I also like the look of Red Saxon for a place at any price…

Pls note there is an indefinite delay to Turffontein racing today due to a massive lightning storm overhead.This has nothing to do with track conditions and only due to the lightning above.

Seeing that we are in for a lightning delay, I'll post some quick thoughts - quite a few that needs to prove they run to their best on soft ground :huh:

R1: Whichever of the two hotties that take your fancy - I'm siding with the de Kock inmate - no value though

R2: Magnum PI tough to beat - I think the value at current odds is Secret Link

R3: I fancy Forever Mine to be too good here - he has consistently run better than his official rating imo

R4: Where will the best draw be - traditionally when it comes up soft, it favors the stand side, so I have just gone the field in my small P6

R5: Race 4 should give a good indication on where the best going is, Battle Force has been such a revelation and drawn on the stand side - has also won in the soft at Scottsville, so should be right there again; I do fancy Chimichuri Run who gets blinkers again today and Gavin has finished in the first 3 on him on 8 out of 12 tries; Bartholdi weighted to finish in front of BF today and gets blinkers probably in an effort to sharpen him up; Winter Stories also look very capable and is also drawn on what could be the right side of the track

R6: Competitive - Super Excited the value

R7: Perfect Witness very impressive last time and should take some beating imo; Rain in Holland 2nd best for me

R8: A few questions to be answered - as mentioned by many, a lot of runners under sufferance, so the top 3 in the market will justly have a lot of support; I do fancy Shango a bit at the weights, while the roughies Golden Pheasant (just a kilo under sufferance and loves the wet) and African Adventure could make the quartet pay; Puerto Manzano may be asked to set the pace for the stable mate, or Majestic Mozart could ensure at least a decent gallop

R9: I think Smoking Hot the right one (many thought she should have been awarded the Gold Bowl); biggest danger Marchingontogether

R10: Have a drink to celebrate the day - win or lose

Looking very doubtful whether they will race!!!
