Race 8: Dontshootthebarman 8/1 , holds the favourite Bourboun Reserve 22/10 on the Yamadori run and looks worth a nibble at the price

Bourbon Street will finish ahead of Don'tshootthebarman again - had valid excuses, should strip a lot fitter after the three month rest run.

Took a break from Sha Tin Card and ended up spending 30mins on this...

R1- 7/6/9/11

R2- 9*/4*/7/8/3

R3- 2

R4-4*

R5- 6.1

R6- 4**/1*/2/3   box swings.ex.trf

R7- 7*/2*

R8-8

These are merely Quick guesses to consider....if i should pick 1 than ill defnitely go with KING OF NUMBERS who must be the VALUE OF THE DAY. I obviously dont know anything about the appy riding him but if half capable...should go very very close to winning

BIRTHRIGHT might go quite close if track is running fast

Never ideal Dutching the first leg of a multiple just hoping one of them prevails :-

Mystical Miss/Versace Onthetrack x Scorpio X Read All About It (11.5/1).

 

Thoughts .... 3 juvenile races with 5 handicaps (2 races restricted to the apprentices thrown in - and none of the appies have imo shown yet that he is the next Muis Roberts) ....

R1: Betting support for the 2 debutantes - but imo they would have to be better than average to beat Far Beyond - form has been franked and drawn on the stand side

R2: Trappy-looking contest with a few first-timers - Scorpio looks the one to beat after a fair debut; money for the first-timer One Tiger from an in-form stable - so those seen most likely; Opera Fan 2 fair runs, so seems 3rd best

R3: Read All About It all the rage; in his last run he gave the field weight running a fair race - tries 1400 where a few of his siblings got the trip; still has to give the improving filly Sister Golden Hair 3 kgs (who gave the field a gallopping lesson at level weights last time and holds Crystal Grove on a line through Emerald Forge), so imo Read All About It not an odds-on shot, as Red Penny also seems worth a shout if he gets the trip

R4: Marathon trip, where To The Rescue looks consistent sort and should finish in the first 3 at least; the others all can pop up on the day - especially with the allowances of the appies  

R5: First of the races restricted to apprentices; with the 4kg allowance they would have to run to beat Dark Silver imo, but as in the 4th, anything else can pop up

R6: Imo Paul Revere on his last run will prove hard to beat - received only 3 kgs and 2,5 kgs from runners like Aristotle (MR 113) and Grand Crescendo (MR 114) and only finished a length or so behind them - obviously ran to much higher than his modest rating of 81 - so is the right one on form; main dangers are Great Notion and King of Numbers, who both seem in their place; dark horse could be Shinto Shrine from the in-form Peter stable

R7: Pressonregardless won well last time and has pole position, so could go in again, but has copped the full 8 points after his win; Night Bomber has yet to prove that he is effective over the 1400, so imo the main dangers to Pressonregardless could be the lightly-raced Corrupt as well as Mastership from a good draw; Tail of the Comet has come down more than 20 points in the ratings, so he could prove dangerous if returning to that form - although it has to be said that he seems to have lost the plot since Jan '24

R8: Competitve sprint; I think Mist in Scotland from a stand-side draw could prove the value - but not too many without a chance here

Enjoy    

R7) 7 Warhawk Bomber e/w
R8) 10 Mist In Scotland e/w

MYSTICAL MISS 

Some nice first timers running today. Will have a go on the first one

Versace Onthetrack... Looks like it may be the correct one...I think the 1000m could be a bit short
Queen's Pact
Hotaru... Upset place
