Vaal Thursday

5 - 6, 12, 15 in my bipot but not confident

R7 Goldust woman 11/1 e/ way

R8 - Refuge

Obviously a big price but think this one worth a small wager, given he's been absolutely tanking through his races recently and got no luck in-running last time out. He wasn't far behind market principles Lee's Pick, Crazy Vision and Yer-Maan then and has been falling in the weights himself too. Big field and a decent pace will help his chance due to travelling through his races so well and the drop in trip from the 2000m last time will suit too. Didn't run badly in penultimate outing in a much stronger race and significant jockey uplift (in my view) with J V'd Merwe taking the ride.

Walter Smoothie to upset the favourite

I discounted Short and Sweet in Race 3 on the basis of the stables performance 0% strike rate. After the horse ran 2nd at 22/1 i won't be discounting this stable on a qualified runner again. Obviously with a limited string - but managed to get the horse tuned to potential. As time goes on, I am sure this stable will do nicely if getting some decent horses.

Was a nice win by my day's choice - Decision Time, at substantially better odds than I imagined.

And - congratulations to all concerned with the Airtaxi win --- well done!

Adams I await your summer cup preview

Get very little time these days, and it's hard work -- but I was just browsing through the field and couldn't help but notice that Jet Master has sired 3 of the last four summer cup winners - two where very closely related if not siblings if I am correct. Master Sabina and Master Switch represent Jet Master this year

de Kock - 9 time winner of the summer cup and a genius with fillies --- got to respect that piece of history too.
