Yes.

Also got betting support 6/1 into 7/2 bettingworld.

Still some 5/1 available with other bookies

But you never know with the those first timwes.

Also owned by the trainer so could just be testing the waters... To get decent feedback from Sherman

Rain affected??? So does that mean winning from the front orbehind today?Can some of the Sand experts help me on this?
@Shrek....very well bred that 1st timer and should run a cracker in that race...iI guess lol
Check 1st 2 races I guess...than we can see if conditions will favour a horse like AHLAAM today...or more like ETERNITY...

Race 6 # 13 On This Rock. Won his only run at the Course well. Then followed that up with two good runs at Flaming Park when you consider the likes of Black Pepper ran behind him in both runs. These were both over the 1000m so don't see the minimum trip being a problem for him. He has then run some excellent races in Borrowdale earing him a Turf rating of 86. He is consistent never running out of the first 5 in his 15 runs and carry's only 53,5kgs. IMO if he had stayed here he would be running of a much higher rating that a 67 and I make him very very hard to beat today. The 6/1 a win and 14,4/10 a place look superb value.

I agree with this as I thought exact same thing,didn't go in as deep as you thou...2 dangers are COSMIC TOM and ROUGH JUSTICE...maybe swings,ex

Rain affected. So will probably be moved to Turf.

Hope not

Does anyone give the thumbs up for the Lerena double Jay Boy & Nero?

Would throw in Qawaasem aswell but big weight for a 3y.o to carry. Even though it took to the sand like a champ last time?

Striker not riding...

shrek - I agree with your post 150%, If he's well and ready I can't see any reason why he shouldn't win by a street!

I like the 1st timer in race 2, i think 6/1 is great value. Hoping for a good run and a good start to the days proceedings.

Race 4 : JAY BOY

Race 5 : NERO

Race 6 : ON THIS ROCK (Double with runner in race 2 some 50/1, decent price at those odds)

Race 8 : QAWAASEM

I've been told/instructed to take the LERENA ATC Race 4, Race 5 and Race 8. The last time I blew it off, I walked away without a 33/1 ATC, today however I won't be making the same mistake again definitely worth a few bob!

Good luck fellas! to all those with runners I wish you all the best.

If the meeting is moved to TURF, I will not be striking a bet today. No confirmation of such at the moment but weather looks pretty miserable.

Has anyone got any definitive news?

For what it's worth... according to some, GEMS A PLENTY apparently the right one here.

Nero boys be careful of the companion, on the work roman ridge will eat it... risk is first time at this track
