Don't like too much today so a lucky 15 for interest for me:
Illuminate - beat a future listed winner first time up in good style despite not been too fancied, would expect an improved performance today
Stravagante - Bit worried about SMS's form this week but this horse looked better than handicap level at Epsom and would like to think he is certainly up to group 2 standards
Anthem Alexander - Very pleasing seasonal reappearance for which I expect her to improve, think Tiggy Wiggy & Hootenanny will set this race up perfectly
Lucinda - These prices are the wrong way round, should be favourite in my eyes, looked to have made a winning move in the 1000 but just out stayed close home by a stronger filly. Expect compensation today - will also back her in a single
 
Are moderators allowed to punt? Oh yes, Oddy has a fling now and again, so it's OK. Will not lodge a protest, then.....<laugh>
 
Good source has told me that bantry bay is being run to give 'young joseph' a winner.Ryan Moore is on the other stable horse Aloft which is market leader but I'm told bantry bay is the one to be on.The way Moore is riding at the moment it wouldnt suprise me if Aloft obliges.I backed BB this morning at 7s and I see there is money down for it as its now into 4s.
Same source gave me Kingfisher which was terribly unlucky yday.Also gave me Ballydoyle in the first tomo
 
My aunt did a 10p e/w lucky63 on Moore yesterday £645 return!
Me I backed his ride in the last - loser!

Reactions: Ste D
Might be the last bet of the meeting today as I have looked at the Saturday card and the ones that I fancy are going to be too short.

Albany Stakes: Azhar (no bet, do not touch two-year-olds at this meeting)
King Edward VII: Ol’ Man River (no bet, picked just because it is Moore!)
Commonwealth Cup: Hootenanny (no bet, stupid price because of who is on it)
Coronation Stakes: LUCIDA
Duke Of Edinburgh: Watersmeet (no bet, do not do many handicaps here)
Queen’s Vase: Antiquarium (no bet, don’t fancy Johnston’s so can Buick steal it?)
 
6.20 Down Royal. SCORPION STAR. 8-1. Win Bet.
7.25 Down Royal. REALDEALHOLYFIELD 10-1. Win Bet.

The horse is called Ballydoyle - got to be a superstar.
 
Never been one to get too upset about ratings or Timeform ratings but this has REALLY made me chuckle.... Timeform have rated yesterday's Grade 3 winner Time Test higher than Grade One winning stars such as Treve, Solow, Gleneagles, Cirrus des Aigles, Al Kazeem, Free Eagle, The Grey Gatsby <rofl> What are they smoking?! Yes I loved his performance as much as anyone, performance of the week to me, but to be putting him ahead of that stellar company already <laugh> Biggest load of nonsense, well since desert rat Trysters rating..
 
Nobody's interested in this! But this evening's meeting at Newmarket, Melabi runs in the 7.05 and priced@15/2, has an entry in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes. But Nemoralia is only 9/4 and entered in Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
 
Tough looking card today.Laxfield Road Ew/Lucida & Bantry Bay win are my three wagers

The Albany looks wide open. I am taking a punt on Fireglow at 33s. She looked great in her debut I thought.

My pick as well Dan. Run off her feet by the suicidal pace but made up lots of ground towards the finish from a long way back, probably finishing better than anything (may have even got 4th). If Illuminate is 16/1 for the 1000Gns I wonder what price Fireglow will be.
 
Hope Stravagante is ok, pulled up lame. As for Balios, Jamie Spencer is still a **** jockey! <laugh> Guess Emma is biting her tongue interviewing him now. <yikes>
