1st 2 in the Victory Moon meet again this year

JUDICAL and EARL OF DERBY

EOD has to be massive value at 16/1

Beaten 3/4L at levels from a poor draw last year and hasnt run a bad race since now carries 7kg less than Judical

USO SAT

I think Earl of Derby needs it soft - and that's unlikely to happen; at the odds I fancy the chances of the old warrior Heavy Metal - MR has dropped big time and Mr Tarry is sure to have him spot on after being slightly miffed at HM missing out on the Charity Mile and the draw does not hurt either - I have a few rand on him for the Summer Cup - of course he would need to win tomorrow to have a chance of making the final field; And I know the Victory Moon is not a handicap, just trying to make the point that should HM win tomorrow, he should get into the Summer Cup off a very handy weight :ohmy:

The other one who is on the cuff of making the Summer Cup field and would be a big runner imo should he get in, is Deo Juvente, so I expect a big run from him tomorrow as well - I think he prefers the standside track, but would need some help from his inexperienced rider in overcoming a tricky draw

Does anyone know anything about this Pedroza guy - I really fancy Matsuri in the last, but have a question mark about the jock?

Hearing it's starting drizzle , hopefully this is the much needed rain

Not everyday that you get good prices on PS - I like a few of his
Seize The Throne
LUALA - Won a similar race almost exactly a year ago - The German rider was all at sea and despite this she prevailed- Include in everything.
If AS YOU LIKE recaptures form he will win with only 53 to carry. Do not leave him out and perhaps a 4 place bet is on.

Did anything come of the rain ? Or was it just a drop or two ?

Not sure about Joh'burg, but here in Midrand only a few drops - is cloudy though, so rain not impossible - apparently the chances for rain here on the Highveld improves from Monday onwards

Thick clouds over the track with a 56% chance of rain

One thing for sure and that is the internationals won't be calling for an abandonment if it rains :lol:

Lol, well said CnC

This Laird 1st timer will have to be a once in a lifetime special, almost freakish horse loaded with ability to beat what IMO is an absolute penalty for MUTAKAYYEF, this horse ran 2nd to SUYOOF on debut who subsequently ran 2nd behind BRAZUCA.
