Here is a surprise comment from Scotia

I would rather lay than play Rain In Holland 😉

It won't be my banker in the pick6 and neither will KOM 🤯

I too looked at the Rain in Holland race as I believe she is very high in the ratings looking at what she has beaten, but let's face it, she faces the same sort of opposition again and really looks unlikely to get beat - if you are looking to beat her, you need to consider the field - as imo anything can win if she doesn't

I was never in the Kommet camp last time, but looking at the way the connections have planned his races (not quite ready in the LQP but spot on for the MET), I do think he will be very hard to beat come Saturday - only Sparkling Water and Puerto Manzano may trouble him - but for me I'd even put a line through PM, the way that stable has been going in the week

In the Sprint, I do think the older horses have the edge, and Bohica at the odds looks good value - but it would not be a big surprise should the 3yr-olds prove good enough - in that case I'd even consider African Rain - Aldo rides and at that price a worthy inclusion imo

You will be fed up now I have access to photos

I was having second thoughts about Kommetdieding, but now the Magner yard are firing again, i'm more confident

Best Bets
Shoemaker race 1
Maharanee race 3
Kommetdieding race 7
Rain In Holland race 8
Nebraas race 9

I thought value for places
Race 10 Mini Coop 12/1
Race 1 no 7 National Star 13/2
Race 4 no 9 Miss Cool 15/2
Race 6 no 14 Big Burn 11/2
Race 7 no 6 Flying Carpet 30/1
Race 8 no 6 Perfect Witness 8/1

Have a great day.

I must say that this card is not as inspiring as previous years.

Only KOMMETDIEDING is the draw card,

RAIN IN HOLLAND is 2kg worse off with both SPRINKLES and PERFECT WITNESS. This will be her undoing as she has had a long hard season.

Flying Carpet 33-1 Moerse prys vir e/w

Interesting to see how the Zim horse runs in race 8
