All the best to all Clanners...

howzit all

race 1 - Olivia with blinker strike top chance...Main dangers could be Miss Venezuela and the Paul Peter first timer Sabrina Fairchild

next 3 races are fairly easy to read....favorites should oblige...cover just another for bipot ,,,at least you might double up...GI JOE surely a P6 banker

Wonderful Rock looks ready to win but rather include a few more in exotics

Pilgrims Progress with jockey strike (no pun intended ) will be good enough for pa banker

race 7 nightmare to read...go wide if budget allows or just focus on the top 5 in betting...your call

race 8 - tough looking sprint so go wide once again if budget allows...head on the block... will be shouting for Ring of Fire with paper weight and Isphan to repeat incredible last run...another big danger will have to be Valbonne

race 9 - Garden Party very hard to oppose but dont discount King of Delta and Blow me down

enjoy chaps!

My take on the Vaal today - agreed the 2nd, 3rd and 4th look done and dusted for the favorites ...

R5: Could be a bit if a surprise here - Wonderful Rock not guaranteed to stay the extra 200 - Watching Closely needs to reproduce her last effort - for me I know Miss Cap Mala is very moderate, but at 10s I think she represents the each-way value with Nabeela her biggest challenger

R6: An extremely closely matched field of fillies and mares; Rabia the Rebel boasts a win and a 2nd over this track and trip and I will definitely include her in all bets; Franklin improved over ground last time and can't be ignored - but would not like to be caught short in the exotics here

R7: Another difficult race to predict; anything possible

R8: Smaller field at least - also fancied Ring of Fire, but the value is gone; Isphan should be right there with the other Peter runners

R9: Unfortunately not an easy close - a roughie that if returning to his best could blow every one away in the last leg of the P6, is Brightnumberten, while Lord Grantham now gets a run and also looks way over-priced at the weights - also getting another 1.5 kgs off courtesy of the apprentice; Touch of Fate best over the minimum trip and another who imo provide value at big odds

Very tough racing the last 5 races - so although it should be a 5-legged P6, I think it will still pay very well

Enjoy

Not too bad pity about that Peters bomb in the first leg of the P6
