...Eagle Alley over 40 horses behind on debut win - seems a decent horse
...Shukra comes from the very very strong Eighth Lord Dr Doolittle Fire Flower formline - First run back from covid rest 4 lengths behind rated 73 then 10 lengths now down to 68... bad field so a tarry horse with Lyle on at 3-1 a place i'll have every day - place
- Attentive over 30 behind him lbh last time -
No 99 - Both INDLAMU and BOLD JAZZ followed maidens with handicap wins and BJ won a 3yr old handicap against rated horses - INDLAMU wacked elders from draw11at turffs so I think 99 might just be better than rated as he's a slow starter for that stable as a 4yr old so nice rating of 72 to play with - ew - if not today very soon against similar

as an aside - for decades many on this site have pointed out the OBVIOUS SUMMER RAINS yet the flourishing Phumelela continues to have late starts at the Vaal - Greyville yesterday 12PM start - the genius factor starts us off at ten past one with 40 mins between race 1 and 2 - are they mad ?
