Good morning all as the Hollywood Durban July weekend has eventually arrived and it's sure to be massive, finding the winners being our next challenge.
The only concern is TC02 testing that could spoil the day and the NHRA appear to be trying to get the proverbial monkey off their shoulder.
Molly and I met on Tuesday in Kyalami for a long awaited catch up. Unfortunately he still has a few health issues but his latest drink is Monkey Shoulder and after sampling it I can confidently say it's rather easy to drink and very smooth🥃 😉
Mind you, at our peak, even Stroh rum was easy to drink...🧉
There is abundance of information on the site with many experts having their say with some great previews, but as we know, not everyone can be spot on, so you are left with your own call and stuck with that Monkey on your own Shoulder.
There are plenty of big exotics and competitions on offer, be sure to test your skills on our R100 July competition with good cash prizes up to the value of around R10k.
I suggest you play your exotics via the tote.
Also remember the Hollywood challenge with the "bet" option.
Be sure to get your bets on early and let's hope the NHRA machine get's stuck in traffic. 🙈🙉🙊
My thoughts are less informative than most but I remain a fan of Green With Envy with See It Again being the danger, but for many this could be a "field" race.
We need bankers for the pick 6 and possibilities are Gimmies Countess and Double Gran Slam.
The banker of the day is in the UK where City of Troy can continue the O'brien/Moore juggernaut by winning the Coral Eclipse from Sandown.
I suggested taking the 7/10 antepost but with the scratching of White Birch you will be lucky to get 4/10 in a small field and to my mind this is always a concern. Perhaps wait for the ARC?
The super consistent El Romiachi runs on Friday for George and Zietsman and we can only hope for a pre July incentive as per last year.
The Euros has had some great games with enevatbilty a few boring ones.
England remain favourites but their performance has been less than inspiring. The Swiss are on the way and can make life difficult for them.
Spain vs Germany should be a cracker and the vibe on Friday night at the pub should be electric when Portugal 🇵🇹 play France.
After the event we can only look back over our shoulders to establish where we went wrong, or hopefully look forward to booking a nice holiday in the future.
Good Punting 👍
