I’ll do some more work on this in the morning but at first glance Buckstay does look laid out for this and hasn’t gone unbacked at 20s with Hills.
I stuck a bit on Squats. Maybe it’s my guilty conscience calling me to do some exercise…
Projection should go close, he travelled well at Newmarket but just wasn’t fit enough to go on. Trainer and jockey combo working well this year with Atty Persse striking a couple of days ago here.
One at a price for me is Steady Pace. Steadily improving as a sprinter and had a good campaign in Dubai, finishing close behind Final Venture on a few occasions. Showed promise at 2 but never really got into gear as a 3 year old, being tried at 5,6,7 & 8 furlongs.
Josie Gordon gets the ride and I fancy she could still have a big win for the ladies at this meeting.Projection & Steady Pace each way 8/1 & 20/1
Flabbergasted this morning to see that Timeform have tipped my first choice, Danzeno. He was a beaten favourite 4 times last year which is somewhat off-putting but I can’t forget the wild but talented Danzeno of 2 or 3 years ago. Fingers Xd for a good run
I’ve had more of a look now and have added to my Buckstay bet. Projection (17/2) and Raucous (11/1) both seem likely winners to me. They’re drawn stand side and the generous feeling is that is the place to be. They have similar profiles and I believe they will relish this test. It would be folly not to have something drawn low just in case therefore, Steady Pace (22/1) looks to be an under-the-radar type. He had cracking form at 2 and is feasibly handicapped to run a good race on ground he likes.
Disappointed that Big Time didn’t make it, as he was one of my 2 main fancies for the meeting, but more than happy to try again.
I’m really keen on Projection now, but a bit short for me for this type of prize, but I’ve bet him to cover stakes.
In the end I’ve went for Squats 28’s, and G Force 33’s, both each way 6 places.
GL all
Out do and danzeno at the prices…. will be laying the front 2
Great call Out Do ham.
Looked a bookies benefit result.
People backing Raucous at 11/2 should be checking into the local asylum this evening.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Birchwood had decent early speed but he looks like a shadow of himself. This was last chance saloon at huge odds. I can’t fathom people who back at single figure odds in races like this. There is no value at all there.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Great call ham
Projection ran well as all charltons are doing at the moment just difficult to win from that draw.
