Morning

7.30 Newcastle-Harbour Patrol

Each Way @ 8-1 [Bet Bright]

Think he will give the odds on horse a race

 

In that same race the connections of TWIGGY are expecting a big run tonight.

 

As the forum got the forecast when I did this yesterday... what wins the 2:05 (better Rainer?) at Southwell?

 

The Lock Master for me if I was backing one.

Croeso Cymraeg

 

Info received, backed it in the form of a Lucky15 (with Betfred, get 3xprice if only 1 winner, plus other bonus)

 

I see in the racing post yesterday it was reported that Tea for Two is being primed for a crack at the cross country race at the festival before a tilt at the grand national. That route has been well and truly trodden before with the likes of Tiger Roll, Cause of Causes and Balthazar King proving it's a good stepping stone and prep. What does the forum think of his chances? And guaranteed female jockey in the race. I don't think Lizzie has ridden in the race before and wouldn't that be a great story eh?

 

Filament of Gold

 

She’s no Nina C!!

It smacks of desperation I think

 

It seems a sensible option as the horse is short of being good enough to win a really big race now. I am not convinced that he is good enough to emulate those that you have named. As you rightly say she will fill many newspaper coulumns and will be the housewifes pick for the National (unless they have seen the video of course).

 

3.05 Meydan

Godolphin are throwing a few darts here. Divine Image is generally all the rage and well supported at 6/4. Lover's Knot is also a positive but they can't both win so why money for the pair?

Dubai Beauty has kept the strongest company, having run in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac but she seemed all at sea at this track last time.

Al Hayette has won at the track and that is a big positive. We saw Derby winner Masar run like a scabby donkey at the Meydan Festival last year, tailed off and running to a RPR of 22.

Given that Divine Image is a once raced Chelmsford winner running at a new track 6/4 seems skinny to me. If she's class then fair play to her.

I went for Doug Watson's Razeena at a better price of 16/1. Only raced once, she has 4 lengths to find with Al Hayette but she's open to improvement. She can close the gap on her former sparring partner at treble the odds.

In a tricky enough affair a small play at bigger odds seemed the choice.

 

meydan,3 40:

although SPORTING CHANCE made no show on his track debut here a few weeks ago,he won a good listed race at ripon last season,and with the experience under his belt now,could go well e w here..

 

Meydan 4:15
Switzerland 3/1

 

I did like the look of Golden Jaguar at Meydan, won its first race by 4 lengths and was 12-1 over this longer distance and new surface (turf as opposed to dirt last time) and won this one by 2 lengths, started nowhere, came from way outside and won easily
