nice race

Small fields but some very competitive races - Florida Keys for me hard to beat - maybe exacta / swinger with Dancing Arabian who likes this track - but needs to give FK 2 kgs - so FK has everything in her favor

where is BAYERN these days ??

Nice to see Joshwin Solomons back riding again
Will try the Run As One and Olympic Silk double

Further thoughts:

R1: Maiden Handicap - beware

R2: 5 runners - surely only one of 3 can win this

R3: 5 runners - but only Pure State looks out of this - I think Theory of Flight is the right one

R4: 7 runners - for me only Bronco Blitz is out of this

R5: MR66 - load up

R6: Very tough again - Masango Machine the value ?

R7: Open - agree with Sly that only Veld Flower seems an unlikely winner

R8: Will be shocked if Florida Keys does not win this

Enjoy

Run of One. That was a good win.

Ja Bob he made a 100 profit on his pa big deal.
