Any first timer comments? I see a few rand on Drier in the first.

Delpech was riding in the UK yesterday. If he returns from an overnight flight to ride today then you know that he has some good rides for today. Leave him out at your peril.

Cannot believe the price now...but should win cosily though you got to be weary of newcomers

No seconds for Pomona in the last.Arctic Swift will run a good race

Just a brief input on some of the races.

Race 1. strong info that Via Sacra can run. Rippling Music is well related and I expect a forward run
Race 2. very interesting race between the van Zyl runners and the Howells runner.
It's going to be a ding dong battle between Calabash and Silent Obsession. I am hoping that Silent Obsession will outrun Calabash to the line'
Race 5. Lots of talk for both Silas Bullet and Kimberley Star. My preference is for Kimberley.
Race 6. Spring Breeze the justifiable favourite and watch for late money for Pearl Glow.
My money is naturally on Mind Your Business.

The input so far most welcome, since historically it's not easy to pick the winner of these R1000000 races.

For the boys - obviously cannot overlook BROADWAY TRIP b.c 3y 2014, SILVA'S BULLET b.c 3y 2014.. Kimberley Star very good at his centre, but I don't think the winner of this class of race, and Green Fields another nice one at his centre - I would rate them both at about MR78, Unless the top two from the other centre's aren't very representative of the best of those centre's have. Obviously there are many in this field that have not yet shown their best - and that's why a race like this is more for the entertainment value than wagering opportunity

For the girls, off the cufff I am a huge fan of EDITH'S ROSE b.f 3y 2014 If she can translate that scintillating polytrack run to this field, which she should have no problem doing - she's going to be very tough to beat A big danger should be from the very impressive ALRAUNE b.f 3y 2014 - who at this early stage looks to be one for the coming features. Banjo Buff gets a MR79 rating for me and could do ok. MIND YOUR BUSINESS b.f 3y 2014 cannot be left out of the equation - let's hope the rain doesn't come and spoil the parade.

Enjoy

No need to worry about rain.
a lovely day in Pmb

Via sacre x Silva's bullet

Captain At Sea: It's a pity he was eased late racing against Al Sahem, a true run there would have given us more information to go on here - because right now I am battling to seperate him from the challenge of Mark My Card and Icy Avalanche, other than the fact that he looks classy, and should rise to the occassion -- I am not about to throw the kitchen sink at it though.

Just Once More should definitely improve - I have eye's on Fashion Trend , taken some time to come into herself, but I think she is going to apply big pressure. I have noticed that often a good polytrack horse will do very well on turf as well. obviously not always the case. I am banking on Fashion Trend to see off the challenge of any decent sort that emerges from the pack - unless it's a future champion lurking somewhere in there.
