*Odds correct at time of posting

Made a note to follow August rain the next time it ran. Race 6.

Some to consider...

Race 1 - 5 Willow Rose
Race 2 - No selection...maybe 4 Captain Morisco
Race 3 - 4 Jet Cat
Race 4 - 1 Golden Spoon
Race 5 - 2 Top Shot
Race 6 - 2 War Jewel
Race 7 - 11 Piccadilly Square
Race 8 - 2 Supa Mufti

All the best to all Clanners for today...stay safe and healthy...had heavy rains overnight on KZN coast...lots of standing water so be safe if out driving...

I think we need to follow S'manga, Alec Laird & young Murray today to make decent money.

Looking forward to watching Al Sakeet run today..looked impressive in his 1st run when winning easily...could be something special...

On paper looks like the punters should get off to a flying start

Siren of Greece
Al Sakeet
Bat out of Hell


Good Punting

Not sure the first 2 hotties should be that short - Bat out of Hell the better value; some interesting racing - races 5, 8 and 9 look particularly competitive - can't believe the odds being offered in the 5th especially

Good day all

Any idea how the going is at the Vaal there was lots of rain up in jozie late yesterday

Fancy some outsiders today
Freezing fast
French leave
Walter the penniless good old Walter one of the days will pop up for me

Bold matador
Courtney leigh
Amberglo star

Good luck all

Our Coys race 6 , if repeating run when beating Nartjie will be a big runner here @ 7/1

r1- siren of Greece looks a good thing

r2- al sakeet no real formline to go on but just having a look at the time he won on debut looks a good thing



r3 - very average race narrow 1st selection goes to jet cat if you excuse his last run probably has the best form in the race add kumhalo and larena

r4 - Golden spoon drops back to the 1200m my narrow 1st selection from bat out of hell

r5- very open race outsider for the day master and man if he brings his prior form has a big shout bottom weight have a say oceans forest also 1 to consider

r6 - 1.2.5

r7 - forever light drops heavy in class picadilly square danger

r8 - contrail hard to beat

siren of greece
al sakeet
contrail
forever light place

Difficult result but good interview 👍

Not a problem but where does Lyle quote his fixed prices from?
Some strange numbers but would expect he would use WSB scrolling ?


That was a decent price for hottie.......
