No pen reading on Gallop yet, anyone know how it`s looking?

Absolutely no chance of racing with the expected heavy showers arriving in the morning.

if they do run

my best bet would be love happens dropping back to the 1800m 16-10

in race 3 - lady catherine at around 7 8-1 looks very good 3 runners that finished behind lady catherine have come out and won captains flo . la quinta and miss generosity.. ohwhatanight ran 2nd to viridian night and 1 horse came out of that formline and ran a distant 3rd

i do fancy Bob's value bet a bit maraki at 8 9-1 has a great shout

i think race 1 - ticket to ride from a good draw will go close

and race 8 rosemary will go close

but fairly confident with my chances on the dbl lady catherine x love happens

if they dont race remember the name lady catherine

Race 3 Wild Creature. well bred. champion dam

They wont finish this meeting..... if they even start it.

Apologies for the file size..... That front should hit Durbanville by around 14h30, with the real rain expected at 16h00.

The pen reading is 29 and track is soft so very doubtful

So I guess a pick 6: load the first couple of legs, try and get results and then pay pay after a couple of legs 🙈

Double

3) Lady Catherine
5) First Street
