Kenilworth and Greyville - Saturday

I have Make My Grey running at Kenilworth today. Here is the trainer comment :

"All is well with Make My Grey. He is doing well at home but he still has to fill out a little bit and I if I were to be brutally honest, I am still not sure what his correct trip is. We have Glen Hatt up and hopefully he can give him a bit of a chance and we can see him finish. I still think he is a nice horse. Obviously, it is quite a strong race and I am expecting a decent showing but I am still a bit confused about his trip. Like you, I am hoping he is a 10 furlong horse and then we can have some proper fun with him."

All the best today Garrick.....

On the subject of USO, the stable mentioned that Play Nice has missed some work after a niggle in her last start - on paper she surely looks the right one, but if she is not 100%, there are a few in the race that could trouble her imo. I like a bit of Paddy o Reilly in the feature - that stable has got to turn the corner some time soon. And in the last, I think perhaps the Snaith runner could give the odds-on favorite something to think about.

If we race tonight at Greyville ....

Race 1 - Allocation I agree must be the one to beat but at 4/10 with the Roberts yard completely off form and Allocation going round the bend .... not for me!

Race 3 - Can't have Freedom either - Clearly Keen, Winehouse and Beaches can all give him a race.

Race 4 - My best bet on the card - 5/2 Chill very generous.

Race 7 - Miss Turbulence.

It's bright and sunny here in Durban....South Africa's Playground !!! Should be in for some awsome racing come today evening....althiugh, everyone know's that Durban is a city where all four seasons can happen in one day......BUT NOT TODAY !!!

Another Giant
Freedom
Earl of Surrey
Play Nice
Allocation

PLAY NICE GUYS

ANOTHER GIANT (AUS)
MACCHIATO

Looks like a nice boxed exacta bet.

I have Lundy's Quest running in the 2nd at Kenilworth today, here are my trainers comments:

"He is coming on nicely at home and has a good action. It is always difficult to assess our juveniles’ chances first time out as we never really try them at home and we also don’t know what they are up against"

One of those days with a big pick 6 carry forward where either all the favourites arrive or you get blown out in a big way very early. I think I will stick to the PA and have a small interest in the P6.

PA 1,2,4,16 X 3 X 4,5,7 X 7 X 2,4,8,11 X 6 X 6
JPOT 4,5,7 X 1,3,7,9,11,12,13,15 X 2,4,5,8,11 X 4,6
P6 1,3,4,5,9 X 4,5,7 X 1,3,7,9,11,12 X 2,4,8,11 X 4,6 X 6

Play Nice + Prizefighter in the 8th . Only fear is the jock on Play Nice , going against my gut and taking the dbl . Also having a e/w on Russian Sage in the 8th .

Kenilworth R8 Polar Bound
Kenilworth R9 Bad Winter

Greyville R5 Turbo Friday

Been following ALL COLOURS since her debut, up against some good fillies today in Greyville 7th but low weight and 3rd run after rest, could be a nice ew 20/1 shot.
