All Racing Tips w/c 22nd January including the Cape Town Met

Really looking forward to the Met. My early fancy is Bless my Stars @ 10/1. Also would much rather be taking Top 4 @ 7/10 her than See it Again.

My other fancy is Double Superlative @ 33/1.

Will post anymore during the week.

Yeah just saw now, very disappointing they not running. I honestly thought both had set up there horses in Cape Town already.

Will also have another look at the main race now.

Awesome days racing awaits, looking forward to it and hoping for See it Again for the smaller stable, but not at that price.
My thoughts for tomorrows bearing in mind most fav’s look hard to beat, but I like these outsiders.

Race 1 – Exacta of Lion Rampart / Roman Agent / Winds of Change


Race 2 – Prom Queen @ 40/1
Sibling Exchange Student was pacey early, by Gimmeagreenlight which throughs up early pace. And stable known to have them ready 1st time up. Slight concern is stable Jock on stables other horse, but my belief is when running for this just having another top jock up is good.
Besides the obvious favs, also like Master Casper / Sicily and the Mask. Might also do a Trifecta with 2 favs.

Race 3 – Holding Thumbs @ 10/1 (HWB)
I remember last time the talk from course was all about this one and won easily. Stable said they thought highly of him. Yes a huge step up in class but won well enough giving weight away.

Race 4 – Money Heist @ 45/1 (WSB)
I think South or Mackem highlighted him previously. This maybe a bit short of his best, but last time over 1600m beat the fav and now getting an additional 4.5kg’s from At My Command. Just think pricing is wrong, so also taken Top 5 for 32/10 @ HWB.

Race 5 – Ripple Effect @ 66/1 (WSB) & Miss Maguerite @ 33/1
Ripple Effect – 3rd run for stable and gets stable jock up. If can find any of early form behind Mrs Geratrix or Lucky Lad could go close.
Miss Maguerite – on last run getting weight from both Shantastic and Winter Cloud. Gets top Jock in Gav, worth a shot at this price.

Race 6 – Bereave @ 14/1
Last time C & D was just behind 2 fav’s. I am going to hold off having a punt as think tomorrow morning we could get a slightly better price as all 3 fav’s owners and stables punt if I remember, so we might get a bit better tomorrow.

Race 7 – Make it Snappy @ 18/1 (WSB)
I just think there is value here. This horse was unbelievable last year, and yes coming back from a long break but stable I don’t think would run her in a Grade 1 if not ready. Gets stable jock up.
Yes will be shouting Beach Bomb home but I just think 11/10 top 4 @ HWB is to good to pass, and if wait till tomorrow, will probably be able to get 14/10 @ BetX top 4. There prices are always a few points better than HWB.

Race 8 – Sunshine Day @ 18/1
Fav’s look hard to oppose, but Sunshine Day had a decent run behind Gimme a Nother, giving her 1Kg and only finishing 3l behind. Well drawn and gets JP up who is in form. Surprised Gav not up as stable jock. But lets see.

Race 9
With Bless my Stars out, struggling, still like Double Superlative, but after stable comments not so sure. For now will add an old one I have followed for awhile, Waterberry Lane. Will just be for an additional interest.

Race 10
Hard race to look past fav’s, will probably have a bit on One Way Traffic.

If I am still alive and not been kicked out of my house.
Race 11 – Kingsboy @ 33/1 (HWB)
Like the breeding, sure there aren’t to many Kingman around. Am sure bred for much further but sometimes class pulls you through. Also taken some Top 6 @ 2/1 with them.

Enjoy the racing tomorrow and all the best for your punts

Great thoughts KT as always, some lovely picks, a few overlap -

Race 1: Winds of Change @ 25/2 ew
I have to skip the top 2 and the breeding on this really jumped out. Expensive purchase, big owners, reserve runner. That caught my eye and is now in the race. Drawn widest so can hopefully run own race, and on breeding the WaW + classy dam should produce some real pace.

Race 2: Sicily @ 12/1, The Mask @ 40/1
Sicily – yard does well with youngsters first time out, has been a bit of money for it and will include.
The Mask – 40/1 feels big, I like the breeding, plenty pace in siblings, Yeni goes will for GK yard.

Race 3: Fatal Gem @ 14/1 ew
Not a race I’m getting too involved in, muddling form, will try the filly off a low weight, could be getting a pacemaker from stablemate?

Race 4: Captain Fontaine @ 12/1 ew
RF keeps the ride, 3rd run for stable and still seems to retain his class and turn of foot.

Race 5: Pacific Green @ 16/1 ew
Open race and 4yr old with 52kg on back, is a gutsy sort and hopefully can repeat last effort.

Race 6: Bartholdi @ 33/1 ew
This is my biggest lurker on the day. 4th in race last year but this time has had a prep in Cape although was after layoff. That cape merchants was a hot hot race, I though 4th was a cracking effort. 33/1 with Bling on board, great value in my opinion.

Race 7: Beach Bomb 33/10
Not going to overthink, staying loyal 33/10 on the nose.

Race 8 onwards to follow.

Race 5 - adding Ripple Effect, same thoughts as KT and mackem, this one if back to peak is simply overpriced @ 66/1.

Race 8: King of the Gauls @ 20/1 ew.
Really tough race if look outside top 2, think this one could be a lurker and would be a race the owner would love to add to his collection of achievements over the years.

MET -
Battling to find a strong fancy so will stick with MONTIEN @ 25/1 ew, maybe trip will suit him more, had been seriously impressive prior to bumping the best, possibly more to come.

Race 10: Decorated @ 40/1 ew.
3rd run for yard, on best form could pop up, Yeni good record on him.

Race 11: Azzuri @ 33/1 ew.
Like the breeding but anything could pop up this race.

Well it must be a big day in the sa horseracing calender caus kt mackem southpaw all just tipped a 50/1 winner in Ripple Affect. Thanls guys. Was small bet but im happy lol

Fantastic kt Chris and South. And one of my books actually gave me 75/1. Happy Days

Well played gents, fantastic tipping

Hope you backed Double superlative KT. I managed to leave it out.

Thanks South, yip doubled down on him when went 33/1 just before the off.

Exciting times ahead Chris.

T4 - Green Bubbles @ 33/1 ew, experience over others could help run into money.

T6- Emirates Gina @ 17/2 ew. Ignore last run much better than that and positive jock booking.

Agree Mackem, exciting times.

Thanks South, i like the following:
Race 2 - Lady if Tibet @ 14/1 (WSB)
Siblings all showed decent pace early in career, and drawn on the outside which normally helps.
Will take swingers with Tintamarre

Race 3 - Force de Dieu @ 14/1
Ran 5 days ago and wasnt embaressed, decent run and keeps same Jock up. Well drawn.

Race 5 - Cosmic Star @ 7/1
Drawn on right side of track and runs have been good in the softer going. Also won C/D

Race 6 - Shoemaker @ 5/1
I feel for this, always seems to find something in running to block it. Hoping for a better run and getting weight from fav.

Enjoy the racing
