    Me too BigG, me picking a horse normally nobbles their chances but just checked my premium bonds for the June draw and have scooped a £100 so that’s a good omen :yahoo:

    Racing post from a breeding point of view predicting a wayne lordan double. Im surprised ryan went for tuesday and seamie and wayne must be eyeing winning the oaks. The fav may well romp home but if not its anybodys race and why thoughts of june is such a long price is baffing to me especially as there have been such big price winners recently. Concert hall looks a cracking ew bet to me.

    Fingers crossed BigG, just seen this comment from trainer in RP

    Trainer Ed Walker: “I think she’s overpriced. We’ve met With The Moonlight twice and beaten her twice, yet she’s 11-1 and we’re 66-1. Our filly relaxes and I’m confident she’ll stay. I believe there’s a lot more to come and think you’ll see a different horse to the one who ran in the Prix Cleopatre on her first run of the season.”

    “We’ve met With The Moonlight twice and beaten her twice, yet she’s 11-1 and we’re 66-1”

    ———————–

    That’s just plain stupid talk from Ed Walker.
    It seems Ed either does not understand form or is clutching at straws.

    Yes, Kawida beat With The Moonlight twice last year…

    But once was in a novice stakes where Kawida came second to Star From Afarhh with WTM a further 6 1/4 lengths behind in 4th. Winner has beaten just one home in three races since and the horse between Kawida and WTM the third Yorkindness remains a maiden from six starts.

    Kawida did win the Listed Montrose stakes. This time she beat WTM 2 lengths, but again the two were separated by Flash Betty half a length behind Kawida. Flash Betty has since gone down to Cachet twice; by 7 lengths in the Nell Gwyn and 20 lengths (last) in the 1000.

    Star Of Afarhh, Yorkindness and Flash Betty’s form must all be taken into account when analysing Kawida’s runs with With The Moonlight.

    WTM’s other three races all resulted in victory and last time out easily won the Pretty Polly. Although the form rated conventionally could be picked holes in, the time cannot. Less than one hundredth of a second per furlong worse than the 1000 Guineas on the same day, proving it was a much improved performance.

    ie Using time as a way of rating horses, WTM could not have done that time unless she was pretty good. At least as good as Tuesday put up when placed in the 1000 Guineas.

    Good luck with Kawida, but it is With The Moonlight who is imo overpriced.

    Tranquil Lady 18-1 ew 4pl looks a decent bet to me. I like her breeding, she shouldn’t mind the ground and I don’t think the trainer would send her just to have one in the race.

    I’ve plumped for Thoughts Of June @20s to win and a small e/w wager on Kawida at 66s.
    Best of luck to all :good:

    I’m still harking back to backing Roses For The Star each-way in Pawneese’s Oaks. Little success since…

    However, have gone each-way with With The Moonlight who has done precious little wrong and was impressive in winning the Pretty Polly on seasonal debut.

    “I’m a big fan of Nashwa”

    I think the drying ground is in her favour as it surely gives her a better chance of being fully effective at 1m4f.

    Thoughts of June.

    Vastly improved last time out when winning for the first time and extra distance here should not be a detriment. Stamina on top and speed on the bottom side of her breeding…

    I think Emily Upjohn likely wins

    But iv come down on Concert Hall at 12/1 e/w 4 places as the best alternative

    TUESDAY has run on well in both of her big races.
    Each way the call for her to get into the places again to frank Homeless songs performance.
    Colin Keane has just the one ride on
    THE ALGARVE. A highly under rated jockey. each way.
