a smashing 5 days of top flat racing.i really like duke of marmalade in the prince of wales.henry the navigator will take all the beating obviously on tuesday.can yeats make it three in a row.is bankable a handicap good thing in the royal hunt cup.im really looking forward to it.
Himalaya 4-20 Coventry Stakes today! Currently 4/1; Will definately be in the shake-up my only decision is to back him outright or e/w!
i was given a tip for a double in the horses this week Ascot - double win on yeats and duke of marmalade mate of mine was down at aiden o briens training course - said they are favourites but both definetes
My Fancies Today: 1) Finsceal Beo 2) Takeover Target 3) Henrythenavigator 4) Peter Tchaikovsky 5) Jawad 6) Light the Fire
My Bets for today 2.30 Finsceal Beo 2 pts e/w hopefully will show her early season form on her favoured fast ground. 3.05 Dandy man 2 pts e/w lost a shoe the last day at haydock when fleeting spirit blitzed home in a track record. I reckon fleeting spirit may bounce so i'm going to lay her as well for 2 pts in the win market if she hits less than 2-1 and gonna lay her in the place market at about 1.5 if i can for 4 pts. 3.45 Henrythenavigator should win but having backed him to win both Guineas he's too short for me today. 4.20 Peter Tchaikovsky 2 pts e/w O'Brien always seems to target one of his best 2 year olds at this race so even though the form of his maiden win doesn't look anything special i still reckon he's well woth a punt today. 4.55 Tritonville lodge 0.5 pt e/w Tricky handicap so just a small each way punt on Emma L's horse just in case as it's about 50s. 5.30 2 year listed event with 25 runners.... no bet thanks.
jamie spencer says he is on a penalty kick in the 8.00 yarmouth.he said it on get on this morning on attheraces.its 8/11 in powers but if its a certainty.....
Down 5.5 pts after yesterdays racing, God i hate the flat LOL! Anyway today's card 2.30 Dream Eater came 5th in the English 2000 so at 7/1 i think he's an absolute cracker of an each way bet to nothing with most firms paying first 4 so i'm havin a big 5 pts each way. I wouldn't put anyone off doing Jupiter Pluvuis either as i'm sure he'll be placed as well but he has a 3LB penalty to carry so i'm going to stick with Dream Eater. 3.05 Not having a bet in this race but Heaven sent looks sure to go well. What's putting me off a bet is Jamie Moores dismal record at riding Ascot. Doesn't seem to bother Michael Stoute though. 3.45 Duke of marmalade looks a good thing but too short for me really, i certainly wont be laying him. 4.20 Bankable 7/4 in a 30 horse handicap with a high draw....LAY LAY LAY. I know i'm taking a risk here as he's many peoples banker of the whole meeting but at that price i just have to take him on with so many horses on my side. i know he's extremely well handicapped but sure who's to say something else hasn't been put away for this race with just as much in hand on the ratings. Lay 4 pts 4.55 The Tommy Stack trained Nabam Lady cathes my eye here as an outsider who could run well at a big price. Stack doesn't usually over face his horses so i'll have a small 1 pt e/w. 5.30 Yet Another fillies only race (3rd of the day) with nothing jumping off the page so no bet for me.
After Yesterdays Selections: 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd. I'm playing catch up. 1) IL WARRD 2) GRECIAN DANCER 3) DUKE OF MARMALADE 4) LANG SHINING 5) SUGAR FREE 6) JAZZ JAM These will save me today!
