It is a very interesting race! I did like the clive brittain runner caught my eye at newbury- but is fairly open altho the prices would not suggest that!
One for tomorrow chaps: SHORT SQUEEZE in the 6.35 at Goodwood I was in a Tesco on my way home from work and overheard a lad wearing a Hugo Palmer jacket telling another lad that this should go well tomorrow. They worked today's winner AUDACIA with him the other day and she couldn't get past him, so today's result bodes well for his chances. Wanted to put it up before I forgot!
Can't resist a few quid on Times Up at 8/1. I think he's moved to a better trainer and one who can get them right first time out. Ryan Moore is a plus and his form towards the back end of last season is enough to make me think he's the value here.
8:00 Gowran Park - Badger Daly 4/1 To win, small EW on Lilly the Lioness 16/1 in same race and rev f/c
Quite sweet on Miblish on the Brigadier Gerard Stakes - I've decided Main Sequence is an absolute dog, Danadan is giving weight and has it to do to hold Miblish. Clive Brittan's charge for me.
Second and last bet of the day here as I want to save some money for 3 big fancies tomorrow. Danadana hopefully too good for these at 2/1
Bloody hell that Miblish takes forever to get going - should try riding him from the front and pushing him along with half a mile to run
Cheers Oddy. Tempted to back both Bell horses at Epsom tomorrow. Have a look at Madame Defarge running at Newmarket last time. Note that she was behind TALENT in that race, the perceived Beckett 2nd string. Let me know what you think. Looks an absolute brute in build. She will improved for the trip but we need Queally to get the tactics right, which worries me. THE LARK travelled like a good horse LTO and will relish a stiffer pace. I think they are far from out of it tomorrow.
Lovely TopClass Now for Mango Diva & Shamaal Nibras for the trixie! Shame about the rule 4s on both of those races
I may be getting suckered in by the winning margin, but I thought Secret Gesture was very, very impressive in winning the Lingfield Oaks trial and she will have no problems with the ground. She had some horses with decent 2YO form behind her at Lingfield and although you need to be careful about taking that too literally, I though she handled the undulations really well at Lingfield and for me she is a worthy favourite. The Stoute horse is a beast but will she act round the course I wonder? The Bell horses are interesting but I think it will take a very good performance to beat Secret Gesture.
