Inside track

Thank you.The first sees some real battlers and the only unknown must be Roses Swansong,so the money should be spot on on the De Kock runner

A similar story in the second ,a juvenile race where newcomers dominate the top.But its where I find my first value bet.Voluptious Lady.I think she has the superior form of the raced runners
1,17 first four,should be ok

Shiver 'n Shake best each way bet IMO. 7/1 is very generous considering weight won't make much diff over this trip.

I like
1 DEVIOUS TIGER A  6 60.0kg (66)
3 b g Tiger Ridge (USA) - Angel Water by Model Man
To Win
And
8 LAVENDER GIRL A  4 57.0kg (77)
2 b f St Petersburg (AUS) - Spectra Girl (AUS) by Spectrum (IRE)


To place

Guys one thing I picked up, why did chambers potentially get off atso's scheme to ride fort success in the 4th. The betting will suggest that AS is the preferred one however FS beat AS last time out and chambers would normally have the pick of the rides for the spies stable? All I'm saying is tread carefully here.

Choc Eclair x China Beach - 34/1 Double. Experience.......

Colin, I see it slightly differently. I personally think Fanie does not get the pick, but Fransie does. Hence Fransie on Atso's scheme. Spies like running his horses often. Astso now 3rd race in what, 17 days? or even less?

Been on grass, not like FS who seems to perform better on sand

Have fun

has anyone got a direct link for a video of that last race referred to by Colin Dav when Atso's ran against Fort Success? Is missing on the Racing Association site.

ayyayah you sure can pic them E

Morning Clanners,

My selections for today, Some really easy races and some really tough ones...

Race 1 : Outright Maayaat - just watch how far

Race 2 : I don't believe Lateral's Princess has shown us what she's capable of in terms of breeding so I would make her a pretty risky E/W

Race 3 : Terrible race, Fah Fee very short but not running against much here, should be thereabouts if one of the 1st timers doesn't upset

Race 4 : Devious Tiger Outright - Could well be he's day, thought the 1400m might have been a little soon last time out, not too worried about the Spies 2 year olds, think they'll have their work cut out here against Strydom's mount

Race 5 : Field

Race 6 : Once again in the de Kock camp with Kingston Mines my outright choice, that being said I will include no less than field in my exotics

Race 7 : Magnus Opus looks another decent de Kock horse, lightly raced and well weighted, taking a FAT chance and bankering Magnus Opus in all exotics

Race 8 : Sarge in Charge was my first selection here but scratched now so will include only two horses Red Rain and Guy from Dubai

Race 9 : Included the following into my exotics in no specific order of preference... Lavendar Girl, Danielle, Yangtze Kiang, Shiver and Shake, American Pie, Silvan Gold, Brave Princess, the one that really STANDS out at me and ridiculously priced is Club Captain 7,50 lengths behind Tzigane, I'll be surprised if that price lasts as she could doddle this field in relation to her formlines

I like 3 today. Whatever happens

Fly Phillippa can apparently run. Personally I think she will be better over 400 further, but really looks good to me in this field. Maybe places for safety.

Oreo looks like a very nice sort. 1st timer I know. But in this field, other than the apparent good form of the odds on fav, what do you have left?

Mirage Drive will crack it again today with GL on board. So far there is no Striker in the race to fight the last 200m. Gets my e/w vote. Also swingers and exactas with Die Kat and Moneyball

I am going to ignore the poor last run by Money GRUBBER. Old campaigner, but solid form previously. To make amends today. Obviously Striker's mount is the one they have to beat.


Enjoy the races
