*Odds correct at time of posting

evening all havnt been tipping much helping a guy with his tipping site but try to help where i can... i believe there are wet conditions tomorrow. so i studdying accordingly.

r1 - nothing strong but if i had to choose Durban boy would be my pick

r2 - Sea Ways looks cut and dry a winner here even if losing legnths pretty confident there will be a margain to the 2nd horse

r3 - probably the most open race on the card imo Mynage will be my narrow 1st selection and last chance on the horse 8-1 is some decent value but obviously not a confident choice

r4 - Kings Archer is my firm 1st selection 6-1 and great value on a place bet i would of preferred a strong jock on and rather carry the weight the apprentice dont seem to do to well carrying 61kg 62kg less a few but ill take my chances having some serious good form in the wet and found a form return last time

r5 - big in the camp of mind reader and 22-10 worth a bet and will be in a few of my doubles trebles NB

r6 - All the rage for Rebels Champ lots of talk having the conditions to suit so i will be with the talk here am always worried about mr grays horses but we shall take a chance

r7 - Keep smiling has a lot going with conditions 40 days rest a bit of a ? but is prefered to the more fit stable comp

r8 - my best bet on the day HELLOFARIDE ive seemed to get this jock right and 22-10 im all in here very strong on this one and conditions another plus 2 runs 1 win 1 2nd BB on the day

r9 - my strong value bet here in TARTAN Dancer 22 runs 3 wins 2nds and a 4th
wet - 3 runs 3 wins stable in form has not finished far off the winner of late and 5 6-1 will be in my play

have a great one lets hope everyone makes cash for tomorrows double🏇

R 3 13-Tinders Choice
R 4 2-True Words
R 5 3-Claremorris

This is what the dart-board says for today...:whistle: no use looking at form when it no longer holds true...

All the best to all Clanners for today...stay safe and healthy...

Pack Leader in Graduation Plate. and u get 4-1 ????

Gone 9/2 Sly

There's a NEW local trainer making his debut today - Daniel Pretorius.

anyone know where he did his " trainer appprentce " my guess is his wife owns this horse !

Tough game he's getting into - unless u have some decent STOCK.

7/2 NOW .............. two scratchings [strike]today.[/strike] yesterday.

Race 1 - Rose Dancer worth a try over 1000m. Place.
Race 2 - Purple Magic drawn wide last start and has scope to improve today. Might place from better draw.
Race 3 - Only The Brave has conditions to suit today.

My filly Secret Dream in race 7 has been disappointing last couple of runs. Is out at the weights with most of the field, so not expecting much today, Keep Smiling is best weighted, and Afternoon Tea, Kayla's Champ and Invisible are all in with a shout. It will be interesting to see if Let There Be Light can improve further after her facile maiden win.
race 2 Sea Ways is the obvious one but price too skinny for me.
race 3 Only The Brave first choice from Mynage
race 4 Ramchandani Road looks an interesting ew value play
Race 6 quite open 2,3,5,7,9 all capable on best form but lots of inconsistent runners
Race 8 If Pack Leader is fit he should win this. Indy Go is 7kg better off with Hellofaride on a line against Christopher Robin, so I am baffled how H can be preferred to Indy.

Really, how does a jock think they are gonna make up THAT MUCH ground on going that appears to be fast.

Yoh.... now that was bloody close withe the favourite there ! Backed it @ 2/1 BEFORE the scratching.

Pity I can't post my fancy PRE-RACE....... cause they ALWAYS seem to get beat :evil: :evil:
was tempted to go with R 4 KINGS ARCHER @ 7/ 1 ... but decided to go with the SAFER OPTION...... or so i thought
