Vaal Thursday

this may or may not be relevant but looking at some old notes Green Crest had a better time than Arpad and that ran well

First winner was explosive !!

Rose Of Soweto
African Rhumba
Doubly Attractive

Thoughts....

R2: Looks a weak field bar the 2 favorites - on a line through Comtessa Antonia, both hold Rose of Soweto easily - will be very surprised if the favorites do no fill the exacta

R3: Competitive fillies and mares handicap - perhaps some value in Parisienne Chic

R4: Air Force Legend has to fall over to lose this

R5: I think Brookie will go close - could be looking for the trip and will probably be allowed to settle mid field with no blinkers today; main danger imo Gentleman Only who tries further still; obvious chances to both Talbec and Commodore Al, while Taegan's Jet can upset at best

R6: First of four tough handicaps - Elevenses obvious chance again with Tora Tora, Ilitshe and Patic probably the main dangers - Victorious Royal and Umthtetho upset material

R7: Woodruff coupling obvious contenders, but I'm going field in the P6

R8: I think Cool Fantasy the right one - will be up there from a nice draw and should go close; Navette and Cosmo Russe probably the main dangers, while AP Chanel tries blinkers - MR has dropped a lot, so can upset if she recaptures earlier form with the blinkers

R9: Best value imo is Beautiful Shay - gets the cheek pieces again and has often been thereabouts this trip

Enjoy

Doubly Attractive...places

My play for today...Red Ridge / Air force legend / Talbec / Trip to troy...happy punting

Rose Of Soweto should earn here... SEAL MY FATE... up 2pts from last win... still scope at this mark... has excelled when run over her correct trip... could go in again

More hopeful than expectant.

Ew lucky15

Brookie 12/1
Patric 8/1
Rain Shadow 12/1
Beautiful Shay 16/1

Best value bet for today is in race 4 Discoverer, this horse was suppose to win last time out but lost valuable ground. Ryan Munger has stuck with this horse and will be able to get him in the box seat.

P sands/ Air force/gentleman only 50/1

Race 5: TAEGAN'S JET, drawn pole position and ran to some fairly useful sorts. E/W

Race 9: SHE'S A FLIRT
