R1: Battle Hero. Will take a rising star to beat it.
R2: Hard Race to call. Quietly Fancy Welo, but actually anything could win here.
Eighth Army, First Of A Legend, All Right, Last Man Standing have all shown
enough to win a race like this. Each one though seems to be battling in one
or another way, so I will abstain from this race. I will be watching when they
switch to a qualified jockey on All Right in the future though.
R3: Akin to a lottery. Large Field, majority have no form over the distance, and a lot of really moderate horses here just making numbers in the race. Added Obstacles. Solar Flaire stands out from Read The News - of those that have some form at 2000m. Jemima could improve here, As for the rest there just isn't enough to go on. Punting here without form for 5/6th of the field is suicidal.
R4: Moorcroft Looks the form horse. If I decided to punt here I would cover my bets on Canny Royale - strange horse this, good runs every alternate race, whats with that? Strangely enough the only one that could upset Moorcroft as well. Moorcroft doesn't have the best of the draw, but neither the worst. Tattletale and Make em Pay could be in the placings.

OK, Let's have a go today

R1 Looks between 'Hit the Deck' & 'Battle Hero'
R2 Hunch for 'Murphy Himself'
R3 Very Hard race maybe Mac's 'Rambo Belle' E/W?
R4 Head says 'Moorcroft' - Heart says 'Fuzzy Cuzzy'
R5 'Emir' an improver - But Mac's runners are the dangers
R6 Snuggler - Lucky's a big E/W chance
R7 Bet of the Day 'Galaxy Glory' could be a very good one!
R8 Next Best 'Coastal Trade'
R9 Big hunch for 'Pillow Talk' - 'Inquest' close by

Overall, I like an Emir, Galaxy Glory & Coastal Trade 3 x Dbl's and a treble.

Ouzo guys - Jim.

All three your sources were wrong!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

great call whoisu

Looking ok today, more pressing matters prevented me from finishing my selections for today.......

Jamster you on form, bud.
Hope you went with the heart !

nice one cuckoo..swings and roundabouts

Alimony could make it two in a row. Joshua the Bold and Cruising the blues present sufficient threat to keep me out of the race. Must respect Mirage of stars with Strydom up, and Golden Paul - outside chance.

Haven't had a chance to study the form so sucking thumbs here!
