Vaal Tuesday

Workriders meeting

R3 look up form of Split The Bill and compare his times for 07/26 to Pink and then to Elusive Corral on 08/07

The Great Queen in the same race doesnt have the worst of for so she is an inclusion in all bets although her draw isn't too good

R4 Nice odds on Dynajet and Biscay Flyer not without a place chance

wow this is a becareful card but i dont play durbanville so ill take a bet hear and there and keep it cheap

Race1 - all at once is geeting some money again captain al over the 1000 not a fan but they have to start somewhere in is bred from varsfontein could have some wheels but im in the camp of SEE YOU TYGER defnitely the form horse in the race and is 3rd run after a rest...4 too beat 8

race 2 - open i liked Sugoi is on the improve a horse like Tigar is better at this course over shorter and these horses ar running low 59s in the sprints and will take something good to beat butim in the camp of NAIZAK this is extremely wrll bred and could be a one to watch for the future selections 8 - 5 - 6

race3 - elusive coral surely distance is a worry has been running in stronger though.. royal future has to many issues so i am leadimg toward the first timers race 3 and im in the camp of PAGAN SKY here i like that the azzies have shares in this horse and again extremely well bred for 2nd im going with pink im a bit skeptical of pink and at 12-10 is way to short again not sure why you would debit a horse at the v and then switch courses next run now bring it back to the vaal i think PAGAN SKY is a great 50000 buy and will win Selections 11 - 10 - 12

WE SEE how that goes amd take it from there

(4/1)

My fancies:

R3: PINK
R8: POPSICLE TOES

might change my selection to pink race 3 as it is around tge bend thank frodo

Some thoughts .... all maidens, so not too difficult ?

R1: Not much between Cosmic Mist, Fuyu and See You Tiger on the form behind Shezashingstar - work rider on CM much more experienced, but the filly herself has not been a model of consistency :huh: The Houdalakis stable is normally very good at the Vaal, so All At Once (supported in the market) could well be too good for the raced runners; another debutante Sail de Lago is reported to 'need the run' but the market and rider booking suggests otherwise , so also needs inclusion; to survive the first leg of the BP, I am including all those mentioned

R2: Open looking contest, no strong support for anything; Sugoi looks to have the best form in the race, but comes off quite a long break, so who knows; I think the wise thing would be to include all those in the betting in the BP and most of those in the PA

R3: I think Pink has the best form by far here and will go very close over this 1400 from a good draw; again the first timer from the Azzie yard has found some support (although said to need the run), and the Tarry first timer has also found some support in the market; of the raced runners only Elusive Coral and The Great Queen have some fair form, but imo Pink will be too good for them

R4: Both Dynajet and Pelican Bay have nice draws, so they should be fighting this one out, unless the de Kock first-timer is very good; Riga d'Ora tries blinkers, but those would have to bring marked improvement for him to challenge

R5: The debutant Duology does not have to be a star to win this; the rest really have some very moderate form; so either one trusts the betting and go with the favorite, or all of To the Regiment, Gaelebale, Connect, Tejada, Captain Hook and Playhouse Mouse need inclusion

R6: Durban Bourbon all the rage, but she is beatable imo; however there is no obvious danger
for me I am including everything bar Nor'west Arch and Golden Glow

R7: Irish Wonder Girl has a lot going for her imo; only possible danger could the 'bookmakers friend - aka Stormbourne Thunder; if they both fail, perhaps Matanuska or Eternal Summer can pick up the pieces

R8: Popsicle Toes fancied on debut, but did not set the track alight, worth another chance, but runners like Hear the Storm and Flatley could make him run; lots of market support for the de Kock trained Gold Griffin, so probably another who needs inclusion

Enjoy

hmm how can one say pink has the best form? 2 runs no wins no 2nds no 3rds call that form ..not in my eyes defnitely has a chance but not based on form
