My colleague Sylvester once Leopauxld that Humble Tune was expecting a big run when down at Durban.

Woke up from a deep sleep to find a apatosaurus of 20/1. We set to go each way and embrace whatever comes our way.

Good morning does anyone have a weather update, have been getting negative vibes about the meeting since Thursday?
Might have to focus on Aintree......

Turffontein Update - 9 April
Turffontein recorded 8,5mm rain overnight and the going is currently good to soft (average pen reading 26). Racing goes ahead today.

There is a chance of further rain later, the worst of which is forecast this evening, tomorrow and beyond. So our best chance of racing is to go ahead as planned today.

At the moment racing goes ahead

Race 2 alarming drift on the favorite.

What are we not told that will be told after the race.

All I can tell you that in race 2 that Humble got the virus after his injury and the stable don't really like him in a tough race where fav is hard to beat.
We wanted to run in an easier race but did not make the draw. I thought it was worth a run in a small field to try and earn a cheque rather than sit in the stable.
I have taken a small bet and hope for an improved run.🤞

Good Punting

Lol this guy they have doing the jockey's interviews asks JP about everything but his actual opinion on the odds on he is riding.

I doubt that we will see the last few races, so maybe an idea to take a couple of bankers in the P6 late on

R1: Rimaah looks a pointer in this field

R2: Seemingly a drift about the favorite that is clearly the one to beat at the weights - so who knows; perhaps the stable mate is the right one ?

R3: Competitive little field where Insatiable has won this track and trip in the soft, so worthy favorite imo; Ice Eater looks well weighted and could be running on into 2nd

R4: Tricky contest imo; I'm not ignoring Spanish Boy

R5: Everything points to Freed From Desire as Celestial Love has never run well in the wet; Thumbs Up course and distance specialist and could be 2nd best

R6: Very open - I'm going wide

R7: Dawn of a New Era overdue and looks well in here; King Arthur 2nd best even though the stable is having a few issues

R8: Very open as per the betting - take your pick

R9: Looks a Peter benefit, and at the odds I prefer Secret is Ours from Naval Guard

Enjoy
