All the usual content to follow and all this week's racing tips are most welcome her

Taking things easy enough to start the week, Kenilworth picks for Tuesday, just these 3

Race 2 Bullet Catch each way at 25/2. Raced green on all 3 starts to date, not far off winner on last 2 and was backed latest, gelded now and back from a break
Race 6 Oh Isabella at 9/2. Holds a couple of other fancied rivals on previous form, opening mark following maiden win looks fair and scope for further improvement
Race 7 Jordash at 36/10. Looked a very decent prospect early in career, still lightly raced and now having 3rd run back

On the poly at Fairview on Wednesday, playing around these

• Race 2 Joker Man at 9/4. Yet to win on the poly but has run some game races on this surface. Closely matched with a couple of rivals over 1000m but today’s longer trip should suit, Fourie up.
• Race 5 Policy Of Truth at 5/1. Many with chances, selection kicked gate last time but is best judged on penultimate run when a good 2nd over track and trip. Has come in for market support for last 4 runs so worth checking for any race day money
• Race 7 Powerofpeace at 33/10. Useful as a juvenile, in calmer waters 2 runs this season, 4kg claim from appy (1 from 3 for this yard this season) looks a smart move​​​​​​

Fairview Poly Wednesday

Race 1 - American Gem (24/10) in good form of late. El Cohete (8/10) should have won long ago in the Cape. Wary of that price on local poly debut.

Race 2 - Imaginable (3/1) steps up in trip, big weight to carry but goes well for Craig Zackey.

Race 3 - Freestyle Dance (22/10) well beaten 2nd on local debut but form line franked. Carries only 54kgs 

Race 4 - Kleinzee (5/10) unbeaten on this surface, goes for 8 in a row. Tries 2000m for the first time, the horse to beat. The Mikado (11/2) carries only 49.5kgs, and does enjoy this trip. Two good local runs behind Masterofthebaroque who is no slouch. 11/20 top 3 place looks a safe bet. 

Race 5 - Time Honored (18/1 e/w) Won maiden well and could follow up from a good draw and light weight.

Race 7 - Tokyo Princess (22/1 e/w) in and out of form. Jockey strike with Craig Zackey, who has won on her before, now taking the ride.

Race 8 - Vivo Per Lei (16/10) raids from Cape Town. In form of late and a big runner with Mikaelle Michel claiming the extra 1.5kgs.  

Picks for the Vaal (Classic) on Thursday


Race 4 Anahita at 15/10. 2 wins from 9 starts. Holds 3 of today’s rivals on latest run. This is third run back from a break and looks the one to beat although quite a few have chances.
Race 5 Bright Comet at 28/10. Lightly raced 3yo still learning the job ran a good 2nd from a wide gate last time. Has drawn 1today and if settling looks one to be on the right side of.
Race 7 Immediate Edge at 9/2. Class package with 4 wins from 8 starts. Would have needed latest off a long break. Drop in trip poses questions but has placed over slightly shorter so has to be of interest.
Race 8 Eight Hats at 15/10. Has ran 3rd in each of last 3 races, all from wide gates. Drawn 2 today. Big player!

Friday's picks for a double header,

Fairview (Turf)

Race 1 Here Comes Johnny at 6/1. Signs of promise when first moving to ECP, excuses last 3 between breaks. Risky on most recent efforts but booking of Fortune takes the eye
Race 2 Lolly Willowes at 5/2. Local debut and 113 day absence to overcomes but boats the best form in the race. Big player if fit.
Race 5 Ventura Boulevard at 18/10. Wide margin debut win followed by a no show in a feature, Last 2 on poly were decent efforts either side of a break. Back on turf and could prove better than current mark, Fourie up.

Greyville (poly)

Race 4 Blue Poppy at 8/1. Best form has been on poly, mark has been easing and 1.5 kg claimer on board from a handy draw.
Race 5 Crafty Crofty each way at 16/1. Rated 90 around 12 months ago, now down to a 75. Was only 2.5l off in similar company last time out, dropped 5 points for that, same claimer on board
Race 8 The Gliding Fish at 8/1. Drops in class, needed latest, 4kg claimer has 1 win from 3 rides for this yard this season, value play at this price.

Might be short of time on Saturday so posting picks for the Turffontein / Kenilworth double header now.

Turffontein.

Race 1 Golden Warrior at 13/10. Holds 3 of these rivals on last run which was a win and no obvious reason that form should be turned around here. That leaves a couple to beat but clearly in good shape right now so one to keep on the right side of.
Race 3 Major Arcana at 7/2. Still needs to drop the habit of being slow away, back up in trip could suit, drawn 1 a big plus on the inside track as long as he jumps on terms.
Race 4 Blooming Lovely at 25/2. 2 places and 2 no shows in career so far and a speculative selection. Never in it last time out returning from a long break but there was some market interest in contrast to 2 of today’s rivals who finished well in front. Hopefully capable of much better and drawn 1 and up in trip today.
Race 5 Celtic Manor at 33/10. Out of the maidens at fourth attempt, form of that race franked so could still be some blue sky in the rating, drawn handily at 2
Race 9 Boom Boom each way at 14/1. Now 2 points below last winning mark, dropping right back in trip poses a ? but drawn 1 and not taken lightly

Kenilworth 


Race 1 Satin Black at 18/10. Slow away but ran a decent 2nd on her 2nd outing. That looks at least as good as any form on offer, Fourie on board who has won on his only other ride for the yard this season.
Race 2 Hashtag Random each way at 6/1. Took a while for penny to drop on debut, running on too late to earn. Probably looking for further but selection will know more today and no surprise to see her in the money
Race 5 Dubbelosix at 7/2. Good win last time out off a break. 4 point rise fair enough, 2 of 3 career wins this trip
Race 8 Impose at 28/10. Unfancied but won nicely on debut. Form of that race yet to be tested but opening mark looks fair, unexposed and still gets weight from a fancied Snaith runner.

Thanks Chris.

just one for me, Pongola @ 12/1 ew in the last tonight, gets a decent draw for a change and likes course/distance 

i like a bit of duchess of paloma @ 14/1 ew today, race 6 turf. She was thriving on highveld before durban move and returns from a break for new yard.

Will join you on Duchess South, saw some comment from yard about may not be 100% aafter break but should do herself justice so no harm at these odds. 

Strange week, keep finding one to keep me interested, had a couple at Fairview then hit the post with a roughie at Durban last night ticking over today so far. Sunday Greyville, please, please please stay on the turf as took me ages to come up with some of these.

Race 1 Samuel Bellamy at 8/11. Went off odds on and ran 2nd as inexperience got the better of him, more clued up today and looks tough to beat from No 1 draw
Race 3 No 9 Serpentine Fire win at 4/1 and No 3 Bruh to run  in the first 4 at 1.75/1 (. Both these are of interest, the former won nicely last time out, 4 point rise about right and has proven fitness on side. Bruh is overdue a win but latest run in a stronger race was best for some time and is worth keeping on side.
Race 4 Hodgepodge each way at 12.5/1. All 4 wins this track, hasn’ threatened lately but excuses, drawn 15/16 last time and cast shoe penultimate run. Mark is easing and a handy draw of 4 today, Interesting.
Race 5 Jp’s Palace to run in the first 4 at 14/10. Has been running well in feature company, last 2 from wide gates. 1 win and 1 place from 2 c&d runs, 112 day absence to overcome hence the 4 places should he be in need of the run.
Race 7 Japura each way at 7/1. Not disgraced in a big sales race as a juvenile behind some top sorts only try this trip. Two no more than fair efforts off a break at 1000m since then , peak run now back up to 6 furlongs.
Race 8 Gorgeous Guy each way at 20/1. Mark continues to ease and excellent 1.5kg claimer takes the raid today. Well backed when dropped to this grade last time and failed to fire, no obvious excuse there but if on a going day can certainly get involved
