You mean Di Maria. He was suspended.

Legends moon cash crop and grey area big runners 2day

Bizzy Peg was all at sea on debut and still managed to only run 3,25L off them, the 200m extra should also suit. If she learned from her debut she should reverse the form with AP Dancer. Be careful of Walkoflife or you could be in Dire Straits.

bizzy peg....is it money for nothing and your chicks for free?

R1 Plenty have something in the breeding to indicate they may go on the surface but none so much as I would pick it above the others. I'll side with Bizzy Peg as she has the advantage of having had a run and hope she gets away better this time, the support she received on debut and the booking of Khumalo were swaying factors. Market should also be monitored.

R2 One Sexy Lady has a chance but passed by me with a poor draw. Best Of Three similar. Vegas Lass showed huge improvement lto and must be considered on that, has a good draw in 3 but returns from 14 weeks off. Cash Crop has been consistent without setting the world alight and with the stable in hot form must enter calculations but does have almost 6l to find with VL on the run to On The Thames. Careless Whisper has the 1 box, appie taking weight off and ran creditably on sand debut at the Vaal, likely to be in contention. On breeding, chancing R1 e/w on Forty Winks with much more hope than conviction. What About Maria could be the right one here though, decent draw for in the form Prinsloo yard and has shown comparative ability elsewhere on different surfaces. Concern is obviously whether she takes to the sand.

R3 Prove A Point came back to form when running Niebelong to 0.75l lto and given that run came off a 30 week rest, if he proves fitter for that outing he must have a big chance of overturning the form. He won second run after a 14 week rest around this time last year. Niebelong has obvious chances again but no longer has the advantage of the 1 box though is still reasonably drawn in 5. Astro Boy and San Vincenzo can't be discounted as they were not too far off either, the former was also returning from a rest that day but SV now has a tougher draw to contend with. The consistent Overberry must enter equations and has the 1 box. At a big price, Kingsley might be worth R1 e/w, well beaten last two but with excuses and if I remember rightly Stef was saying he was her best runner not so many meetings back, possible (and it is only possible lol) that big improvement could be forthcoming. Blinkers are off, on 4th run after a 40 week break and a decent draw. Stablemate Sylviidae should, perhaps, also not be overlooked, lame last two and off for 47 weeks but had some comparatively decent form in PE. If fit and well and taking to the surface then from a good draw could win, clearly risky though.

Time getting short...

R4 There Is A Dream x Caribbean Bay x Black Pepper. Plenty potential for an upset, Taqdeer back to this d would be my small e/w choice as possibly the one most likely to do so but there are 3 or 4 others who I think could do so.

R5 For me Master Of Fate is a mammoth price here. Has been run over further of late without success but against better last two. His only success came over this distance and his last runs over 1400 and 1200 were creditable, beaten by King Olaf last time over this c/d and on a line through defeats to KO he was only 2.75l off the scratched joint favourite Zenith at similar weights. Cracks a good draw here and, albeit in my warped mind, a worthy R1 e/w nutter attempt. Not convinced about the blinkers but if connections think it will bring some improvement then... Whats The Turnover likely to be competitive and Taso The Sailor could be in the vicinity. Triple A the ? horse.

R6 Legend's Moon x Wolf's Girl x Alberts Gem
R7 Grey Area x Enchanting Lass x Sweet & Classy. (Elegant Bay??? surely not, but..!)
R8 Matteo x Imperani x Jack Friday. Beat The Odds a potentially value e/w.

R9 Rhumba Beat x Gracefilly x Queen Of Rock (RB full sister to multiple winner this grade/distance Atso Fields (won 4 of last 5), and half-sister to the very useful Grade 2 Vaal sand winner Meadow Magic (over further but also sand winner over 1200... concern is the fav coming from the same stable)

Some very open races. Could be worse bets than a patent on the in form Cason yard. A patent on RS's three mentioned above also has good possibilities imo and a bigger odds patent or bigger accie on some of the Human horses might also be profitable

Be(s)t of luck to all
