Scottsville Wednesday 6th July

5/1 looks reasonable Dubliner, ran against the blind school the last time but another stride and she wins

race 4 pippin improved a lot with blinkers on last time this course and distance and had a jhb maiden with nice form next to it ..nice top 4 place value with small win..race 8 deep down rebel reverts back down the straight after racing on poly and having two shocking draws over 6 furlongs...blinkers on and runs off a rating of 9 pounds less than her last run over this course and dist which was a plate race plus capable appy takes 4kg of her back ..14 to 1 also nice top 4 value small win bet.keep an eye on 9th race the well bred unraced geste as he came into the race at the last minute with kom naidoo scratching a no hoper ..

Fav went down like a mental case

I see Hondo running here was worth 225 k when they tried to sell on here, eBay, green tree

Rock of Africa to prefer this d

Weigh out a jock and make him run 400m before picking him up? will he weigh in correctly?

Yet again Bob & it's allways the 1 I'm on at the minute. Though favourites no guarantees to win races the South African ones are to hard to judge. Grrr. I think half these bookies & jockeys must read the forum see where the money's going. I was hoping for a better tun here never mind. I think I'll do what some of the others do stick to the English & USA racing.

Happens in all countries, runners run their races before the start, in this case Marcus done a great job gettimg him to calm down after originally behaving like a loon

Looks like I have to wait the whole day for some action.

I like Banner Hill in race 7, he enjoyed this course and distance lto and toyed with a not-so-bad field. he only got seven pounds for that effort which I consider to be very kind for this progressive 3yo. 3/1 isn't much but still a decent enough price.

In race 8 Sky Fire is my kind of a horse. she's still very much unexposed in this low-class handicap where everything else seems to have peaked. In the three runs to date she showed enough promise to 'come right' when conditions are right. 16/1 is worth waiting for.

Going with Delpach

The fact that there was such a long delay probably helped this horse as well. Looked a lot more relaxed as it went into the gates. Not a hard luck story, just found a few better than him on the day.

Race 5 French Lass and Race 6 Millas Smile eachway...
