6 handicaps and 3 maiden plates says it all - very tough races where the unexpected is bound to happen at least once... :ohmy:

R1: Not an easy start - September Bloom has had 3 fair runs and looks safest to consider as a floating banker; the Woodruff first timer Miss Turbo is finding betting support so can't be ignored; Claremorris should improve this trip but does not have the best of draws - Star of Caesour and Wind Chill capable of improvement as well

R2: All things considered, imo Holy Joe does look one of the better bets on the card - holds Flying Fool and the other dangers on form Duke of Edinburgh and Time to be Great both do not have the best of draws , both have had many chances and was beaten by a first timer that found not betting support last time; the well bred Shukushima could end up the main danger to Holy Joe

R3: MR 62 handicap - are we racing at Flamingo today :huh: My first impression was that Klondyke River prefers slightly shorter, but a look at his record shows that he has had 7 starts over the distance and he finished in the first four in five of those runs - so should be thereabouts again today. On a line through Fangia, Tiki Torch seems to hold stable mate Secret Lover, and both look like serious competitors again; some roughies to consider imo are Antonius Charm who has plummeted on the ratings and Savethelastdance who should hold Gentleman Jack at the weights

R4: Last of the maidens, where Prada Princess looks the main one; has been improving steadily and should win if she can see out the extra 200 today - Malala will probably come from far back again and may be left with too much to do; Doubly Attractive and Rubybay both look held by Prada Princess and Consequentially races in steels again so may need one more run

R5: Looks wide open to me; Shepherds Warning definitely prefers a longer straight and has only finished in the first 4 (2 seconds) on 4 tries out of 11 at this track; I prefer Trip to Rio who may be good enough to see off his stable mate Kingmambo's Legacy who can't be ignored; Pyramus has won twice at this track - does seem held by Shepherds Warning, but it may be a different story on this track; Frappachino in turn is held by Pyramus on their runs behind American Tiger, but has finished close up recently and comes from an in-form stable so can't be ignored

R6: Another wide open contest; Easy Lover imo has lots against him; I think he needs at least 1600 and is also not as effective at this track; Master's Spirit tries 1450 so who knows; for me the value must be Dakiwe who is ideally suited to this trip and imo is going to give you a good run for your money - he easily holds Front Rank on their last meeting, but it must be said that FR has improved and it could be close between the two; Forest Fox goes without blinkers and together with The Captains Tune and Shepard One cant' be totally ignored - and then we have Mister AMtchett who was deemed good enough to run in the Drill Hall - has dropped a bit in the ratings and could be the big surprise package

R7: 'Stuck record' comes to mind - this is not easy - not a lot between any of the form runners - any of Neuf de Pape, Noah's Ark, Gold Status, Streetwear, Just a Gigolo, Lokshina and Formal Request can pop up

R8: Wait for it - another open race - London will be a popular choice, but has had many chances and although could be the day, no surprise if she fluffs her lines again - any of the others could pop up, but I like Leila's Charger who looks very well in here when looking at her run behind Spider Flower - where she easily beat London and is much better off at the weights today

R9: Tricky close - safest PA runners probably Arpad and Urgent Fury - especially Arpad but for the draw would be my definite first choice. Dangers imo include stable mates Calico Quiver and Arabian Bay - while I think Charleston Hero has the most scope for improvement.

If I had the budget, this would be my P6:

8
1,3,4,7,8
1,2,4,5,6,7,8,10
1,2,3,4,5,6,8
1,3,4,5,6,7,8
1,2,4,7

Enjoy B)

Can't say I like either card much and the eyes weren't finding much in the way of idiots so a few short priced doubles, trebles, accies for me today... maestro I quite like your double but the draw is a bit of a concern in the last, Holy Joe x London my main double.

R1 Miss Turbo... only sibling is a full brother who has competed in Grade 1s, has the 1 box. Nibbled at 5s and done an opening race e/w double with Gimme Six at Ken.
R2 Holy Joe
R3 Klondike River
R6 Gold Status
R7 London
R8 Urgent Fury

Small patent... Gimme Six (K) x Petty Officer (K) x Gold Status (T)

Be(s)t of luck to all
