Hmmm… not sure how I missed her. Even so, she’s the only one and she’s rated exactly 160, so the point still stands: it’s not a strong race.
Now, something could go and win by fifteen lengths on the bridle and turn in a monster performance, but at this stage it looks a very weak renewal.
It might be a weak renewal, but it looks like a betting type of race. My best result was in 1989 when 50/1 Beech Road won and it just might be a similar type of result this year.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.
