R8  DOUBLE GRAND SLAM........  hot pot favourite.........  is it a concern that this filly has had 3 x runs over 1600m... & is yet to win any of them !!!

won't be my BANKER.....   Silver Sanctuary  got to be a   BIG  threat -

ASIYE PHAMBILE  ( Rachael fell off at the start last time....  owes me BIIIG time -  had a nice little  R 5500 -  R 5   YANKEE WHEN SHE FELL OFF LAST TIME )   would be nice to collect HERE !

Definitely include Silver Sanctuary as these two should fight out the finish. I personally like SS. 
 

Elvis if your budget allows also include Red Palace , I think Greyville will suit her racing style.

Morning guys! Long time.

I concur with popular opinion regarding the difficulty of the card.

That said, here is my software's analysis of the main race. As usual, the software was on crack and threw Barbaresco on top by a margin followed by Royal Victory. From See it Again to Aragosta the ratings are close, and it becomes about luck in the running. It does not rate Flagman highly which I, prior to the analysis gave an outstanding chance having been touched off in the Daily News and now 1kg better for a 0.10 length beating by Green with Envy but that 17 draw! It did win a middle division at Greyville drawn 15/16 so, let's see. Take the ratings with a pinch of salt, no promises are being made, you bet based on these at your own risk.

I would take that low rating of the software for Flagman with a pinch of salt. I got 25s on Barbaresco and 14s on Royal Victory earlier in the week prior to prices coming in and scratchings. I will probably swing Flagman with Barbaresco and Royal Victory, and the latter two on their own. It is a highly competitive race and card! 

Break a leg guys, don't go big today, the card is very competitive. I am playing small, backing value, with a pick 6 and a few of the jackpots thrown in. Indeed, I think the 3 jackpots offer far better opportunity than the pick 6 to win and they will get the bulk of my investment today plus the QAT main race.

As regards Doble Grandslam I agree.... plus if memory servs I think Rascova has finished in front of DGS in all three 1600m starts.....at double the odds I prefer Rascova. That said I also reckon Striker worth 2 lengths so I include Humdinger
 

Wishing all ABC posters the best of luck   - we are sure going to need more than the usual slice.

Just on the Garden Province, Richard sounded extremely bullish on Double Grand Slam - the connections offered the excuse that last time over 1600 she was reluctant to take the gap on the stand side - guess she will be going up the center this time - I do feel that she will beat Rascova this time; Silver Sanctuary, MDK has ventured an opinion that she is his best on the day - so it could be a 2-horse war - remember though that even though Princess Calla won last year, this race has produced some upsets - Temple Grafin in 2020, Zarina in 2021,, and She's A Keeper in 2022 - so perhaps Asiye Phambile is not without hope .... 

Enjoy
