Fair play to ITV for showing 3 races from Perth today. That and an early mountain stage in the Tour should make for a great afternoon's viewing.
Lucinda Russell should have a good day at Perth - she had a hat-trick on their card on August 11th - although she did have a staggering 16 runnersbut relies on just 10 today. Anyway we all like a trier
and the ones who could add to her tally today are Lucky Flight (2.05), Gemologist (3.50) and Vino's Choice (4.25).
Stick - the ex-Joseph O'Brien horse should take all the beating in the bumper?
Shout with Lucky Flight mate
Former Derby runner Telecaster runs at Deauville today and on ratings he has a good chance. The trainer admitted to making a mistake in running the inexperienced colt at Epsom and the original plan was to drop his sights after a tame effort in the Classic. Morrison went back on that thinking and sent the horse to the Eclipse and it back-fired badly, leading to the trainer telling himself off for twice failing to stick to the original plane.
Telecaster won a group 3 in France this season and did it easily but it was a weak affair where he was 2/5 Fav. Stepped up to Group 2 company at York, he had a tougher task but met a mixed bag of horses in terms of reliability and he had a chance if building on the Longchamp win. In the end he could manage only 4th place and was a shade disappointing.
Today's race is again a Group 2 but it looks a good bit weaker company today. The downsides for Telecaster this time are that he steps up in trip again and the ground is testing. He's not proven at the trip yet and it is going to be a slog today in all likelihood. At the odds, I feel he needs to be opposed in the circumstances.
Ziyad won this race last season and that ticks some boxes right away. His most recent start was in a Group 1 at Saint Cloud, where he was 3rd, beaten just a neck and a head. That is decent form and the question today is the testing ground. It was good ground when Ziyad won last season and the different surface has to be a question but looking at the opposition and their question marks I thought Ziyad was the one to be with.
In the previous race I took Telemaque at decent odds. He flopped on debut at 2YO but I felt that was too bad to be true, so gave him another chance when he returned this year. He went down a head at 12/1 that day, which was very frustrating. Last time out he was third but he took a false step and slipped that day, dropping back through the field. in the circumstances he did well enough to be just over a length back in 3rd. If he is trouble free today he may have a chance on an uninspiring race at 7/1 odds.
2.50 Deauville Telemaque 7/1
3.25 Deauville Ziyad 13/8

Poor today...definitely not a going weekend.Morning all..two bets for me today:
Perth 2.05pm Guardia Top 7/2 win. Gets a lot of weight from her rivals..should appreciate the ground more this time being able to get her toe in and is back down in trip. Comes up from the Hawke stable...that's around a 1500 miles round trip. Big run expected.
Goodwood 2.25pm The Cruising Lord 14/1 each way. Very well handicapped, drawn well and has the excellent Tom Marquand on board. Providing he handles underfoot conditions must go close.
Good luck all..
Great shout Stickler - wish I could say I'd seen it in time to follow - but you're probably glad I hadn't
Nice racing from Perth, hoping Native Fighter can do it next.
Half the price of Stick's, but a very welcome mini boom
Going Native again next

A Mug's Double ... how apt
I'll take it though - 2 winners for the first time in ages!

Well done mate
Great shout, Stick!
Shout, Oddy, good luck with the next two!
What a great jockey young William Buick is riding from the front. His ride on Native Tribe was a masterpiece.
