Hey Good-Things

I agree with you regarding Harayana...(tu), is my 3rd choice in the race.

Positives:
MR has dropped to a rating where he can be competitive
Runs well this course
Simons aboard (goes well for him)
3rd run after rest, should be cherry ripe ...

Selection: Two Wood/Siciliano/Harayana

Thanks Greg !
taking a min. stakes e/way - fingers X-ed - who knows !

I'm going to take a pot with all the clans selections, don't let me down hey...

watch out for maiko magic... & point hope!

& add in make space

Greg$ i am also a little concerned with Star rating holding on at the business end of the race . You might consider including Cartwheel in your pot . Yip i know it's a bit of a loony selection as he has run some bad races recently and is also out at the weights. But the drop back in trip and the jock strike could see him repeat his c&d win .

Ps i make Floating feather a big runner today with that light mass and running back at the vaal . I'm sure the bosses would say she's in with a chance .So no need to ask .
