CAIRON (WIN)
10/1
Most of the favorite runners Drawn wide,Cairon will move into gate 5
The dam won on debut,but was over the 1200m
She won 5 races in total over the 1200m and placed 3rd over the 1450m which she only ran 1 time,and was never a preferred distance

Re: The Vaal Thursday

Lucky Houdalakis
No 4 Seraphina: I am trying Blinkers
Blinkers and tongue tie on
This horses runs over the 1400m & 1600m (poor efforts, no show)
BUT THEIR IS FORM OVER THE 1200M
Debut run Vaal 1200m
Finished 4th 10lengths off the winner
Vac 1200
Draw 7-12
Finished in 5th place this time but 3.25lengths off the winner
Comment (Pace-lacked finish)
Although not finishing in the placing in her penultimate run,she showed 6.75lengths improve over the distance at her second attempt
Drops to minimum trip today,equipment change and -4kg claim comments say she shows pace
E/W chance
One for the eachway extra sparta!!

nb best not to play tomorrow
calling Frodo and chicken n chips for help tomorrow sorry lads not much help
I'm afraid Frodo not much help today - looks hard to me as well .... 6 tough Handicaps and 3 Maiden Plates where there are many first timers ....
R1: Guessing game - I'm not that confident on May Queen - beat Nordic Queen a length on debut and ND then ran 6 lengths off them in her next start - first timers probably hold the key, Allmyloving and Seraphina could provide place value
R2: Tokolosh imo has the best form, but that 1 draw is not an advantage; so again the first timers should fight it out
R3: Fire to the Rein has a lot going for him here; Our Man in Havana main danger and if Striker can get him in 'striking' distance from a wide draw, he may trouble the favorite; Stormy Winter is finding a lot of support in the market, so from pole position can't be ignored - I make it between those 3
R4: Competitive - Archilles I agree could be the value from a nice draw, but has not found the winner's enclosure for 491 days, so place chance again imo; Category Four will run at them again from behind, but I do prefer Irrevocable Dream over him; next best imo Royal City from the stable mates Melchizedek and Western Oasis
R5: Not as easy as it would first appear imo; Kapama has found form, but not too much between her and Kirconnel Lass (hasn't won for 693 days :ohmy: ); Ufo may be worth another chance and the stable expressed confidence; big roughie imo It Takes Two - off form since her Maiden Win, but the form lines of those runs in Maiden company looks strong (was beaten only 0.5 lengths by Florida Quays at level weights, while Kapama got beat 2 lengths by FQ RECEIVING 11 kgs :ohmy: ) - tries blinkers and could be the surprise package
R6: Typical handicap - I think maybe Hot August can strike in September - but a possible FIELD race imo
R7: Another handicap where quite a few need consideration; Finchatton imo best this distance and can follow up; Ragoon may be the stable choice, but Defy Gravity is consistently running into the money and with Silver Spectrum and I Am Batman can't be ignored
R8: Jacko Boy in form and with Jive Express and Always Red (blinker strike) look the main ones, but Litttlewood (on indirect form to Corrido) could make them all run
R9: Many with chances again; I'm including Woodland's Forest who has a big advantage at the weights with French Leave and Village Deep on the run behind Zeal and Zest
Enjoy
