I've worked through this card with caution after a big train smash on Kenilworth. But Cowboys don't cry, you have to try again. If I'm hammered it makes me even more determined.
Here are my findings:
Race 1 :Gypsy al is my first choice. He only had one run on the sandtrack and did okay. This 1600m on the sand will be more to his liking.
Race 2 : Electric Elektra is my first choice. Although no sand form his breeding suggest that he will do well on the sand.Khumalo takes the ride from an inform stable and will result into a positive outcome. Quilicious had an brillIant run on the sand first time out and only weakend on the latter part of the race after trying frontrunning tactics.He was also supported from 25/2 to 3/1 that suggested that this horse was destined to win that day. This is the two horses that I like. There are a few others to include in the trifectas and quartets. For your eyes only , Copper gaia and Running sensation.
Race 3: Papa Joe looks the right one here. As his last and only run on the sand look promising. There are a few others that also can't be discarded.Global talk with R Fradd on board a big thread. This individual runned against fair sorts in the past and is doing well over this c/d 5 places out of 7 runs. Flight of eales and Sheppard song both in with a shout. Siamese fighter got scope for improvement.
Race 4: A Field with horses that got not so good form. A Strugling bunch!! Caution is advised!!! I like Mighty Mo as she runned 2 places of 3 outings on this track. Runned against fair sorts as well. Soukous got Striker up and this could make a big difference. Also 2 places of 3 outings on this track. Sin latago from the Spies yard must be treaten with respect as this could run away and win.Rainbow Arrow and Glitz and Glamour could sneak places.
Race 5: Magic' Magic look really hard to oppose in the first leg of the Jackpot. Had runned in B-div against much stronger than this. Runned only once on this surface and runned a place. He takes on much weaker this time and make a bold bid . However my gut feeling is telling me not to discard Double bind from the Naidoo yard as he also runned against much stronger in the past. Wishfull heart with Striker up can win a race like this as this horse runned a nice post maiden race on this track got beaten under a length and got scope for improvement. Striker rides for Louis and this combination always a indication of an inform horse.
Race 6: Snappy lad is my choice but got no sand form. Last run was in a feature and best to be ignored. Striker knows this horse well and won't take this ride for nothing. There are other horses that makes appeal as well and must be included in the reckoning.Muthiah Pillai runned against above-average Henry Higgins and lost by only 2 lenths on the. Sand track. C/d expert.Kings Jet, Tippuana jet and Nads pride have chances as al three of them do have a liking to the Vaal sand track. This is defnitely not a banker leg.
Race 7: Trip tease won well his first outing on the sand with 8.25 lenghts. This time Striker aboard Louis horse and win that outing in a very fast time. This horse look promising and look if there's more wins in the tank. I always like the speedy Maji Moto and will pick up the pieces if Trip Tease fluff his lines. Streetbouncer also looks promising but has no sand form and can be anything. Trip tease for me, and will be hard to beat. If Striker got infront of this field no-one will catch him. Expert in judging pace, the best we have in SA. Go Striker go!!!!!
Race 8 : Carry on Captain look the right one here if he take a liking to this surface( first time on sand) He bring useful form out of Natal and could be too strong. Taakamul obsiously got breating problems but runs well lately and got the inform Robbie Fradd onboard, he could win. I've got a soft spot for Senator and although he got in and out form is always a danger. Jolly Good Sir and Savanah Montana not out of it.
Race 9: It have taken me a long time to get to one of the best bets on the card. LEVANTO!!!!! He's got excellent sand form and will prove hard to beat. Chedwin park are better of in the weights in this incounter but Levanto's class will pull him through. Divine invatation and King Scott can fill the minor placings.
Best bets on the card for me:
Race 2:Electric Elektra
Race 5: Magic's Magic
Race 7: Trip Tease
Race 9 : Levanto
Value bets:
Race 4 : Sin Latigo
Race 5 : Double bind
Race 8: Senator
Good luck to every one and hit them hard!!!!!
