P6 looks almost impossible today

Unless Irish Wonder and MK's Pride both considered bankers, we will need very big perms

1 X 1,3,4,7,9 X 2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,16 X 1 (may cover with 3) x 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,12 x 1,4,6,9,13

R240 for 10% (or 240 for 5% if covering MK's Pride with Forever Mine)

Rockpaperscissors has been costly to follow, but 4 places look attractive

Have fun all

Some to consider...

Race 1 - 2 Just As Rich
Race 2 - No selection...maybe 7 Bat Out Of Hell (wasn't that the name of a Meatloaf album?)
Race 3 - 6 Wishonaire
Race 4 - 5 Great Esteem, 2 Fast Draw
Race 5 - 4 Twelve Oaks
Race 6 - No selection
Race 7 - 3 Rock Of Africa
Race 8 - No selection...maybe 6 Louis The Seventh

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

Race 1 1/3/12/16 and 13
Race 2 1/7/9 but lotsa 1st timers and Peter runner from a rest
Race 3 1-6 all competitive. 1 and 4

Goodday all

Will Khumalo sweep a few today?
Fancy him on the ffg
Mister blue sky
Emerald crest
Sea virescent

Also like for today
Soldiers song
Freezing fast
Leading fast
Irish willow swinger with wedding bliss
Provided the draws are equal down the straight fancy fifth wave strong today
Roughey to throw in last race Let's talk

Good luck all
