Durbanville Saturday, 30/03

R1), Kamadeva with a 3.0kg pull at the weights with Minnesota Dream should win this.

R2), Ibra looks to be the likely improver if overcoming the breathing issues.

If the going is still on top, (R3), Bwana could again prove difficult to peg back over the minimum trip.

R4), if allowed to set the pace, Princess Penelope could be the one they all have to beat.

R5), very open contest, if repeating his last effort from a wide draw, then Pink Floyd is a massive runner here.

R6, Apollo Ace, purely on the draw.

Domeyer to ride the last double, (R7) Run Red x (R8) Crome Yellow.

Mixing and matching some of the local fancies with (R2), Muntazah and (R4), Blue Point, at Meydan.

Nice card away from the glamour of Turffies and Dubai.

These for me

Lumiere 3/1
Elusive Trader 5/2
Bitter Lemon 3/1
Pink Floyd 7/2
Crome Yellow 18/10

Durbanville - Race 1 12:50
(5) Kamadeva - 1.05 (W)

Durbanville - Race 5 15:00
(12) Six Degrees - 10 (W)

Durbanville - Race 6 15:40
(4) Apollo Ace - 3.3 (W)

Race 1 Kamadeva looks the right one after a good debut, but Mister Vargas and Tutorial not far off him

Tutorial to start off the day.

Maruading I like but....

B Crawford in the 5th strong

Race 2: Ibra now scratched which opens the door for Lumiere. Cyber Blossom will go close, and Scottish Ally will cone on from fair debut.
Race 3: Bwana has done little wrong, but I’m not so sure that this course and trip is best, so I will play to beat him. Vincente will get a nice lead from Singfonico and can pull this off. Elusive Trader is a class sort but this may be a little sharp and must carry a big weight. African Victory is very lightly raced, but has a good strike rate and if not needing this could be a factor.
Race 4 Princess Penelope has been a bit disappointing but I think she can get it right today. Bitter Lemon, Alfred’s Girl and Petite Bijou look next best. The lightly raced Silver Beauty and Scarlett Chill could improve for quartets.
Race 5 We have Gold Pact running today. He is bred for this trip, and if he behaves is a big runner from a good draw. Stable companion Six Degrees is improving and should be in the shakeup, although he has a few lengths to make up against favourite Pink Floyd which showed good improvement last time. Pega D’Oro a wide draw but has fair form. Kursk could be anything after a fair debut. Cradle of Gratitude is well tried, but gets the WFA advantage as an older horse.
Race 6 Gimmetherain is well in here and is my first choice in a very open race. Green Jacket had no luck last time and should go close. Red Rascal won well last time and must be respected but a wide draw. Apollo Ace and Jardin are improving 3yos that are not out of it.
Race 7 Run Red and Grand Silvano should fight this out.
Race 8 Chrome Yellow took a while to crack his maiden, but has now won 3 of his last 4 runs, and looks leniently treated getting only 6 points for those three victories. However, this is quite an open race and many with chances. Paddy Kruyer has two live runners in Mega Secret and Brandenburg. Destin and All in Line have ability.

Princess Penelope despite the drift

Niiice two 3/1 winners thus far with Bitter lemon and Lumiere. Well done cheyne and Sands

KURSK (WIN)

Pink Floyd for me.
