R3 Rakeena's Classic

R5 Cool Caper/Aphrodites secret
R6 Port of york
R7 Starcase
R8 Always a winner

Best of luck to all you guy's tomorrow,unfortunately some of us have to work.Can't wait for turfontein night racing,Newmarket was my fav. venue simply because you could follow the racing race by race,and be more informed.I'm sure some of the clan members are well "connected",maybe they could help speed up
turf.night racing.

R1 : Needs to Settle form (Bopa's Girl, Fakazi, and Motivation)
R2 : Poor Race: Watch the market around Power Shock & Spice of Life. (Manchild & Classic Puzzle) If the newcomers don't do it then Land of The Tzars, Flying bandit, Sharp Sharp and even jack sparrow would have to contend against manchild, of these I would be giving Land Of the Tzars the edge.
R3 : Camp Commander
R4 : Given Ravens poor form, Dukes Doll should beat her again - unless she suddenly awakens.
R5 : Very little between Lincoln Echo and Greet The Day, with Greet The Day getting the better of the draw. (Lady Caesour dangerous if keeping up this form - defying the handicapper here, Aprhodites Secret in with a shout)
R6 : Good Samaritan & Gun Powder & Grit again showed last time out that there is nothing between them. American Emblem is ultra consistent and may improve. Also watch Redwater.
R7 : Race is filled with Obstacles. Mr One Eyed Jack is the one to beat and he could be beaten. Kwane came right back to form, but then lost the plot last time out, I have learn't not to write off horses Purely on age - especially if recent form is displayed, so Pride 'n Joy get's a shout, Best News Ever was a promising one off sprints early on, yet was persisted with over a range of middle distances, and came to nothing, so it's interesting that the New Stable has entered him here.
R8 : One for Al is a likely contender. Watch Celtic Dream, and Watch the market around badabingbadaboom , as well as Jaldera.

Looks like the best potential plays are Camp Commander and Dukes Doll (too short), and getting on early if there is any support for badabingbadaboom.

Early fancies :

Race 1, Fakazi (if she stays) and Bopa's Girl look to fight it out. Hoping for improvement from Paris Secret.
Race 2, Cadiz Bay
Race 3, Camp Commander
Race 4, Duke's Doll should win this but if thers;s to be an upset, Raven and Snow Charm.
Race 5, Greet the Day, roughie Aphrodite's Secret.
Race 6, American Emblem
Race 7, Pride 'n Joy
Race 8, One for Al.

Ouzo !

My fancies:.

1. Motivation
2. Golden cup
3 Camp commander
4. Snow Charm

Fakazi looks like the winner - but not for me at those odds

bopas girl running on well last 2 runs, my pick to win

merlene de lago formline no strong all.

- if in doub't leave it out, horse racing isn't coming to an end any time soon

fakazi has been battling to train past the 1000m , maybe this time will be right.

Bopa's girl has progressed well at the 1400m but fakazi still seems to have more potential.

definitely not one to play.

I will be going with fakazi - for the interest, small bet............

Spice of life betting is not indicative of a De Kock certainty, perhaps in with a chance. Classic Puzzle sure to improve, and I would be interested in Flying Bandit


But no punting

what a form reversal - golden hawk and golden cup 14 lengths - wow

Good Call on Golden Cup Krishy hope you played it
