How is the weather?

got this from abc Scotia weather.yahoo.com/south-africa/gauteng/vereeniging-1588588/

U can't trust the forecast....lol was waiting for someone to put their head out the window, it's miserable in Pretoria

The Duke best on the card for me and Benbow in the 7th value around 12's imo...

I agree with the Duke Greg, the fund sucker AEGIS FANG can go in but not at 11-10, XILOMANTE , and CAPE WINTER are big runners

According to TABGOLD, 20mm of rain in the last 24 hours - have they improved the drainage, because previously racing was called off after less than 5mm?

If they do race, I suggest watch the first few races to check the state of the going and if they are winning from the front, or coming from behind.

Unfortunately for me Laurel Canyon is out with a snotty nose and swollen hind legs - so I would tread carefully where her stable mates are concerned - that being said Howhighcanufly looks the right one who should win if all is well, while Azwa provides good backup in the P6 - being by Muhtafal should enjoy the sand - Silverside from an in-form stable a definite inclusion imo.

Competitive racing - I have been off form (to say the least) but maybe today Vestal Virgin could turn that around - should be just about at her peak in her 3rd run after a rest and I think she is better than her current rating of 80 - nicely drawn as well.

Follow the Piper goes for 5 in a row on this surface - still well in here, but depending on how the track is running could be hard pressed to hold off Sayadaw - Ryan's a Lion also not without a shout, but maybe the fact that Gavin is on Sayadaw could mean that S is the better one today.

Play well

The only reason for Kavanagh to run today is becuse he needs a gallop imo...

Aegis Fang has never looked a battler,now having to battle kickback as well (td)
