Results after Day 5.

I really want to find out where Jaripeo gets his horses from Roman's Run at 20-1 following on from his nap of Deem.
And well done to Ian as well for going 4/7 with a 16-1 winner as well.

Able to get them up earlier than usual this week - A very good days action but I cant buy a winner at the moment . Anyway enough of me, Ian closes the gap on Jaripeo narrowly, but little change in the order at the top

[NoChanceToDance]

Race 1 - Pointing North (alt, Stubbs Art)
Race 2 - Honour Devil (alt, Dijeerr)
Race 3 - Asset (alt, Buachaill Donna)
Race 4 - Team Victory (alt Moonquake)
Race 5 - Bound By Honour (alt Weald).... Giving him one more chance
Race 6 - Imbongi (alt Gladiatorus)
Race 7 - Rocks Off (NAP) (alt Seihali)...... Really fancy both of these.
Race 8 - Captain Webb (alt Gravitas)

I really struggled to choose between some of these this week. I really really like Gladiatorus, but I know just how hard it is to win from the front here, and Imbongi is the one who should come from off the pace. Two very good horses and not much splitting them for me.

Honour Devil really should win despite giving away weight, it's not a very good race.

I'm giving Pointing North and Better By Honour the benefit of the doubt for their poor previous runs. Their foreign form leaves the others with a lot to find and if they show what they're capable of, they will win, but with both yards out of form it's anyones' guess as to how they will do. Same goes for Team Victory, so I've taken a chance with these, but their previous form is by far the best on show.

Asset was very impressive last time, and the 4lb rise looks pretty lenient, with Warsaw winning well last week (well beaten behind Asset before). He's not always one to trust but he has a lot of class. I also like Instant Recall, but he often finds one too good, and he might not be able to win off his current rating. Buachaill Donna is interesting from this mark after having his pipe opener, could run well at a decent price.

Rocks Off looks a very good bet, after it was obvious he didn't relish the dirt, but even those runs were okay, finishing behind the very good Desert Party on the first start. Back on turf here, and he was a Gr1 winner in South Africa. The grand old performer Seihali could give him the most to do now he's on a very winnable mark, but he's not getting any younger.

[NoChanceToDance]

What do you think to Rocks Off, Pat? I rate him as my best bet by far on tomorrows' card, but it's a bit off putting that you haven't even mentioned him I think, back on turf he will be too good for the others.
