10/1 or more

2.45 Ffos Las - BRAWNY - Nicely bred newcomer at 10's.

5.50 Thirsk - GEOGRAPHY TEACHER - Not a lot in 4 starts to date and would have liked to see more last time out. Bred to be suited by 6f and finally going over this trip at 20's.

6.20 Thirsk - BUMBLEDOM - Stable does well with its juveniles and can get on ready at 10's.

7.20 Thirsk - MITCHUM - Fair soft ground performer and whilst above last winning mark, can still go well at 12's.

8.20 Worcester - CUL DE POULE at 40's

8.00 Kempton - RESHAAN at 10's

8.30 Kempton - HANDYTALK at 28's

Won, Going away at the end at 40's

Thursday 16th August

11.45 Vaal - RUFFIANA and BURUNDI - Workriders maiden, with an odds on in the field, so happy going with these 2 outsiders at 50's and 100's respectively.

12.20 Vaal - TAMEMETIGER - May prove a tough race for the grade, but does look a quite nicely bred newcomer at 66's.

8.05 Tramore - CONDUCT YOURSELF and FRAZELL EXPRESS at 22's and 40's respectively.

8.20 Leopardstown - WARNING LIGHT at 22's

4.35 Newbury - MUNAAJAT and ISABELLA RED at 12's and 50's respectively

8.20 Dundalk - TOUGH TIGRESS - Quite nicely bred, but it does look a tough race for a debutante. Currently available at 66's, but instead going 50/1 the 5 places.

1.30 Ripon - RITCHIE STAR - Looks a suitable trip for this one's debut at 50's.

3.15 Ripon - DARK POWER - Big field h'cap, so anything's possible, but this one looks capable at 20's off a nice weight.

4.40 Newbury - ZZORO - Disappointing since last win, but should get enough pace to aim at this field at 12's.

4.50 Tramore - HAVINGAGOODTIME - Bit better last time and not sure this lightly raced sort should be 66's.

5.50 Tramore - GREANTA - Was off for a fair while, so would have needed her last 2 runs. Respectable fifth of 9 last time in handicap at Sligo when badly hampered and can improve today at 20's.

6.50 Tramore - DEOR - 17L Maiden win came over a similar trip, but no success since. Plenty of support last time over hurdles and interesting back on the flat today at 14's.

11.05 Turffontein - MASTER AND MAN - THE LAWYER looks the sensible one at 7's, but MAM looks a once raced possible improver at 33's.

12.55 Turffontein - MADIBA'S MAGIC - Moderate form in 3 starts to date, but bred to enjoy the extra and can improve on stable debut for a very shrewd trainer. Interesting EW shout at 20's. Could not rule out OCEANS PRIDE either at the same price.

1.35 Turffontein - IRISH PRIDE - Arrives here in fair form and is the jockey's only ride on the card at 10's.

2.15 Turffontein - BOSPHORUS - Useful sort at this level and looks on a fair mark at 10's.

THE LAWYER held the late run of MAM. Forecast procured, though the other way round would have been better.

12.40 Kenilworth - FRONT AND CENTRE - Nicely bred debutante at 10's.

12.40 - Also adding OVER TAKING at 66's

Sunday 19th August

11.45 Scottsville - ROCKET FIRE looks fair for a nicely bred newcomer at 7's, but just going with that as a cover bet / small profit. Adding it for the combination forecast with these 3 -

ALFONSA SPAGONI ( Nicely bred newcomer at 14's )
THE NEW GENERATION ( Opened quite short, but drifted and ran accordingly on debut. Possible improver today at 40's )
KING KOTINI ( First sign of life last time and probably still an outsider on balance of form. Bit surprised by the early 100's on show )

12.20 Scottsville - `BELAZADA and SECOND REQUEST - Both quite nicely bred, but neither showed up in their respective trial runs. Taking a put that one / both are better than that at 16's and 33's respectively.

12.55 Scottsville - AT THE OPERA - Much improved last time ( 3rd start ) and hopefully can come on again at 10's.
