The Vaal Tuesday 18/3/14

Very competitive racing - some thoughts:

R3: Most of the fancied runners drawn towards the outside, which may be a problem, if so I'd include Steyn Remover - at least she had a run last week and could strip fitter than most - although not sure how much of an effect fitness has over 1000m

R4: Many with chances - Tzigane is suited to this trip, but hasn't had a recent run, so at the odds I like a bit of Fanzene, and if you like Fanzene, a roughie to consider is It'sgottobeme - Weekend Special has done nothing wrong over this trip, but hasn't had a recent run, so not sure how much work she had

R5: Not too keen on The Money Shot - but not many jump out at me here - Takushi could feature, but has not gone well for young Marwing once before, for a real rough shot, I like a bit of Bunnybell - MR has come down and if fit enough, could make these gallop from a nice draw

R6: Enchanted Guest, Carlisie, Commodore Al and Vino Nero look the principles - slight preference for Enchanted Guest who has had a recent run

R7: Some very nice horses contesting this Grad Plate; obviously Brooks-Club the right one at the weights and he comes off a good run on Saturday - however that's a bit close to today for me and also he has put in a poor performance over this trip previously; many waiting to pick up the pieces should BC fail; Supertube has done really well since trying blinkers, but I'm not convinced about the stable right now, stable mate Everest ran below expectations on Saturday, so who knows; Umgiyo has come down a lot in the ratings and is another who could feature; best value for me comes in the form of Savage Wind - gets the 'allys' today and not badly in at the weights - also Master Rivas not to be ignored and so I can go on....

R8: Fillies and mares handicap - if the outside draw is not a problem, I think Walking on the Moon should be right there, however many others to be considered

R9: Another competitive fillies and mares handicap - not a lot between Divano and Dalalaat, but Dalalaat has the advantage of a recent run; Touch the Sky won her maiden rather well and does not take on the strongest of fields here, so should feature again; Striker sticks with Casha so not to be ignored and the roughie for me is Ikimasu whose MR has come plummeting down and gets another 1.5 kg's allowance courtesy of the very capable Craig Zackey.

R10: Yet another fillies and mares handicap where there's not a lot between Fortitude and Five Moons and both should be right there; the roughie for me here is Luala - MR has come down, and she is back to the sort of trip which saw her running some good races this time last year.

R11: Obviously Cervantes the stand out - if fit enough after the rains, the draw the only possible problem; if he does not get a clear run up the narrowed straight, I think both Woodstock Express (last run to bad to be true imo) or Tiger Would could take advantage - for me Like a Boss may need another run.

Enjoy (tu)

Like a boss my best bet for da day

Hi Everyone,

Looking at the ratings vs. the odds an extremely tough day is envisioned for the exotics and if anyone catches them it will probably be us

Have a great day,
