Has progressed massively in all 3 races and must have a serious chance of winning.
Pinatubo may have a big issue coming from the Appleby stable and is unlikely to show his best.WICHITA may be even better than PINATUBO. On Pinatubos 3rd start he recorded an rpr of 108 compared to Wichitas 117.
With WICHITA being open to more improvement than PINATUBO its possible that he could improve past him this time and WICHITA is already proven over Dewhurst CD.
Wichitas mother won on soft ground and that shouldnt be an issue for him.
WICHITA looks guaranteed to show his lifetime best and PINATUBO looks almost guaranteed not to show his best due to the trainers awful form and potential virus in yard.
Pinatubo may not even turn up. Could end up an open goal for WICHITA THE WONDER HORSE
Aiden O’Brien circling like a shark around Poorly Pinatubo.
As others run away from Pinatubo AIDEN runs directly towards him as they supplement WICHITA at a huge cost. Aiden smells blood.
Huge statement of intent from The Godfather O’Brien.
Pinatubo drifting, 2/5 from 1/3 and Ladbrokes dodging any money on Wichita at 3/1.
Charlie must be highly concerned what to do. Does he run his superstar at a time when his horses are clearly wrong or risk running him and getting beat.
If Appleby stable doesnt show any signs of life by thursday then I would expect he may not risk him.
Appleby has just one runner today the short priced fav in the 5 40 chelmsford.PINATUBO IM TOLD IS UNBEATABLE
BUT IF HE TURNS UP HE IS EATABLE
A HORSE HAS BEEN BORN WHO CAN BEAT YA
HIS NAME IS WONDERFUL WICHITAThe superb 7/10 form of Charlie ‘Sick Note’ Appleby continues with his only runner of the day SECRET VICTORY backed into EVS fav from 3/1 this morning. First horse beaten comes home 4th.
Is that 16 consecutive Appleby favs beaten? Absolutely unheard of for this operation.
Its a shame for Pinatubo but it is as it is. The team wont hesitate to take advantage.
Well I think that I can forget Iffraaz in this, with a much bigger field than I had expected. Although it hasn’t stopped me betting him again at 125-1 each way.
With Pinatubo heavy odds on and very likely to win, the angle into this race isn’t trying to beat him but EW surely.
AOB’s usual pre race press comments are very standard lines so I’ve taken note this time about his comments below…
“We think Arizona and Monarch Of Egypt will leave their last few runs behind them here,” O’Brien added. “You can expect big improvement. Arizona is in good shape. It all happened a bit quick for Monarch Of Egypt in the Middle Park. He had a setback earlier in the season and things just happened too quickly there for him. He is going into this race in really good order.”
Monarch of Egypt is a horse I’ve always liked and fancied him for the Middle Park before he drifted badly in the betting suggesting he wasn’t right that day anyway, whether it happened too quick or not.
You don’t read comments like that very often from AOB so I’m taking the hint.
A little bit on Year of the Tiger EW at massive odds is also a cracking looking bet. AOB confirmed he had a blood disorder in the superlative, so we can draw a line through that race meaning he’s improved every race. No way he should be a 150/1.
Monarch of Egypt EW 33/1
Year of the Tiger EW 150/1Saver Arizona 20/1
I have joined you with an EW on Monarch of Egypt at 33s potato. Hope the ground slows the others down.
Hope Pinatubo loses, in fact hope every Godolphin horse loses until Sheikh Mo’ sees sense.

Value Is EverythingMy missus has a go at me for backing any horse owned or connected to the man, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it until she told me.. he also has an issue with one of his wives who escaped with their children, anyway I feel like I’m talking to myself!

Am also on MOE each way at 33/1 but have also backed MYSTERY POWER each way at 40/1 and backed them both at 11/1 and 12/1 w/o the fav!!
