Cheers guys, can t believe it went to 4/1 to be honest. I suppose you always get decent prices against the overseas horses if people dont know them. It has improved from last season so well happy with that one especially as it was my BBOTD!

Thats half that price now yet I am not convinced by the high draw & also the trends that i have put up which favours horses weighing less than 9st. Oceana Gold could go well & also Kavachi both at big prices. I also like Lang Shining & Docofthebay yet they all have thier negatives & if i was pushed Docofthebay albeit drawn 1 has firstimeblinkers on & I just feel its worth a place at least. Its 8/1 w/o Bankable with Tote, that looks too big.

Kavachi 4th @ 33/1
Docofthebay 2nd 8/1

1st 4 home drawn 4-1-6-5 why did the high numbers come down the near side, surely would have been best to stay on the far rail.

FLIPANDO and MR AVAITOR for me.

MR AVATIOR got a bit of 85"s on BF this morning

[Pmacca]

You guys are talented

[welshman443]

well done tedthewolf--i backed it at 33/1-but only because i saw they were backing it just before the off had a cople of pound e/way

[tedthewolf]

I think 4.55 CONNIE MAC is worth an e/w bet dropped in trip imo

Jersey Stakes

This is one of the few group races in the season that I look forward to. I've backed many winners in this event and I think it's a great race for punters. There have been some stand out bets in recent years with horses dropping down in class and trip.

Generous Thought is a horse I rate and have backed each time this season, he has been clobbered by the handicapper without winning so connections probably thought that have no choice but to up him in class. This could be a strep too far but he is sure to give a good account of himself.

Aqlaam has had this as his target before he won his maiden. He looked classy when he did and the race worked out well. Think he'll win a Listed+ race but this may've come too soon.

Jupiter Pluvius has been forgotten a little by punters after missing the Guineas due to problems. He come a long way very quickly at two and his form last season is rock solid. He beat the very useful Famous Name in a Group 3 just 8 days after his racecourse debut. He looked below par on his comeback in the Irish 1000 but if he is right would take all the beating here.

Calming Influence has impressed me each time he ran. He bolted up against some useful types on his 2yo debut and travelled like a top horse to maintain his unbeated record in the King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket.

Stimulation was a head behind him then and his 4lb better off. He also looks like a genuine 7f horse - however the way Calming Influence travelled I'm expecting him to improve again and confirm placings with Stimulation.

Calming Infuence 50% of stake 5.5 betfair
Jupiter Pluvius 30% of stake 7 betfair
Aqaalm 15% of stake 11.5 betfair
Generous Thought 5% of stake 21 betfair

Will play about with combos including Stimulation.


Prince Of Wales Stakes

After the Juddmonte I predicted that I'd probably have my biggest Group race bet of the year next time Phoenix Tower runs.

Well I think that is going to be the case.

He has gone from strength to strength so far in his short career and ran a cracker LTO in that Juddmonte desptie be hindered by the slow pace. Henry Cecil was gutted after the race, also blaming the the muddling gallop, he obviously fancied him to win that G1.

He is definitely worth a try at the trip and he looks a cast iron E/W bet.

Duke Of Marmalade is entitled to be fav and will be hard to beat, he is a genuine G1 performer. I do think however that the too are price too far apart.

Bar the front two I think the race lacks depth, Ask and Sixties Icon would need further to win at this level and Literato looks out of sorts.

Pipedreamer could run well at a price, I'm certain there are group races in him, perhaps not one of this class though.

Pressing runs for Michael Jarvis here, fresh from Italy. I backed Rakti on his first UK start in this when he was 2nd at 50/1. The days of getting that sort of price on decent Italian form are gone. Interesting but not big enough in the betting for me.

Toyed with win each Duke Of Marmalde/Phoenix Tower but with the lack of depth I've gone for the E/W bet thinking that Phoenix is unlikely to be beaten by three of the field.

Phoenix Tower 50% of stake E/W 6.4 and 2.14 betfair


Royal Hunt Cup

See my thread


Sandringham Handicap (Listed)

Half of John Gosden's last ten runners have made the frame in this and I was very sweet on his Illusion LTO. Her maiden form had worked out well and I expected her to go close in the tough handicap won by Redford at Doncaster.

She travelled like the winner for a long way but wasn't suited by the dawdling pace and perhaps the G/S ground.

She will definitely win more races and I expect a big run here against some uninspiring fillies at the head of the weights.

Illusion 50% of stake E/W 10/1 Hills

Really fancied my chances today. Could've been better but four winning bets from four.

[JackJarvis]

Well played mate.

Really impressed by Duke Of Marmalade, it seems like Ballydoyle dominating... AGAIN!
