turf sunday

race1 - Anna capri looks the right one courtney leigh looks value gimme a wish could improve.

race - 2 vars vicky ran a cracker 1st time out and to me will be hard to beat i heard for kwite a trip but will have to beat a good horse

race 3 - if the time is now had a good draw id be putting my wallet down but not much to beat in this field with a good jock and a stable in form im sure 4-1 is still amazing value..i think that waltzing al from a 1 draw will skip few clear and can improve in a very average field

race 4 - quite a tricky race here my upset of the day comes in the race and worth a place bet at 25 - 1 saving grace ran a good 3rd to sultanah in a biggish field and to me that is not a bad formline to follow 1 2 3 4 12 in p6

race 5 - betting suggests its a 2 horse race i dont know about that i made it pretty wide open as to almost a field race..

race 6 - Barak to me is the banker on the day only top rank could come close

race 7 - promise looks the horse to beat here that last race behind fullmast the form of that race is really working out well pool party at this course and distance is a big runner in a trappy race

race 8 - a 1400m 80 hcp a very weak won to say the least to me the prospector is the improver in the and should be in the top 3. lone survivor has gone from running in a 103mr to an 80 in 7 runs and for me looks the value in the race.. enrique had 1 run at the course and cruised in and could pop up

to me this card looks a mix bag full of tricks

With all these " New kids" on the block doing video previews, let`s not forget the original "Auld kid"

even though he used to call me grumpy Brogan!

nice card with a few decent bets on offer

ANNA CAPRI ran behind a nice horse but was only slightly fancied, so could be exposed here, so add a few for bipot just to be safe. see money coming for a spies horse and could be place value MILAN'S PRINCESS

VARS VICKY was very quick on debut and can only win today you cant help but respect money for the dawson runner,Smuts, could surprise first time out and surely be in the placings. You also cannot ignore a trippi first timer in KWITE A TRIP but Vars a worthy favorite and agreed, should take a power of a beating

Not and easy start to the P6 and all of DUKE OF GOLD/THE TIME IS NOW/FAST DRAW/EL ROMIACHI/PETERSHAM and BRAVO ONE could win it

LADY AMHERST/TWICE THE ACT/MYNAGE - preference for MYNAGE

EXPRESSFROMTHEUS banker for me...me thinks that this is a good animal

AFRAAD beat BARAK before and i fancy will do so again...TOP RANK a danger to both

Tough seventh race and can make a case for a few...POOL PARTY even though seven years not without a chance in this field....PROMISE could be difficult to peg back with Striker in the irons and low mass...FLORIDA QUAYS will be right there at the finish

If you still standing in the P6 , you will want to be well covered in the last...BASSAM and VAR AGLOW obvious selections but rather include a few more to avoid disappointment

enjoy

2) 1 Phinda Mzala e/w
4) 2 Saphire Rock e/w

Hi Guys,

14h00 The Time Is Now 9/2 Has a tongue tie fitted got the 3 yr old allowance and is improving

14h30 Twice The Act 7/2 Ran to open company as juvenile first run and fin 5th, then improved over c/d to run 3rd. Expecting a good run with striker strydom on board.

15h05 Bien Venue 15/1 ROUGHIE FOR THE DAY. Better than last run and expect him to be right there as he dropped 3 pounds in ratings since last 3 runs. Good place bet at least but expect him to be right there.

16h05 Risk Taker 7/2 Expecting her to improve further here and dropped in ratings 11 pounds. Circle Of Latitude 25/1 should be in the placings on his run to this field so is value.

16h35 Var Aglow 9/2 NAP BET. She beat Smoke last start and is 2.5kg better with that rival and make this no race. Putins Promise should beat Bassam on the weights on their last run together. Exacta is Var Aglow/Putins Promise

Cheers
