Durbanville, 12/10

This looks extremely difficult. The first two races, hard to see an older horse win it, flip side, the three year olds are relatively unexposed, so a horse "not in the betting" could pop up and change the mood early in the day.

Having said that, R6, Elusive Trader, must be a massive runner. On it's last run to Pacific Trader, he does look to have Bwana held at the weights and on the draws.

The value bet for me is R5, Canukeepitsecret. The exposed form is not flash, however on the ratings and with the apprentice allowance, she could run them all down. She is unbeaten at Durbanville. She is returning from a rest, which is a concern. Must admit, for me it will be a case of the horse winning or going missing - no finishing second or third.

It's all in the name.... follow the star

Don't leave Rock Trip out your play, very much alive.

Trying to get some early money on a difficult card (I am anyway:) ), see Lead Singer has shortened significantly in the first, opened 22/10, now trading at around 17/10. Taken the double with Queens Club in the second, despite last running back in April, bookies are not taking any chances with this one. If the double does arrive, it's quite conceivable Double Reward could start favourite in the third.
