Durbanville 1 July

Evening All

Posting some info. Hope to hear from someone who is also into Cape Racing. I have been givin a couple of horses for tommorow. Maybe someone can shine some light.....

Race 4: Cape to Cuba - Very Strong?
My Studing tells me Summer Ex PTP!
Race 7: Tafaani - Good Bet.
Race 8: degas Dancer - Good Place.

This is not my info, need to find out if yet again Ill be paying for someones merc??

PTP, not an expert in Cape racing (some would say any racing), but got to agree with you on Summer Exposure being the one in Race 4.
Tafaani holding form and never been unplaced at Durbanville and i dont think she'll spoil that record today. Western Winter's half-sister, Kapen Cat gets my vote though.
Degas Dancer took 13 runs to crack his maiden and in an 8-horse field, cant get excited about even if he runs a place.
I have 2 runners today if you interested, Da Vinci's Legacy in the 6th and The King Again in the 9th.
Da Vinci is a talented individual whose racing career has been interrupted by a hoof problem but by all accounts is over all that. Distance suited but unfortunately
badly drawn (15/16) which makes it difficult to say the least. Despite that i believe he'll run a big race.
The King Again has taken his time to mature but slowly getting there. Would have preferred a slightly shorter journey but hopefully he can crack his maiden today in not the strongest field with respect.

Thanks Cuckoo.

Will definitely take that into account when I post my PA later!

Stunning day in CT today, sun just about rising at the minute.

Till later!

Sounds good, Yeldah.
Will take a PA today for a change based on your input and the odd personal choice.

Off to take care of my health and compare notes later.
If you keen to race at Turfontein, July Day, join us, we have a table.
Ouzo, mate.

The Durbanville Gymkana track is always hard to get right, will they all go the standside again or race as per normal. if they keep going to the standside in search of that narrow strip of HOLY GRAIL good going i am sure we in for upsets again.

anyway here is a PA that i will be taking and hoping for :

4 6 13 x 5 x 3 x 1 4 6 15 x 1 6 7 x 1 4 x 2 4

i also fancy Kruyer in the 2nd to run well , num 5.

play well.

R1 Speedy Tibbs
R2 Hip Hop Queen
R3 Personal Memoirs

Hey Sis

On exposed form Summer Exposure (pun intended) should be a 1/3 shot.... 15/10 too generous, especially for the Cape Bookies.

Fancy a bit of Mar del Plata in the 2nd
