Will add in the pa...

Thoughts on what appears a very tough card (can't believe how short some runners have been priced up :S)

R2: Flight of Eagles the obvious one and we have read abt Tempered Steel - imo both priced up too short - lots of lurkers including Royal Trooper (has been suffering from breathing problems, but may have had treatment in the almost 5 months since his last run - Brown takes the ride and has found some betting support, so some 'intent' here (morning Loops -); Opening Salvo may prefer sprinting; Banjo Bay tries the sand after a long rest for a stable that knows how to bring them back, and the list goes on - if the top two runs out of the PA, it already pays....

R3: Admittedly a weakish looking bunch, but 11/10 about a filly (Lady Kensington) that has not been on the sand and still has to find the first 3 in three starts, looks much too short to me; also the 2nd choice in the market Secret Spirit finished 9 lengths behind on her debut over this trip - behind the very moderate African Blaze (has been scratched) - so again if these two go missing the PA gathers real momentum; for me I'm looking at including Zaganos and Cerise Silk (pity about the draws) and Dancingminnalouche, who has nice draw at least and could take to the sand.

R4: Competitive fillies and mares handicap; Rivulet prefers further, but has the draw and should be running on into a place at least; Waley's Camp has a chance if one draws a line through that last start and holds Rivulet on her pinultimate run; Shattered Image may now prefer this trip, but does seem held by Top Talent on their last meeting and Jolly Wood has consistent form on both surfaces and looks a must inclusion in the PA

R5: Very tough race to call; cases can be made for most of the runners - if I have to narrow it down, I'd go for Speed Keeper (best this trip), New York (runs for Gavin), Funny Glory (much improved recently) and Danesco (Fradd rides for an in-form stable)

R6: Another tough one; again if forced to narrow it down, I'd go for Commisioner Street and Dennis the Menace (not much between them on
their last runs over the trip) Lost Island (may take to the sand and has a nice draw) and Sermon (runs for Striker)

R7: This does look slightly easier; Men and Mountains has found form since racing in blinkers and should go close imo; Where's My Chop should run on into a place, and for a roughie I like Weekend Special (shows lots of pace) from Beautiful Dawn who looks best over 1000

R8: Palace Town is on a roll on the sand and looks the right one again; Fast Day gets the 4kg allowance - he will most likely try to go gun to tape and could hold on for place.

Enjoy (tu)

Tempered steel. Magica Roma. Palace Town. All fancied good place ATC

Yes as said before a very tough card and if you can catch an exotic today it should pay handsomely. I cannot find a PA banker, Palace Town was the closest but I hate going out in the last leg so took cover there aswell. I have thrown in some big outsiders hoping to catch a result or two. My PA works out to R1728 so will be playing a %:
Leg 1: 1,5,16
Leg 2: 3,11
Leg 3: 5,7,11
Leg 4: 2,3,5,9
Leg 5: 1,4,10,11
Leg 6: 4,5,11
Leg 7: 1,4

Play Well. (tu)
