Vaal Thursday

Tough looking card with 5 Maiden races and 4 low-level handicaps - not easy

R2: Scratching of Ramada should leave the way open for Naizak with Palace Assembly a danger; Western Oasis finding some betting support, but according to stable comment 'will need further' - so who knows Hoping for my mate Elvis that The Gambler puts up a nice debut

R3: Open contest imo; Queen Rachel has been knocking on the door, so has an obvious chance - but runs against the colts; Golden Lion definite contender on his last run if not needing it too much; Hartleyfour also knocking on the door and must be considered; Dickens tries blinkers so improvement possible, and there seems to be some money around for the first timer The Ice War

R4: Two stand out a bit imo; Favourite Model and Pink both show potential and should fight this out; plenty of others looking to take advantage if they fail - Petite Aime, Regal Girl, Esemess and Little Sparrow head the list with Now You See Me to show further improvement after a fair debut over 1160m on Saturday

R5: I think Torio Lake has a lot going for him here and is a deserving favorite; Judd's Rocket is finding betting support, but for me has some moderate form before his last run, which may flatter him a bit,; others with chances imo are the consistent Sovereign Reign, Roman Flight and Volcanic Rock (dropping in the ratings but probably better over further); roughie Gold Dawn upset possibilities on her run behind Rose in Bloom

R6: This looks a 3 horse contest; Nuntius Oratorion has the come-on look and sure to be right there again, but Cardiff Castle and Mutrib also look ready to win. Wonderous Climber also improving but looks held at the weights; big roughie Gentleman Only is steadily dropping in the ratings and gets an allowance on top of that, so upset material imo

R7: Competitive sprint over 1100; Seventh Rule threatening to win, so obvious chance with Alex the Great, who has also been knocking on the door loudly when taking on this class; Pius Oil was sow to start last time and is a big threat imo if he jumps on terms today, while the booking of Striker on Seventh Son catches my eye as well - not too many seem without hope though

R8: I fancy the improving Western Dance to run a big race here; she should hold Elusive Butterfly at the weights; Long Pond also capable imo and rates a danger to WD; Wine Festival only got two points for her last win, but along with Wings of Light and Until Dawn may have something to find against the younger fillies

R9: Only four runner find themselves in single figures, and although I can't really split them I think they are the main contenders

Trying to put a P6 together is tough as always - I'll take the coward's way out and suggest the following as a 'skeleton'

5,6
3
1,5,8
4,7,11
9,11
1,5,10,11

Enjoy

I think I saw somewhere in the SP a "9A" and a "9B". Might be a New System they are considering instead of "Couplings".

Cool thanks for selections
