Too Phat to Fly the value imo; Cordillera probably the best of the Tarry army; but if some of the runners drawn out wide get luck in running, there could be an upset here

R6: The de Kock runners are returning from breaks, and this look a hot field, so I'm not convinced that either could pull this off if not at their best; Cirillo obviously better than his last start and is my choice from stable mate Tierra del Fuego

R7: Summer Pudding looks like she is crying out for this sort of trip and should take plenty of beating; Marygold another who should be looking for this sort of trip and is the main danger imo, with Kayla's Champ another roughie to be running on - but it's either SP or load up

R8: Both Tarry runners look vulnerable; Ikigai did not give me the impression last time that there was a lot left in the tank; so this 1800 is going to be a stretch imo; Shango apparently missed some work a while back; still I prefer him to his stable mate; Frosted Gold another who may not see out the 1800; Got the Greenlight comes back from the Cape, but is he is back to his best will be right there; of the rest Marshall has a big reputation, but not the form to back it up - who knows ?

R9: Closely matched between the top 5, I just think Divine Odyssey is overdue and may get it right today

R10: Very open; lots with chances

R11: Old Man Thyme with the stand side draw and the weight allowance should be right there imo; Chief of State the main danger if the inside draw is not too much of a disadvantage.

R12: Best value of the day for me is Crown Guardian; has taken a tumble in the ratings; gets blinkers and a good jock from a stand side draw; good each-way value imo; Viper Jet and Solarize the obvious dangers, with Sporting Monarch not to be ignored.

Enjoy

Was that a big punt landed race 1?

Was there transparency?

started favorite on the books, so there was transparency.

Bassam, by four or more:).

2 Bassam 3.50 3.30 2.85 2.55 1.85 1.78 1.75 1.65 1.80 1.65 1.55 1.30 1.40 1.30 1.10

Plenty money came but unfortunately was as flat as a pancake.
Must have been a good few doubles going with this one.

That was disappointing, slap a pair of blinkers on the horse.

VARINA my best bet on the card.

I really like the look of this filly!!

I think the stable is flat and would be surprised to see them get a few winners today. If not one.
