Youmzain or Viva Pataca.

Youmzain ran a cracker in this race last year, he should get the strong pace he needs. Hope he wins for connections.

As much as I like Youmzain, i cant have him at such a short price. The pace usually sticks in turf races in Nad Al Sheba and he always seems to find a way not to win no matter how strong or weak the race is..

cant have viva pataca at such a short price either. might have to plump for Oracle West who always runs well on the track..

I don't even know what prices they are if I'm honest. You're right about Youmzain though, I'm still not convinced he always wants to win. I won't be having a bet, but I would really enjoy seeing him win if he did manage to.

Oracle West is a solid ew bet, as you say, he always runs his race at the track and won't be far away at the line.

Mourilyan sold to the prez of Chechnya from the Aga Khan. The Aga is not stupid, so I dont think they are that confident he'll win... I was thinking about playing him, but after this- NO!!!

Okay well I like half the field here..... :D

yeah alot in with chances.. got oracle west at 50-1 on betfair, but had to put something on doctor dino and quijano..

Sun wins and a lovely run by Viva!

yeah, lovely trip, but man such a good filly, had the race won along way out.

Let's hear it for South Africa!!!!! :cool:

yeah, such a good day for them.. she heads to england this summer apparantly.. peeping fawn better start exercising now...
