Clairwood Sunday

Good morning and racing from the garden course today.

Best bets would appear to be Fashion Queen and On Her Toes.

I gather by other posts that we cant expect any inputs from trainers and owners?

So all mug posters please join me here with your selections.

good punting!

SACRED FIRE'S first run at Greyville from a shocking draw (12/13) was a cracker he is again drawn wide but with natural improvement and the longer run in he should go very close today.

Not sure they are racing,apparently plenty of rain about.

not sure what to make of the tabgold rainfall figures,but a pen of 35 says it all

It has pretty much been raining on and off since Christmas afternoon on the KZN South Coast. Would expect the going to be pretty soft as per the pen reading. Overcast day but not raining as yet.

See that Red Tribution did not receive a penalty for its last run and hopefully after many runs this year, will win again. I hope that the soft will not be an issue, although he has faired ok in the soft but was beaten by National Command.

Weight terms are the same today with National Command, granted that the last run he had a 2,5KG claimer on. Byleveld may be able to turn his fortunes around.

Ruffie Balkan King 14/1 at the moment.
