Sure there has been loads of rain earlier in the week?

R8 I am not sure about the market for this one, there are plenty newcomers to PE who have run in better standard races and must have a chance here. Unfortunately, I looked at the race a little late and the 12s had gone but, my preference of the newcomers, and I still think 8s is some e/w value, is Turnstone. Makes his debut for the Shams who were in form on Wednesday. Won an MR78 over this d and 3rd in an MR95 over 1450 in Joburg before a year's break. Considering the rest, his two come back runs in Ken over this d were fair efforts, last two were over further, especially as I think the whole Kannemeyer yard was going through a pretty lean spell at the time. MR has come down quite markedly and rapidly. Plenty other options but Turnstone for me.

Englander... The 8th is only a MR64 so anything is possible, however Turnstone over 1200 metres .. not for me.
I am hearing that Tom will be too Strong in that race ( not my money though). The Captains Cat hasn't done anything wrong either.

Others I am doing tomorrow, with Turnstone, in doubles or trebles n up... though it is competitive stuff as usual so no surprise if a blank, primarily just going to talk about the ones I like to keep it brief, you'll be relieved to hear

R2 If you got 4/1 on Kanara, well done. I'm envious!!! lol but would not do at the current price
R3 Ars Poetica, turf form?? Sailintotheclouds has the draw to overcome but has been thereabouts recently in, imo, stronger fields than this looks. Representing an inform stable and jockey, should go close.
R4 Was intending to risk Unbroken until I saw the price. Might win but given the prices I'll side with Rebel road who seems to have improved of late and hopefully won't have a problem with the extra 200. Dance And Destroy may be next best but Sham comments on their two PE debutants should be noted and the Bremner pairing also have possibilities.
R5 Bride's Dowry has plenty negative weight swings but keeps running well, I'm going to hope that continues here. Milynne possible e/w value and Rushing Elf respected.
R6 Imperial Velvet looks the value option to me in a race where a case can be made for plenty. Think IV will get the additional 200 and a repeat of his penultimate run should hopefully see him in the mix from a good draw.
R7 Jockey bookings perhaps say otherwise but assuming fit and very well then I think the West Is Wide can get the better of stablemate Unannounced. For me, his Ken form is good enough to win this from the 1 box, Mesmerise could also "surprise" the favourite.

Be(s)t of luck to all

Either could win Deeno but I think the market is too lop-sided. I am not sure how anyone can be so confident about TS being too strong, his starts are enough to make me nervous! If he gets away on terms then... but, if he doesn't, what then? And I really don't think they have beaten much, but that may just be "yet". For me, I would rather look for e/w value elsewhere.

Englander... i appreciate your comments wrt the above
