Vaal 30 April

Morning punters. Is there any place where one can find out if they are racing down the inside or outside track today ?? feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I would suspect that it's the inside track because there are a couple of races around the turn, but I'm not entirely sure.

Looks a tricky card with five handicaps in the Pick 6, but I'll take the chance that Jet Tycoon can win again. He's jumping in class, but was impressive in a decent maiden field on debut and looks like a big, typical scopey Jet Master. Majestic Circle could have found a very winnable race in the fifth, especially now that Brian Wiid's yard is ticking over nicely again, and (love him or hate him) I have loads of time for Willie Uys as a rider.

It will surely take a very decent first timer to stop Winter's Night winning the first, but the rest of the card looks very tough. The third race could lie between Cantabro and El Kapitaine, but the former is coming off a break and might want more ground while the latter always finds at least one to beat him. A surprise would not come as a big surprise, if you get my meaning.

What do you guys think about the tracks - my personal view is that the outside rail is best on both tracks and it seems the jocks alternate at will - the centre seems dead - I really like GREAT NEWS today but he seems to have a mind problem and another that may now start to shape is STAMPING GROUND who has dropped like a lead balloon in the MR since dec - 1200m could be his trip and Felix might help to keep him on the outside rail- I agree with Mathew on the Wiid yard and perhaps PRESS NORTH could earn as Brian seldom pushes them on debut

I agree with Magic's assessment of Jet Tycoon, and also agree that Majestic Circle is a definite inclusion in the 5th.

Just in case Cantabro is looking for more ground, I am going to include the Maroun coupling in the 3rd (I see El Kapitaine is out), as Royal Title ran on nicely last time and may improve over the trip, and the juvenile stable mate did not have the worst debut behind Exhiliration.

Guarding Harry seems the obvious one in the 4th, but always seem to find one to beat him - so load up.

i think the 6th is very open, but in the last I am only going with Eragon and the Binda coupling.

Good racing

I reckon Jet Tycoon too short in the betting. I really like the look of Forest of Dreams in that race... and would rather take the fixed place price on this one than 6/10 a win on the Jet. In the 4th race Joey Soma has a very interesting runner in Dal Piero.... I took some of the 11/1 which was on offer, altho on form that should be more like 33/1 ..... Johhny G renews acquaintances with this one and in a substandard field , 2nd run after a rest... I give it a squeak.

PA: 3/6/2/9/11/3/2

Russeldeewee..... the 2nd last leg of the P/A only has 8 horses ....

Interesting selection (Forest of Dreams), ismikle, however for me he needs more ground nowadays (I know 3 of his 5 wins was over the 1200). If one can trust the times in the Computaform and compare the weights, I believe Jet Tycoon is the right one.

Seeing russeldewee is giving a straight line PA, I will have a go as well:

6x6x2x9x9x7x3

Please note Majestic Circle in R5 now a scratching....

Darn, that means deductions on Mohican !!!! when it wins ....

thanks
