Not had time to have a good look but...

R1 Big respect for the money on Smith's debutant, Veale rode The Beat lto which must have given him and therefore the stable a fair comparison before the money went down. Interesting jockey bookings with the Shams, watch out for Seattle Saint despite the draw.
R2 Combattimento
R3 Paddock's is a punting stable I believe and given that Liquification must be given a fair chance then I would not be surprised if the money was spot on. Double with Smith's in the 1st and treble with Combat in the 2nd. Not something I would normally do but the omens just seem to feel right today lol (which probably means avoid avoid avoid lol)
R4 Think the plan with Shake n Bake went a little wrong lto as came much too late. Over a shorter trip will it be the same or were there traffic problems? But, watch out for any agent activity and people talking about some young lady called Shazza The Smith runner Sunset Girl not to be overlooked at big odds, very poor draws last two and Bryonybywater also worth a look, interesting with the big drop in d. As with all races today, plenty others in with chances.
R5 Plenty to think about in this one. Principled is Laing's only runner of the day. Money For Love makes debut for the Snaith's having gone over from the Smith yard who themselves have two big runners in Shine Like A Star (return to form with a very decent 3rd on the Greyville Poly lto, beat FF twice early in career before form dip) and Frederick Fox (blinkers off after two probably disappointing efforts with them). Too many options to be confident but I hope MFL wins with Principled possibly the biggest danger.
R6 Sparkling Saphir to hold off Call Of the Hunt. National Forest to add value to trifectas etc.
R7 Gogetthesheriff but possibly a lot more competitive than the market suggests
R8 From a much better draw I give Red Silvano a decent chance of following up, Current Event to be thereabouts and Maximo possible value. Irish Blessing also in with a shout in another very open race.

Be(s)t of luck to all

R1 lol ing big time!

U wuzz outhunked E.... :blink:

Paddock race 2 & 3 Fire!!!

Would not surprise me in the least Maestro but not really hurt and I enjoyed the laugh

Was that the gamble that won the first?

Combattimento...better distance suited than Political Playboy....

lol Bob... no, the gamble faded like lightning

The Beat, who was under Veale lto, won easy

2/1 PP IS a fair price and imo value
