Card looks quite easy today
Karino
Flower Season
Invidia
30/1

R1) 1 Stormy Weathers e/w

R8) 3 Golden Tune e/w

Putting R8 - GOLDEN TUNE in my P6 for sure...... but NOT a BANKER !

In fact got NO banker on the card in my P6.

Race 1

Cedric Jonker

No 1 Stormy Weathers is coming off an improved run and I am expecting a good run and she will be in the places.

Robbie Sage

No 2 Varnica: It is a bit short for her but I am expecting to get involved with the finish.

Corne Spies.

No 3 Sapphire Rock: I was expecting a good run from her when she got scratched at the start last time. We did not find anything wrong with her. She is working well so she must have a chance.

No 7 Elusive Breeze is probably going to still be a bit green.

Ashley Fortune

No 10 Itunesyou will need the experience.

Mike Azzie

No 11 Karino is a nice filly, could run a decent race, will be a bit green.



Race 2

Stephen Lerena

No 1 Flaming Opal should need the run.

Robbie Sage.

No 4 Super Duper should be involved with the finish.

Corne Spies

No 15 Some Adventure: It is hard to make your debut this distance so I am expecting to be a bit green.



Race 3

Scott Kenny

No 8 Hidden Agenda is consistent and is fit and well. He should be competitive again.

Gerald Walker

No 11 Crimson Gold ran a poor race but it was after his vaccinations so I am expecting a better run from him. His work was good until today.

Corne Spies

Both my runners, No 12 Conquari and No 13 Bouncing Tigger have a tough task at the weights but I will not be surprised if they earn some money.



Race 4

Gerald Walker

No 10 Picatrix ran a poor race after her vaccinations and I am expecting a better run. She has been working. She is bred for 2400m-2800m so she should have no problem with this distance.

Heather Adamson

No 11 Countess Trenton ran a nice race last time out. Her work has been nice and she is looking good.



Race 5

Robbie Sage

No 9 No More Words is trying 1800m and if she stays she can place.



Race 6

Fabian Habib

No 1 Scoop: His work has been exceptional. He has a strong Eachway chance in a competitive field.

Corne Spies

Of my 6 runners carded my preference is for No 6 Singforafa.

No 11 True Charm and No 12 Imperial Duchess are both coming off nice wins over the weekend and are not out of it.

No 10 Snow Palace returns from a break and will probably find it a bit short but might place.



Race 7

Grant Maroun

No 2 Queens Jet: I am looking for an improved run.

No 9 Chloes Mambo needs to improve.

Tobie Spies

No 7 Pretty Jolly: It has been 364 days since she last won. It would be nice if she won again but I am not too confident with her.



Race 8

Brett Warren

No 7 Elliptical has a chance.

Cedric Jonker

No 8 Silver Hub is in a very strong race but he might place.

Karino very short price.
prefer Flurecent over the azzie horse in race 2
hidden agenda holding form
Hearts Saint wings in race 4
circle of Latitude
Spies has half teh field . some nice three year olds stepping out.

A very tough card bar the first 2 races:

R1: Dogs are obviously barking about the first timer; as per usual I'm going each-way on apprentice Dicken - Stormy Weather - well drawn, nice price

R2: Looks to be an Azzie double; Flower Season won't find an easier opportunity; Flaming Opal, Super Duper and Fluorescent to fight out 2nd

R3: And now the trouble starts; Nordic Rebel has the best draw of the fancied runners, so my first choice, but not many without a chance; I'm going each-way again on apprentice Dicken - Full of Attitude sure has to find his earlier from some day nad has pole position to help today

R4: Hear Stwings and Animal Lover stand out; again I think apprentice Dicken has a place chance with The Bee's Knees (blinkers on, so may improve); Countess Trenton seems well in; many others can pop up

R5: Not getting any easier; with the allowance, I think Rabia the Rebel will stretch them out and may hold on; but again not too many that look to have no chance

R6: Grad Plate, complicated by many returning from rests; Singforafa has found all the support, but stable mates not to be ignored imo, especially the classy Snow Palace (is Murray taking the ride for next time?); Scoop rumored to be working well and should make them run; Crown Guardian the value imo

R7: Got to take a stand somewhere; Rosalina imo has a lot going for her and in a weak field should take some catching; Hear the Trumpet off form, but may place at these weights

R8: Fire to the Rein now has the best draw, and not the worst choice as a banker; if that gets beat, I believe it is very open being a handicap; Mighty Storm from a nice draw place chance at the weights imo

Enjoy

MAJESTY RHEA (WIN)

Blinkers on

Drawn 1

Last race never showed

Penultimate run over C/D finished in 6th place 7.50lengths off the winner in a stretched out field (win time 70.41)

Most of the runners have moderate form...but drawn wide

Footstepsintherain drawn wide and dropped in on debut. Drawn better today and sure to improve with the experience.

BAT ORCHID OR WINTERWIND

(E/W ON BOTH)

Their last runs over the TFI 1600m
Was won by Christmas Flower...that field was stretched out/the pace was way off as the front runner went fast upfront

Stephen Lerena

No 1 Flaming Opal should need the run


Must be a champion when it can run like that needing the run :dry:
