R3) Shining Day - he does have a lot against him winning, first time out the Juvenile ranks, first time this track, drawn the widest and returning from a rest. However the horses that finished 2nd to 7th behind him when breaking he's maiden, have all come out and won in "open company" since. So the form has stood up. From the draw which is a huge concern, the tactics will be interesting because Snaith has two fairly well drawn that are carrying postage stamps and they may set a blistering pace in the hope that one may stay on an win the race, conversely they could cut each others throats. Shining Day was very impressive when winning, so I'll take my chances with him.
R4) South Kensington - I feel this horse is finally bumping the right sort of field. Something interesting, SK has run in relatively similar MR races off a similar mark carrying more weight than tomorrow. The big worry is he has never run at Durbanville and he is returning from a rest. Again, the stable is in form, so I am expecting massive runs. Maybe place double at 15/10 is also the way to go, just in case my best laid plans come undone.
Good punting.
If I ever end up in your neck of the woods I will be sure to drop off a mead of your choice!
many thanks again
