Turffontein Thursday 11/10/2018

Well another meeting on the inside track. I like:

R1: JET JOHNSON (places). Heavily backed on debut and shows pace
R5: EARTH SKY. Hopefully Striker can bring it home today
R10: WRAP IT UP. Has dropped down in the ratings from a 76 to a 53

In Race 2 there is an odds-on favourite. Beware of the Tarry 1st timers

Dbl tomorrow. Monopolize and Kissable

Sea Venture / Aeronautical / Perfect Order (hoping the blinkers and LH onboard do the trick)

Rocky Valley looks like really good value. onto Redberry Lane

Red invader likes 2600 good value/swinger with jagesa jagesa

vega fox float with a bunch of the other runners

Ven TUR RC 4 P6 1,6,7/1,2,9/1,2,6,8/2-4,8/1,2,4-6/1,4,6

Wow. There is really something special about Nico's voice. It just gives you this amazing feeling when he starts talking... Man how I love this

Quite a few puzzles to try and solve - but still looks a lot easier than the card on Saturday ....

R2: Obviously Monopolize - Chipofftheoldblock gets blinkers and could be the danger

R3: Rosario made a promising debut recently and with normal improvement from a good draw rates the on to beat imo; Sea Venture has found betting support, but this may be too sharp for the daughter of Dynasty out of a Sportsworld mare Seneca Falls needs to improve imo, so I make Kelly's Angel
(fair last run and has a nice draw today) the biggest danger to Rosario

R4: Plenty of money for Fire Side - last run was against much stronger (Sea Venture was also in that race ) but did finish more than 10 lengths back, so I'm not convinced; Miss Patriot improved nicely last time, but needs to overcome a wide draw; none of the others really jump out at me, so it could be a case of the favorite or the field in the P6

R5: Earth Sky and The Bosbok stand out here imo; Jagesa Jagesa may improve further over this trip; Red Invader was in a very weak field last time, so further improvement needed imo

R6: Challenging handicap; Myoshi looks overdue to win, but on the ratings have New Zealand and Gift for the Gap to beat; I think those 3 will fight it out

R7: Another tough little handicap; not a lot between the five runners in the betting; as a roughie I'm also including Battle Creek, who I think is going to set the pace from a good draw and could prove hard to catch

R8: Smallish field where Kissable will also most likely go play 'catch me if you can'; Frederico's Dream the main danger imo, but if the two fillies go too fast, it could open the door for Rockey Valley or Rebel's Champ to run them down

R9: Redberry Lane the standout on form and should prove hard to beat at these weights; Green Top drifted like a barge in the betting since yesterday, but has found some support again - imo she will be better over more ground; the two 3 yr old fillies Mazari and Running Brave both look decent, and either could take advantage should RL not be at the top of her game

Enjoy

Looks tricky but hopefully we can get some money back so here it goes my play for the day

Race 2 -chip-chipofftheoldblok to give the fav a go

Race 3-seneca falls from furla

Race 4-miss patriot win

Race 5-earth skyy and jagesa jagesa

Race 7-pillaroftheearth from galactic warrior

Race 8-Rocky valley win

Race 9-redberry lane should win it but i like mazari and I like it

Good luck all

Lerena will have this title sewn up by Christmas if he keeps up this strike rate

This Peruvian jock looks like he is about to fall off the horse.
Definitely not as balanced as Willy was.
And of all jockeys Simons gets the better of him in a finish.
