Computaform(online version anyway) missing the "at a glance" fields which were the subject of complaint .
Amazing how there is absolutely no quality control of the operators "official" programme!

Well done to anyone that got some of the 16/10 on Brazuca at hollywood

Not that clear cut imho. Suyoof can upset

1st timer race one been well supported

Liked Roxy Heart in the race from a decent draw

Seven League Boots

Very interesting betting going on - Brazuca was unlucky and got checked when running 2nd in a Group1 ...........but whoever is backing the Dekock runner must know that too!!
What are the chances of 2 potential classic candidates being in the same maiden?
Must say (as on Sun at Pmb) I'd rather go with the proven!!!

I agree with you on preferring Brazuca.
2 stars in the same maiden is not that uncommon, but usually we only know with hindsight. Princess Victoria and Trinity House debuted together, and finished 1/2 in that race as well as most of the CT and KZN fillies features at distances up to 1600m over the next two seasons.

Very interesting card. Trainer to watch is JJ van Vuuren who has some nice runners.
Race 2 Brazuca now cramped odds, but if reproducing it's last run very hard to beat.
Race3. Seal my Fate could give Van Vuuren yard a quick double. Some nicely bred first timers to contend with. Soul of Spain and A Woman's Will fair form. I will be watching Brown Beauty debut with interest.
Race 4. Van Vuuren has another contender Seven League Boots, but I fancy Scheme of things. I'm keen to see how Elusive Elegance goes here- he was a smashing yearling and showed a good action at the breeze up when re-sold at the RTR.
Race 6. Sapsan is the form horse although returning from a short break. Rio Filo returns from a long break, but was impressive on debut and looks classy. Tricky race with so many returning from winter breaks.
Race 7. Isabelle looks progressive and is clearly racing fit.
Race 9. Little Genie got 8 lb penalty last time but could still be ahead of the handicapper and score a hat trick

In fact 2 first timers are being supported; I'm probably a bit biased but I really fancy Gap Year's daughter Ntoma - sentiments aside, she ran a fair first race (had 2 subsequent winners behind her) and could be good enough to take on the 2 supported first timers - 5/1 looks very tempting

Others at longer prices that I fancy, include Monarch Air in the 3rd (fair 2nd start when running in front of subsequent winner Vanda) and Sweet Painted Lady in the 9th - has to take on Little Genie, but SPL is fast, so looks a decent place bet at the odds imo

For the rest (apart from Brazuca) it looks very competitive with nothing really standing out

Enjoy

David Nieuwenhuizen 1st timer dam has thrown 2 stayers from 3 runners so maybe not the horse to go lumping in sprints
