Good Morning All.

Just my thoughts on the days racing.
Race 1, Mr Henley,
Race 3, Specially Selected
Race 4, Electric Surge
Race 5, Ekoria, Miss Cool and Sweet Pepper
Race 6, I will add Captains Bombshell to my pick 6 at 25/1
Race 7, Captains Randsom, Tree to Life
Race 8, Smogersboard, AL Shkeet, Good Traveller, Bartholdi are a few to add. BAD RACE.
Race 9, Lady Serena

Enjoy.

Did spend some time considering a pick 6

It looks impossible as you do need a banker ?

The Ransom is a star but over a sprint ?
Prophet?
Miss Cool ?
Cosmic Highway?

Will go and see the Greek but he has not spoken to me since I cost him the pick6 last week, I told him that Safe Passage could not win after me tipping it on the site 😡

Grinkov x prophet x miss cool x cosmic. Really fancy this.

Best double grinkovxprophet

Probably - but this meeting has never really captured my imagination - the Fillies Sprint at WFA does bring the cream to the top - but for the rest :dry: 'big' sprint a handicap where many can win :dry: (admittedly so is the July, but the July imo at the weights one has more chance of finding the winner) - then we have 2 juvenile sprints where anything can happen - luckily the rugby is on early afternoon

Anyway, to each his own

Im sure we can have a Big Burn with all the Captain Ransom losing tickets
