Looked at this one for an age tooooo long Mr H lol. The thing that bothers me about that formline is Hobb's Flight running third and in a time that was not especially quick for the horse, HF being a maiden of over 30 runs. Lto ran 0.36sec slower and finished 10l behind Green Dollar. That would give VR something like 13l to find with GD, who was 3.25l behind Google It (over 1200). Lots of conflicting collateral form though and has done my head in, think I am likely to back one in double figures and pray a little!! lol

Only bets for the day taken 3k outlay but not on staight wins
Patent x 500
GOOGLE IT 15/10
CANDLELIGHT QUEEN 16/10
SOLS GOLD 28/10

24/1 all to come x1000

Go fill the kitty

If not too short Dare to be Grand will go close -Sorry for not posting Rosie Hills Tuesday Barend was silently confident(as with Dare his concern is the distance if it was 1800 it was a punt) got busy -Got Vertical Drift on Friday with Richard Fourie up who I think will suit include in your play big runner

Thanks Bignic - break a leg; I know it's not your horse, but any word on Arabian Princess in the 6th?

For me I think Banjo Bay can follow up again - ran above his allocated rating when winning impressively last time - has Marching Band to beat, but with only 52 kg's vs 59.5 I'm in BB's camp - the pace here could be a real factor - many front runners may mean that they go too quick up front and leave the door open for Indian Striker to mow them down from behind IF he takes to the sand - I'm hoping Khumalo can judge the pace correctly.

In the last many will fancy Shepherd's Song, and although he looks an improving sort, he was beaten by Salute the Sun on debut and at the odss imo the value lies with StS - outside draws not that dominant in recent weeks, but certainly not a hinderance; Woza Madoda had every chance in a work riders last time, so needs more improvement imo

For some each way value, I'm looking Arabian Princess in the 6th - by Spectrum so should enjoy the sand and has the plum draw; also Tacit Tiger in the 7th - has her 3rd run after a rest and should improve from a good draw - has Boujis and Countess Bacardi to beat imo, but both of those are drwn wide, so I'll take my chances with TT

Enjoy (tu)

Looking forward to the battle between Striker and Gavin today.
