PA has run well this distance in the past and is particularly well in at the weights.

Castlethorpe's last win with this jockey and likes the course.

King of Torts can sneak a place with a nice draw over favourable c & d.

Ottimo to place ? And just maybe a small win at 11 / 1

open race...anything can happen here...

2 many trainers using races as preps, why not let the public know than punters accusing them of being cheats. There shld be some sort of communication earlier instead of 3 minutes before a race, at least them people cannie make accusations?

Greg,most punters know its happening and it is perhaps understandable.........but it brings into question the NHA rule about racing "on merit"
It seems that the rule has to enforced or deleted..........surely just ignoring it is not an option!
(before all the sling offs ,remember I didn't make the rule ...............I just know it's there!...... )

there was a certain ride in the clairwood gold challenge whereby if that horse was ridden on merit then my it will snow in cape town in summer(td)

i understand punte was preping for bigger things but only heard ottimo was preping 3 minutes before the race, was a good run nevertheless, one to note for the race he will be "trying" to win on july day...

agree

62.3.1 The TRAINER of a HORSE shall ensure that such HORSE does not run in an
inconsistent manner (also referred to as "reversal of form" or "in and out running").
Where inconsistent running has or may have occurred, an investigation into such
matter may be held in terms of the RULES (giving a horse a Prep is just that)

62.1 Every HORSE shall be run and shall be allowed to run to the best of its ability and on
its merits (how can it be on Merit if it is only 70% fit)
