Disappointing day last saturday, 3 placings - Playwright 10x2.80, Vitex 10x1.50 and Al Sahra 20x3.00 = 103.00 return and a loss for the day of 17.00 giving and o/all loss of 173.00. The bank is still holding up after 18 weeks with 1027.00 in the kitty.

Today is the last day to pay for the chicken, ham, prawns, lobster, oysters and refreshments for next friday. Not really confident with the 1st investment being GEEJAYHAITCH 10x10 in R4 at Flemington, Tasmanian who has had 2 runs this time in and will run the distance although it is a decent jump of 700m from it's last start. Race 5 Randwick is the next and PINATAS 20x20, drawn out and will get back but will be running on.PALACIO DE CRISTAL 10x10 in R6 Randwick is facing a decent rise in class but did have a very nice win at her last attempt. THE JACKAL 10x10 in R7 Randwick will appreciate the open spaces and long run in, should be racing fit at 4th run back.Finally to Ascot R5 and LARGO LAD 10x10 is the bet and for no other reason than i don't want him to get under my guard. Has ability but whether Ascots suits, we shall find out.

I wish all the very best for the festive season, enjoy and stay safe.
