Vaal Sand Tuesday

horse of josiah (win) onto bullet proof (to place) onto rodeo dandy (place)

Sorry Frank, I would not get it done in time now and I have not yet finalised them... and will not until racetime. I have posted before but found I may change it before the off and then 'I' have feelings and concerns with authenticity and integrity. I usually dbl float from good priced horses from my top 4 rated with the others from the rest of my ratings and favourable draws.
2 'outrageous' inclusions today shall be Honour Score in the 3rd and Look for Light in the 4th, not as dbl floaters though.

Happy Horseplaying

Really sorry, posted under moonlight by mistake

You ''moonlighting'' Happy Horseplayer, Hibs may give a slap on the wrists....

Thanks for the analysis - my take is the following:

R3: Son of the Burg looks the right one - more due to lack of competition than anything else; for wider perms perhaps consider Camden Dancer (admittedly a filly running against the boys, but she does get a nice allowance and her stable is bang in form) and the stable companion to the favorite Surging Captain who is a winner this trip and also gets an allowance
R4: Delightful Diva obvious credentials, but I like the chances of Hotel Royale from a nice draw - and therefor one also need to consider El Chani who is much better off with Hotel Royale at the weights and did run OK last time in a graduation plate
R5: I expect improvement from Zara, winner this trip and I think she could trun the tables on both Kahal's Fantasy and Lullaby Waltz
R6: Pinnacle stakes where Miss Turbulence is going to take some catching imo - Worood obvious claims but I think she is at best over 1000, while Two Tone is also well in, but needs to show that he can handle the sand
R7: King's Destiny held at the weights by Turkey Shoot; Enza Plan always needs to be included on the sand, Nazran comes into the race with the allowance - hard to tell how good Leading the Field is - it lies between those imo
R8: I also like Lochlorien, but there does not seem to be too much between him and Parlotone who is due a change of luck imo - I think it is a squeak too far for Mahogany
R9: Minefield - Muscle Man has at least shown form on the sand and comes from the red-hot Paul Peter stable - but anything could upset here imo

Tentative PA numbers:

2,10,12

Greg I've got Flying Mo as a danger to the Son of the Burg horse - I think an MR of 56 is a little low for this horse -

Thanks Frodo.

my dbl for today is Silverside onto Parlatone.

Kitty with that form, I see it as a big task to even run in the placings, but 33/1 is gone and its now 6/1 and what do I know really :S

Win Treble

You may be on to something there, he did run a fair second to Enza Plan over 1200 - running as though he may enjoy today's trip - PA inclusion for those that don't trust Son of the Burg

Too late for me to change, took my pa already...R96 - 10%
