Vaal Saand Tuesday

My PA for today:

1 x 1.5 x 4 x 1.6.8.9 x 1.4.5.6 x 2 x 2.8.9.10 = R128.

All the best Clanners (tu)

Todays p/a 1 2 5x 7 x 3 4 7 x 2 6 10 x 4 5 x 1 4 9 x 2 7 R324

Treble
Water Music
Safe House
Solarium

23/1

Oh Shite..I have done this bet already.
Safe House not so good .has the favourite to beat. But Solarium should win.

Ole Ole ew,10/1 looks tempting

Rather late than never - especially for Shrek

R1: Water Musuc the right one on form, but I'm worried abt the 1200 - maybe eachway on Radiant Wisdom from pole position (and the stable is hot)
R2: Can't figure out why the blinkers stay on Inn on the Square; Tzigane first time on the sand, so anythin possible; not much between Festive Interlude and Ceris Silk on form; my PA numbers are 1,2,3
R3:Formation looks head and shoulders above these with the apprentice allowance - hard to beat imo; Magic Smoke better on the sand, but a poor run on Saturday on the turf - maybe 2nd best and a backup in the PA for those that think Formation has gone 'over the top'
R4: Tap Tap really won so easy and must be fancied to follow up; only slight concern is that respiratory noise; New York imo may be better over 1600, but should be 2nd best and is so consistent that I will use hom as backup in the PA; Henry Higgins easily held by Tap Tap on their last meeting; Silver Specialist better this trip and has a place chance imo - break a leg, Elvis (tu). Safe House may take to the sand, so could be considered for larger P6 perms, but has a big weight for a 3yr old imo
R5: Uncle Tommy really comes ine well here with the allowance and a good draw to boot, and imo Mr Tobin will have to be at the top of his game to beat him; Empenoso Henn and Eastern Cobbler next best imo.
R6: Open looking handicap; Hangfire dropped his jock at the start last time and not much between him and Polar Moon on their last meeting; the Erasmus and Naidoo couplings must be included on P6's imo; not sure how ready Boss Cat is after a longish rest, but can also feature if not needing the run
R7: I think La Volta is a super filly on the sand; the question is how she would compare to Solarium; LV ran a comparitive 5.32 lengths (thanks Formgrids) behind Solarium last time, but was carrying 6.5 kg's more - maybe worth around 4 lengths over 1000? - so on that S must be very hard to beat, seeing that LV finished 6 lengths in frornt of Kinematic Countess (at level weights) last time out. Perhaps Miss Cantona takes to the sand and could surprise, together with Ikati (who runs on strongly so it should be in her favor if the front runners stop on a heavier track)
R8: For me Mesmerising Melody ran better than her rating last time, so must be in with a real shout here; Weekend Special also improved on the sand and looks good value (for place at least); Meet Me Halfway tries the sand and comes off a fair turf run behind Fire Wheel, so can feature if she takes to the sand; same comment applies to Variety; imo the betting wrong with regard to Aljawhara - I don't make her a 79 on the sand and also imo the 1200 could be a touch in the sharp side (preparing face for egg)

Enjoy (tu)

RADIANT WISDOM is a decent place bet - draw, distance, course and stable are all positive - 94/100 a bet

Looks like small exotics today, but any meeting leading up to the Met Saturday is bound to throw up surprises with carry overs for the weekend's feeding frenzy.
